5.0 star star star star starI found Dr. Zimmerman to be very engaging and interested. She took time to listen and answer my questions. She followed up with my blood test results and noticed and addressed things that others had missed or ignored. I came to her as a result of my former internist retirement and I’m glad I did.

5.0 star star star star starI really appreciate that doctor Zimmerman always takes the time to listen and ask questions. I’ve been dealing with my blood sugar levels and she has given me tools to keep motivating myself (referred to nutritionist and provided dietary suggestions) even though our meeting is brief. She suggested I record a message to myself as a motivation to continue my healthy habits.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Zimmerman is a caring physician and explains every question I have thoroughly. I am a bit nervous about taking medication and Dr. Z helps me understand why it is important to prevent anything serious happening to me in the future. I really appreciate her taking the time to explain things and providing me with information.
Disclosures

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
