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.

I highly recommend the Zimmerman Center!!! Not just is he amazing at what he does, but the entire staff are so sweet and helpful they didn't treat me like just another patient but like someone they knew. Dr Zimmerman himself is very very good at what he does. He has a great personality and is extremely knowledgeable. I never felt pressured like some of the other doctors that I had consults with. He's very informative we went over all my options I told him what I wanted and that's what he did and I couldn't be happier without come. I told him I was going to end up going to jail for indecent exposure because I want to show everybody his work. Lol. Thank you again to Dr Zimmerman and his amazing stuff.

Poor technique, all talk and no skill
I was a patient of Dr Zimmerman years ago. I ended up getting a breast augmentation and then immediately removing it. My biggest issue with his work was the incredibly low technique in the insertion of the implant (below breast) and the awful scars I was left with. My general practitioner doctor told me even he could have done a better job with the scarring vs the work that Zimmerman, a supposed plastic surgeon, did. It looked like a ham handed job. Also the implants were incredibly hard and my muscle area to this day is still funky and a little loose. I would not recommend.

SUPER AMAZING job on my tummy tuck!
I cannot say enough about Dr. Zimmerman. I was a unique case of have a fake plastic surgeon botch my tummy tuck that got his medical license revoked. I have had a bad doctor to compare and this was a night and difference with patient care, proper garments, beautiful incisions, less pain and very professional. I showed it to other doctors and they were amazed how good it looks too. His staff is really kind and you are treated with dignity. LOVE LOVE THIS PRACTICE. I will be a returning client for other procedures too.

Wonderful care from a caring professional physician. He listened to my concerns, acknowledged that I was super nervous, took the time to explain my options and allowed me to make my own decisions. Wish I would have done this 10 years ago. Don’t wait-just schedule a consultation with him…you won’t regret it!

It took me a long time to work up the courage to pursue a tummy tuck, but I am so glad that I did it. And I am so grateful that I came to Dr. Zimmerman. The doctor and his staff were courteous and transparent about the procedure and associated costs. When I inquired about additional procedures, I was given honest answers and was never ‘upsold’ or made to feel that I needed more work done. They took care of everything, so I didn’t have to worry about anything but recovery. Thanks to a skillful, knowledgeable surgeon, I have my figure back 26 years after having my first child. It’s a miracle!

I had implants 20 years ago by another Dr. They ruptured and we're leaking. Dr. Zimmerman removed and replaced the implants. I had a lift and reduction also. The implants are high quality and the best on the market. I'm very happy with the way they look and feel. I highly recommend if you have implants make sure they are intact. If you need to have them replace I recommend Dr. Zimmerman.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Dr Z. Is absolutely amazing. Without disclosing too much, let's just say he did some major corrective/replacement magic! I received many personal recommendations on Dr. Z, and now know first hand why he is considered the best at what he does. Courteous, honest, easy to talk to. I absolutely am in love with my results. Super sweet staff who effectively communicate

Dr Zimmerman and his entire staff are absolutely phenomenal! He spent an hour with me at my consultation and pre-op appointments and made sure all my questions were answered. He has a terrific bedside manner and genuinely cares about your happiness with the outcome... which, by the way, I am THRILLED with!! I had a minor complication and was SO impressed with the way and speed at which he got me back in, and fixed up. The complication was absolutely not due to anything HE did, but it was obvious he felt bad and he personally called me after the procedure to fix the issue, and had me do multiple follow ups to be 100% sure everything was good. He thoroughly explains what to expect throughout the entire process as well as what to do and not do, so I would guess the few reviewers who weren’t satisfied likely didn’t listen and/or follow his very clear instructions. Thank you, Dr Zimmerman for the “upgrades” and thank you to the wonderful ladies up front, and to the OR team!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Zimmerman to my friends. In fact I already have done so. I had Tummy Tick with lipo on the hips. I could not be happier with the results. The doctor is very professional and answered all of my questions. I understood everything fully and I was very comfortable asking about the embarrassing bits. My results are as good or better than I had hoped. The staff is professional and friendly. I give them Five stars plus a heart.

I have written other reviews and I just want to say be careful and do your homework before you go to this Dr. I don't feel he stands behind his work and I wake up everyday uphappy about my surgery. I wish now I would have never gone to this doctor. I was charged over 9k for my augmentation and he wanted to charge me another 8K plus to fix it. I just would not trust going back to him to fix his mistakes.
