Patient Reviews
Apr 14, 2023
Dr Zimlich met with me for my surgical consultation for bilateral knee replacement. He was extremely professional and spent considerable time answering all of my questions and concerns. Upon the conclusion of our discussion I knew Dr Zimlich was my choice as the surgeon for my procedure. I canceled the remaining two consultations immediately. His attention to detail and his technique with this particular surgery is second to none!!
