Dr. Zimmerman (Dr. Z as we've come to know him) has been an absolute blessing. My daughter suffered a volleyball injury with torn ligaments and a small bone fragment, and his team got us in quickly to start her healing. Even when her pain and swelling returned, Dr. Z personally made sure we were seen promptly before an important tournament. His care, dedication, and personal attention went above and beyond. We highly recommend him!

I brought my two year-old to see Dr. Zimmerman after fracturing his leg, he came in early to squeeze us in his schedule which I am so grateful for. He is kind, gentle, very patient with children, but most importantly very knowledgeable. He, as well as his office staff are friendly and very thorough. I am so thankful to Dr. Zimmerman and his office, and will be recommending them to everyone.

Dr. Hento performed surgery on my Achilles and my recovery has been swift and relatively pain free. I really like Dr. Hento's professionalism and watching her at the Millenium Surgery Center showed me other medical professionals really like her. Gives one confidence in her abilities.

Best practice! Dr. Zimmermann and Dr. Hento are incredibly wonderful. They make this difficult experience for my young son much better with their expertise and friendly demeanor. Dr. Zimmermann is a pillar in this community and deserves recognition! He has developed many quality service practices and other ventures that have served this community. We love you guys!
Thank you, Dr. Zimmerman, Foot and Ankle Institute
I wanted to update after seeing the other reviews. Dr. Z deserves 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️in my family’s opinion and experience.
These visits I’m speaking of were for periods of time during 2025 to current 2026. We are so happy we were referred here. I’m not sure why all the opposite of excellent reviews but in my case/experience it’s hard to fathom.
