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.

Dr. Zimmerman is the best. He is straight forward and knows his job very well. I have been to so many dermatologists for my skin and none of them could figure out what was the problem. I have been seeing Dr. Zimmerman for a few months now and I have smoother more beautiful skin. I have not seen my face this clear in over 20 years. I highly recommend him.

Very efficient doctor visit
This was one of the most efficient and proficient doctor visits I have ever had. This Walnut Creek office is well-organized, making for a quick, easy and pleasant visit. Dr. Zimmerman was great and explained everything he was doing. (I am an engineer and like to know the details.)
