99.99% of perceived quality of care is the bedside manner of the physician. A patient hopes to find both technical acumen as well as a good bedside manner. My experience with Dr Zimmerman was excellent as he diagnosed my ailment quickly and offered all treatment options while advocating for the most conservative option. Great experience.

Dr. Zimmerman was excellent. I had so much anxiety when I removed my brace and was shaking due to my nerves. The Dr. catered to my stress and made me feel better about my situation. I couldn’t be happier with the care he and Dr. Neuman have provided.
