Dr Zimmel is fantastic. As a new patient who was experiencing right heel pain and left toe pain, I was very worried about my first visit. The office staff put me at ease right away, taking a detailed history and xrays. Dr Zimmel took lots of time explaining the xrays, the anatomy of my feet, the issues and the best course of treatment. I loved that he took so much time explaining what is causing my heel pain, and what he recommends as my treatment plan. He conservative approach to my issues really made me happy. Excellent doctor and staff.

I started having severe pain in my heel/arch and made an appointment after a friend spoke highly of Dr. Zimmel. I was a few minutes late but the staff was super friendly and paperwork/initial X-ray was a breeze.
Dr. Zimmel was super knowledgeable, nice to speak with and I felt totally at ease. Did a thorough examination and even temporarily padded my feet so it wouldn't hurt while walking. Super impressed with this experience.
I'm looking forward to meeting him again next week but hopefully I won't have to meet him too often and go back to playing soccer!
