This was this first time meeting Dr Zimmerman I find him to be a very caring person to his patience needs
I chose Dr Zimmerman because his area of expertise is the shoulder & has many years of experience. Working in the hospital OR, he came recommended by my colleagues. Dr Zimmerman answered all my questions & concerns relating to my complaint. After discussing my MRI images, he offered several treatment options & follow ups. I decided to do as suggested by choosing conservative treatment & see if is effective & long term before aggressive choice. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Dr Zimmerman
Dr. Joshua Zimmerman was excellent during my surgery. He did a fantastic job at explaining everything he did and what needed to be done moving forward. He is excellent.
Dr. Zimmerman is the most amazing doctor. He did an excellent shoulder replacement on me. He took the time and had the patience and compassion with me to go over every question I asked him and he was so knowledgeable and I have really virtually nearly hardly any pain. He is just an incredible doctor and I just can't say enough good about him. And everything turned out exactly as he said and he took plenty of time to answer all my follow-up questions regarding my surgery and I have I say kudos to him and I would refer him to anybody, anytime. He's just so amazing. Thank you.
Due to how busy the Doctor was. He didn't understand what I was explaining to him. He dictated the wrong information in my notes. I had to call for them to correct the information.
