Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

We’ve been seeing Dr Zimmerman the past 5-6 years. She has always been very professional, courteous and a listener. She cares about her patients and takes the time to be sure you understand diagnosis or realm of your appointment and does not rush your appointment. We highly recommend!

Dr Zimmerman has been caring for both of our kids(4 and 1 year old) since they were born. We had gone to her for every illness, fevers, eczema, rashes, cough, etc and she has always been available even by cell phone. She is the greatest pediatrician a parent can hope for! She listens and has the greatest sense of humor, but most importantly...she is great at making sure our kids are healthy so they can run around and cause us troubles. She is the best and we are sooo lucky and blessed to have her.
