Richard Zimmerman was an excellent physician. He listened to me during my appointment and made many helpful recommendations. He made a plan for managing my pain and encouraged me to reach out anytime with questions or concerns moving forward. He genuinely seems like he cares about his patients and did not rush my appointment, ensuring all my questions were answered. I cannot recommend him enough and will be seeing him for all my future medical needs.
