Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

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

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

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

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

Been going to Gail for years ... she's very professional and always does a thorough holistic examination to determine what's best .. she is is never rushed and always busy .. great staff esp. Mico and Carolyn!

Dr Zimmerman spent close to 2 hours on our initial visit. She went over my records received from the office of my recently deceased primary care physician of many years. Dr Z answered all my questions and made several reasonable suggestions for subsequent testing. Office staff was efficient, helpful and polite.

My husband has cardiovascular disease. When we moved to the area several years ago, we had concerns about changing doctors. We were grateful to find Dr. Zimmerman. She is not only an excellent internist but also a skilled diagnostician. Knowing she responds to our calls, even during off hours, gives us peace of mind. We’re also grateful to Michele, the office manager. My husband has a fear of needles, and when he goes into the office for his lab work, Michele makes him feel as comfortable as possible. We highly recommend Dr. Zimmerman’s practice. No matter the illness, our family is pleased with her care.

After a terrible experience at the CVS Minute Clinic, Dr Zimmerman not only made time for my daughter, she was knowledgeable, thorough and caring. July 3rd is a hard time to find a last minute doctor especially when you are visiting from out of state. Dr Zimmerman took a urine sample and drew blood in her office and saved us a trip to the Emergency room! We highly recommend her!!

This review of Dr. Zimmerman is way overdue. I've been going to her for a little over a year now. She has a great deal more knowledge than other Internists I've seen over the last 30 years. I'm not a big "Dr" person and only go when I can't solve something myself. Most Internists just follow some standard procedure with every patient they see. Dr.Zimmerman takes the time to listen to what is going on and does not shy away from diagnosing issues on an individual basis which sets her apart from the rest. I know this sounds like a paid endorsement, it's not, she really is that good. In my experience, The office staff is friendly and great to deal with.

Don't b fooled by Dr. Zimmerman! Ur 1st visit she plays the role of a caring & concerned Dr, spends much time listening, but u will see the true Dr after that, all about $, her 1-girl office staff is in another world, lies about calls. I have undiagnosed issue(s) she said we would find out. Dr kept saying to come in for for tests, show up & no tests get done, then forgets everything, more appts with nothing. Her website makes her look like the best, yet she was the biggest disappointment. BEWARE
