Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Zimmer and his PA are excellent!
The doctor is great. ***
Excellent doctor, excellent team would refer all friends and family.
Dr Zimmer and staff are the best !!!
Dr. Zimmer was very affable and my experience with him and his staff has been one of the best in my recent encounters with medical personnel. I was able to make appointments directly with his office without having to navigate deplorable labyrinths of a scheduling bureaucracy and my waits for appointments were within a couple of weeks instead of months. During my last appointment I came in with a request for some paper work from him which his office filled promptly. While I was there I also asked for a follow-up steroid injection for a painful rotator cuff injury which he treated several months earlier. After testing for the location and intensity of the pain he complied. My appointment was at 9:30 and I was in my car heading home at 10:00.
Excellent doctor and his team and his physical therapy team

I'd recommend him and his staff to anyone who needs help with the health of their hands!
