He barely spent two minutes with me, He immediately assumed all was ok because my symptoms had improved that morning after a week of excruciating 10/10 pain.

Dr. Zimmerman was key and saving my ability to work 20 years ago. I have a very hard drive work ethic and he managed to make it possible for me to be a productive and valuable person again and for a long time. He and Dr Innis are the greatest as is everyone else there.
