Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Disrespectful and Dismissive Care
I saw Dr. Zimmerman 5 times in 2019, and the physician came across as unprofessional, condescending and impatient. She frequently interrupted and spoke over me, and one occasion talked at length about her own teenage child that was unrelated to my own care plan. Eczema & problem skin were attributed to “lack of control,” rather than discussed as medical condition & symptoms requiring treatment. A requested prescription was refused during a visit, yet the clinic contacted me days later stating the same medication was available (demonstrating Dr. Zimmerman’s lack of communication).In contrast, I’ve seen 2 other physicians at Columbia Skin Clinic—and both have been exceptional. While the Columbia Skin Clinic as a whole has some outstanding practitioners, I cannot recommend Dr. Zimmerman.

I have very little waiting time for my appointment. Dr. Zimmerman always listens to my skin issues and I never feel she is rushing me to go to her next patient. She is very careful her examination of my skin. She is always upbeat & positive.

Annual check for 2021. First time visit was in 2020. Had concern with change in small growth in December 2020. Called and received appointment right away. Today and all previous have been on time. All personnel were friendly and helpful. Dr. Zimmerman was friendly and answered all questions and the examination was thorough.

Dr. Greta Zimmerman has been my dermatologist for a very long time - possibly 20 years. She is not only technically talented but has the best bedside manner. If you all do not go for yearly skin checks please do. Our skin is our largest organ so be good to it and go to the best dermatologist in Columbia. She will help you take care of your skin and if you have a booboo she can fix that too or recommend you. Highly recommend!
