Kind, attentive, thorough. I was visiting Dr. Zimmerman for a second opinion, having received care from another facility just the day before, and still in pain and unsure of what procedure path to take. I left Dr. Zimmerman’s office feeling well taken care of and in the very best of hands for my finger injury. Without a doubt I will refer my family and friends to him should they need the type of services he provides.
