  • Dr. Zimmerman is very friendly and especially very good with kids. She talks to them at their level so they can be able to express themselves and she's very nice to them. So they're able to talk to her and she asks questions and she also asks them if they have any questions. She's extremely good with kids and we've been seeing her for almost seven years now and she's awesome. Thank you.

  • She's very good at interacting with infants. Even when she needed to wear a mask, she was still able to calm my child and interact with her in a positive manner that kept her calm. This is, of course, in addition to her excellent bedside care.

  • This is one of the fantastic, excellent care providers. Not only me, my wife, myself, my daughter and my son, I've been going there. Both kids, like ever since they are born, they are with this facility. And I am here from past 10 years, same is with my wife. It is an excellent, excellent facility. We would like to continue and we would like to recommend this facility for others too.
