“I have found Dr. Zimmerman to be a very thorough and conscientious doctor. I can say the same about his staff, particularly Kaleigh. Time was of the essence with my injuries, and a plan was made and implemented to get me into surgery very quickly. I have been utterly pleased with the results of the operation on my knees. I also very much appreciated receiving a letter from Dr. Zimmerman thanking me for being one of his patients.”

My experience with Dr. Zimmerman has been wholly positive. He listens, he explains, he treats me as a person. I trust him. He is personable, knowledgeable, and caring. Thank you, Dr. Zimmerman!”

“I went in because of a pain in my left Achilles. I had been suffering from this pretty severely for about seven weeks. Dr. Zimmerman looks at it and had an x-ray taken of it. After viewing the X-ray and going by the description of the pain that I was in he came up with the diagnosis of Achilles tendonitis, he gave me some stretches to go along with ice massaging and told me to take anti-inflammatories. I iced for about a week, and I've been stretching it for several weeks now taking the anti-inflammatories that he recommended. It is not 100%, but it is almost there. I wish I had gone to see him sooner, waiting seven weeks was foolish on my part but he did a great job and if I'm ever in pain again he is the man I'm going back to see.”

“This was my first appointment at the Bone and Joint Center and I don’t think I’ve ever had an appointment go so smoothly. The check in was quick and easy and I went right in for my appointment and there was really never any down time. Dr. Zimmerman described my symptoms, I went right in for x-rays, came right back and he had already read them and told me what was wrong and gave me some options. We formulated a plan and moved forward with it. I can’t say enough good stuff about them!”
