I would highly recommend Dr. Zimmer to anyone for surgery. He and his staff are very professional and friendly. I felt very confident under their care. The surgery was quick with very little discomfort and the recovery went very well.

Dr Zimmer and his staff did an amazing job fixing my tennis elbow. My condition was caused by weightlifting and golf. Due to excessive use I could not golf any longer even after significant rest and no weight lifting. Dr Zimmer did an expert surgery and I am back to 100%.

The Doctor has repaired both my shoulders a few years apart. One was sever trauma from lifting a heavy object and the other a clean up. In both cases I was like new in no time. Recently I had carpal release and an ulnar transposition and I have my right hand back. Its been 3 weeks and I doing awsome.
Dr. Zimmer is always there if you have questions or concerns and I trust him with my health. Three seperate times Ive relied on Dr.Zimmer to get me back to normal, three times Ive benn well served.

Dr Zimmer did a wonderful job! My son broke his hand at the beginning of wrestling season his senior year. We went to a Dr. Who told us he would not be able to wrestle the rest of the season, so we got a second opinion. After a couple weeks Dr. Zimmer allowed my son to return to practice and cleared him just a few days before conference.My son managed to make it as an alternate at districts and was able to finish his wrestling season as a senior Thank you so much for giving him this opportunity

My overall experience with Dr. Zimmer and staff was fantastic. I had carpal tunnel procedure done on right hand. Four days later I was back to work. That is after being able to sleep at night and not have the severe pain from my finger tips to my elbow. Thank you Dr. Zimmer and staff!

I am now a 'member' of the Double Rotator Cuff Surgery Club...2nd one was 2 1/2 weeks ago 02.24.17!!..I am over-joyed with the outcome. Dr. Zimmer and the entire Surgical Team are professional, experts in their field and are so caring and attentive...Who could ask for more! I never had any doubts or questions as everything was made clear and" understandable" :-) Don't suffer and put things off...there is nor reason when a doctor this qualified is available. One Happy Camper!

I am beyond pleased with my carpal tunnel surgery performed by Dr. Zimmer. I had surgery on the left hand at the end of December, 2016 and the right hand surgery on January 31, 2017. The healing is so perfect you can hardly tell there was an incision. My left hand had been severe and the right moderate. I no longer have pain in my hands during the night. I recommend having surgery when your carpal tunnel is moderate and to not wait until it is severe. I highly recommend Dr. Z.

My family has been going to Dr Zimmer for several years. He is an excellant Dr who shows compassion and concern for his patients welfare. He works with you to create a plan for treatment and fully explains all options. I wouldn't trust any other Dr to take care of our family. Thank you Dr Zimmer!

Dr Zimmer replaced my Basal joint. He has corrected trigger finger and carpal tunnel. All was done with 100% success. I have zero pain in my left hand. He injects my right hand until l I'm able to have the basal joint replaced as well. I have no fear in having this surgery considering how perfect the surgery went on my left hand. I highly recommend him. He is not only a phenomenal doctor. He truly cares about his patients. And is very kind. He makes receiving painful injections , not so bad.

Cleveland, OH | Dec 18, 2016
I would strongly not recommend Dr. Zimmer. I had surgery to correct carpal tunnel. The after care was ridiculous. I previously had surgery on my other hand. The healing and pain during the recovery period was very painful. I saw the "doctor" on two occasions, complaining that I was not healing properly. He very pompously looked at my hand and said it was progressing well. Needless to say, my hand is in a worse condition than it was prior to the surgery. ??

Chagrin Falls, OH | Dec 16, 2016
He has been very good and did an excellent job with the surgery on my arm. In the office his staff are very nice. They run a tight ship and are very busy flowing patients quickly in and out. The answering service has something to be desired and the office rep in Solon seemed very disturbed I was interrupting her solitaire game on the computer, and was cold and annoyed, when I showed up for one appt. That said, the doctor is good.

Dr. Zimmer is professional and very knowledgeable. My hands are my tools and very important in my vocation as well as my hobbies. His diagnosis was thorough and accurate. He explained fully what my condition was and what needed to be done to repair it. My surgery was well done and went exactly as Dr. Zimmer had explained it. I am pleased with the care and work that I have received from Dr. Zimmer and his staff. I have recommended Dr. Zimmer and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr Z!

Doctor Zimmer was their for us during a very difficult time and I cant say enough that justifies the outstanding care and dedication during this time. Dr. Zimmer and his staff are excellent they were there to help me understand and make things easier. Amy was there for me to answer all my questions and I had a lot of them. Dr. Zimmer was so great after Ervin's surgery being there and explaining everything I needed to know. He is a great person to deal with and to have as a doctor.
