FEATURED DOCTOR | Excellent. I entered in severe left shoulder pain. Dr. Zimmerman took the time to assess the situation and offered options carefully. I chose to have a cortisone shot in the shoulder which was hugely helpful in reducing the pain in that area. I was very pleased with Dr. Zimmerman, and I hope to continue to see him for orthopaedic issues. Ron G.
