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.

Great Doctor! Very Detailed and Compassionate.
Dr. Zimilevich always takes great care in reviewing all test results with me, assuring I understand what I need to do better for my health. She makes me feel as though she truly cares about me! Thank you Dr Z

I went in February 2019 for a routine physical. I found her to be extremely rude and judgmental and she made comments about my life that were not relevant to any medical concerns. She wanted me to come back in person for blood test results. I refused to come back because of my negative experience and they wouldn't tell me over the phone. 3 months later I got sick with hepatitis. I finally got my blood test results from last year and it already showed signs of liver issues which they refused to tell me at the time. I had a horrible experience here and do not recommend it.

Worst doctor I have ever seen. Takes too long with repetitive questions. Does not check your blood report or give you a call back when you are in desperate need. She is irresponsible and not worthy to be in this profession. This person does not deserve to be a doctor. She is Inhumane. Only cares about the money.

How can you refuse to see patients in these times? Is it even legal? I was told to go to urgent care or the hospital without them even assessing me. Horrible. If you are my personal physician how can you refuse service. Never going back there.

I called to get an appointment because I was not feeling well. Suffer with tonsils. The secretary told me no that I should go to the emergency room. I explained this was an ongoing issue and she still refused to give me an appointment. She said I should go to urgent care. I have been going to this doctor for years and I understand the crisis we are in now but you are a medical practice. Why are open if you refuse to treat or assess certain patients. Is this even legal? Will not be returning here.

Dr. Zimilevich is an okay doctor. Not for me. She takes WAY too long with her patients. I’ve spent over an hour with her in the exam room which I felt was extremely unnecessary. She lacks bed side manors. The receptionist is extremely nasty over the phone. She made me feel like making an appointment was an issue for her. Will not be coming back.

Dr zimilevich is a good doctor, she needs better staff. Her assistant is a body guard. If she is having a bad day she will take it out on the paitent. So I no longer go to this office. Also they said they accepted my insurance yet gave me a ton of problems with the billing. It's not worth the headache.
