James Zimmer's Online Review Report Card

D.r Zimmer has been my family physician for over 50 years. He has always been the utmost professional and thorough doctor. His references have always been the best for any specialist doctors as well. I have referred many patients to Dr. Zimmer over the years and all have been extremely satisfied with his extraordinary practice. He cares about his patients.

Dr. Zimmer has always been the best GP around. After 25+ years, I still choose him. He is supportive and thorough and gets the job done.

Horrible staff at Dr. Zimmer's office. No one answers the phone, not very courteous, and constantly put you on hold and then randomly hang up. Not a great place to be if you're trying to get started as a new patient. Talked with Stephanie, Rosalyn and others but no real support. Very very difficult to get a hold of anyone. They take lunch from 12-2pm too.

Office practices discriminatory practices with those who are unvaccinated.

Saved my bacon many times over the years! Very thorough!

My wife and I have had several visits over many years. We find Dr. Zimmer to be as caring a doctor as any doctor could ever be. He cares, he listens, and he explains in clear language whatever needs explaining.

I've had Dr. Zimmer as my GP, gyno, and all around advisor on my health when he started working at Blossom Ridge Medical Group. He's the BEST! I try not to go to any other doctors because he knows me well and believes me when I tell him something is wrong. He doesn't argue. He just double checks my thought processes and finds I'm usually correct. He can be curt when you first meet him, but he's truly a big softy. I literally trust him with my life!

I have been seeing Dr. Zimmer for many years. He is the most concerned doctor I have ever had. He is knowledgeable and he keeps up with modern medicine. When a specialist is required, he will give me a list to choose from. He is one of the best doctors I have ever seen.

I'm reading the negative reviews and I am mystified. I've been with Zimmer for 14 years. In the 1st few years, circa 2006-2009 he had problems with an indifferent staff. The major complaint, common to most medical offices, is the delegation of filtering calls, to the uneducated/illiterate staff members. This in essence is handing someone the duties of practicing medicine w/o a license, as those staff members are making critical decisions whether to pass information up to the professional staff.Dr. Zimmer fired most of those people ~2009. Since then, albeit not perfect, I've had the least troubles communicating with Dr. Zimmer, his office, and getting timely feedback on messages.Perhaps, these negative reviews stem from the above problem. I've lived in this valley for 62 years. I have to say, I've never seen such cronyism, incompetence, and egomaniacal behaviors has most doctors in the Bay Area. Dr. Zimmer is the polar opposite, IMHO. He is one of only 2 doctors that I trust.Perhaps some of these bad reviews stem from specialist Zimmer is stuck with. And, I have seen, interviewed, and crucified so many so called specialists with the lack of knowledge in their own specialties, I have become severely depressed at the prospects of living a long life. Dr. Zimmer has few choices (read tightly controlled local associations), from whom he must select when sending a patient to such specialists. I can say, when I have reported back with direct quotes and experiences with specialists I have been sent to, Dr. Zimmer has expressed his frustration with his peers more times than I can count.

Yes, Dr. Zimmer has taken good care of me for more than twenty years. He is competent, efficient and helpful. I strongly recommend him.
