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.

Greatest doctor that i've ever known.

Doctor z was the best doctor I have ever had. And the federal government couldn't stand it because they wanted their cut. Doctor z wouldn't let them. The US government is a piece of s*** organization. And needs to be shut down.

I had an appointment for a RFA proceedure on my spine, was given and took Valium, was "prepped", laying facedown in a gown, and waited...and waited...and waited, only to be told 45 minutes later that his staff had "got ahold of Dr. Z. (at 10:45 am!) but that he is sick at home and won't be in today". At 10:45 he hadn't shown up for work and hadn't contacted his staff. Really? This after leading me into a 6 figure debt to his office by telling me he was writing it off...until he decided not to.

I have had numerous pain management doctors over the years, and Zipperer Medical Group is by far the best I have had. Instead of throwing pills at a problem and not trying to fight the source, the focus at ZMG is finding and directly targeting the source of pain and controlled supervision of pain medication if necessary. I would recommend anyone who has chronic pain to this clinic. It is often difficult to find a good pain management doctor and I am relieved to have such great service available

He tells you one thing. Then lies about telling you to do it. He try's to coerce you into something You cannot do. Says he's pain management but only does that one way

Thank u so much for all u have done for me. Dr. Zipperer is the most compassionate Dr. I have ever seen over the past 25 years or so . I appreciate u taking time to actually listen to me and treat the problem not just medicate. However knowing recovering addicts have real pain issues also, not just looking for a fast medicate.but being ok with medicate under supervision while treating the pain issues!
