Patient Reviews
Aug 31, 2020
Dr Zimmer was great! Everything from the first visit with his office staff to discharge from the hospital was great. Went in for a consult for my hernia on a Monday and had robotic surgery a week later. I really like how he's direct and to the point. He's very confident in himself and that's what I want in a surgeon. Hope I never need his services again, but if I require surgery in the future I will go back to him.
