Scott M. Zimmer, MD, Ohio Hand to Shoulder Center

He has excellent bed side manner and I will only go to him for any surgery he has done a few surgeries on me and What I really like he’s not knife happy If you need surgery you get it , he doesn’t rush any of his patients to have surgery He has high standards and has a excellent reputation His staff are also very good in fact he’s is probably be doing surgery on me next years and his honesty really covers my flight up there I trust Dr Zimmer that much .

Dr. Zimmer did my shoulder surgery a year ago and I was very satisfied. I would recommend him.

Well hello to ya all!!!

Dr Zimmer did my rotator cuff approximately 12 years ago.
Everything healed well with my right shoulder and approximately 7 years ago he did my bicep repair
That has also healed well.

Now I live in Florida and I hurt my right (other) rotator cuff at my job (Hilton). So far.....what a nightmare compared to Dr Zimmer & procedure....

The accident I had was on July 4 2022 and today 8/25/22 I'm now finally going for pre-op......

I pray that the doctor workman comp assigned does a good job.

As far as Dr Scott Zimmer.

GREAT CHOICE IF YOU DECIDE TO HAVE HIM FIX YOUR ARM.

Wonderful surgeon and Doctor. Great staff as well. He is really concerned about your health.

Absolutely love Dr Zimmer and his staff. Always accommodating and attentive. He did my rotator cuff surgery a few years back and recently my wrist surgery. He listened to your concerns, always answers questions, never ever have I felt rushed at my appointments by him or his staff. They are the best and I would never go anywhere else for hand or shoulder needs.

I have been seeing Dr. Zimmer for my elbow for nearly 2 years maybe a bit more, I did end up in surgery but through the whole process (Injections, consultation, surgery) He and his PA were SO supportive. After surgery, I had some complications, probably fairly minor in the grand spectrum, I do feel the MA that had to rewrap my arm wrapped it to tight, I am also still experiencing a few issues that i have concerns about and will discuss at my next visit, if not before. Dr. Zimmer is fun, he is happy, always smiles, makes you feel comfortable and feels like an all around good person, not just a doctor and not just a surgeon. I am very unhappy he no longer takes care source though, especially with me still having issues with my post op.

I've been to Dr.zimmer 2 times. For right arm and left arm ulnar surgeries. I lost full function of my right hand over night. I went to him and after testing he explained that I might not have full function of my right hand after surgery. That was in 2010. It's now Feb. 2019 and I have 100% use of my hand still. I dont know what I would of done without having him as my surgeon. When my left ulnar starting going in 2012 he went a head and fixed it, fearing it would go quickly like my right arm did. Same as my right arm my hand it is working beautiful.
Ive never had a problem with him or his staff. Always treated me with the most respect. He always went over everything with me. I'm beyond grateful for everything he has done for me. I will continue to keep referring everyone I know to go to him. Thank you Dr. Zimmer.

Dr. Zimmer is a great doctor! Please know whether it is hand/wrist or shoulder problems, Dr. Zimmer has vast experience with treating the whole area and that includes biceps. I wouldn't trust any other doctor to give me a cortisone shot either, except Dr. Zimmer. The office is well staffed and wait times are less than for most doctors that I have ever been to. Dr. Zimmer is also proactive with making sure the patient gets the propert physical therapy and the number of "PT" visits are more than adequate I feel for helping a patient to recover if the patient sticks to the program to continue with them. I am pleased with Dr. Zimmer's care of my hand/wrist and shoulder issues and wouldn't want to lose him!

Dr. Zimmer is one of the kindest doctors I have ever been too. He always explains in great detail what your injury entails and how he plans on treating it and what could happen down the road if the current treatment does not fix the problem. One of my favorite doctors!

Six years ago I had a rotator cuff repair attempted that did not work. I came to Dr Zimmer who explained that I needed a complete reverse shoulder replacement. On January 23, 2018 Dr Zimmer performed this surgery on me. I have had no pain and my recovery was so amazing that I did not even have to do physical therapy. Thank you Dr Zimmer

Dr zimmer is treating me for my hand great doctor very kind and understanding looking forward to him fixing me.

Does great work .highly recommend

Fun, fast, painless. Going back for more

I was not impressed . He didn’t even take the time to look at my hand . Or give me any advice on how to help the pain or anything he just said we need to see you back in 3 weeks and to get my fingers moving. I don’t think I will be going back

UPDATE: After I left this post, Dr. Zimmer's office called to apologize. Dr Zimmer personally called me and I was able to ask my questions and he explained in detail the things I needed to know about my condition. While the initial visit left something to be desired, I am happy that they were responsive to my negative feedback.

Overall, I believe Dr. Zimmer is very knowledgeable and personable. He's also mindful of not pushing unnecessary and costly treatments. I would recommend him to others.

I have never been rushed through an appointment so quickly in my life. The woman who came in to take my information stood with her back to me the entire time. She asked me questions (back turned) and barely let me respond before she asked the next question.

When Dr. Zimmer came in he did an exam that lasted less than 5 minutes, spoke so fast I couldn't keep up, told THE TYPIST the tests I would get and then left. I had questions and there wasn't even time for me to ask them because he was gone before I had the chance.

10 minutes later a nurse came in to hand me papers to get tests done and I didn't know where to go. I tried to tell her I was feeling very overwhelmed and she talked over me to tell me where to go.

This is not the kind of experience you expect when going to a doctor. This doctor and his staff lacked basic compassion. I wanted to feel cared for. Instead I felt like I was the dummy during a timed test.

I went to the Geauga location. Don't know if the other ones are any better.
