Feb 22, 2024
The first time I visited with Dr Zimmerman was in 1992 for a neck injury. Dr Zimmerman suggested I do 6 weeks of intensive therapy and then call him. I followed his instructions and it worked! In 2016 my neck went out, surgery was necessary and Dr Z was still available to assist Dr Jamel in making sure my surgery went well. Today my neck is perfect! Thank you Dr Z and Dr Jamal. So happy to hear Dr Zimmerman is still with the Mayo. Unbelievably gifted Doctors . Thank you from the bottom of my heart!Rod Swearingen, Durango Colorado
