Patient Reviews
Feb 10, 2023
I can't say enough great things about Dr Zimmerman. I read a couple of bad reviews and honestly sat there dumbfounded. He is anything but what that person described. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. He explained everything and all my options. Also very realistic expectations. He has done 2 spinal fusions on me in 5 years and the results are exactly as he said they would be, maybe even better. He is also very conservative and surgery was not his first go to remedy! On top of that his bedside manner is excellent, not like some of these condescending doctors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
