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.

I met with this doctor in 2023 during a very difficult and challenging time in my life and had severe chemical poisoning. I told her my full history and background of how I got there. She put me on a binder to detox which was way too intense for me during that time. I could not handle the binder and had to stop taking it. I had to stop the treatment and she was not able to offer anything else. This was a waste of my time and money and was pointless. I know a lot about holistic health and natural medicine and looking back at that time in my life and healing process, that was WAY too soon to be put on a binder especially without even seeing me in person as we did a phone visit. She was happy to take my money for the appointment but it was a waste. Do not recommend. In fact, I recommend a much more gentle approach.

Nothing is more precious than health, and finding a very good doctor to take care of your health is so rare like winning the lottery. Dr. Zimmerman is this winning lottery ticket. She is la 'crème de la crème' in the medical community. She is an unrivaled class by herself. Over 76 years of my life I met many doctors. Some are good, but in the end you get your 10 to 20 minutes interrupted by phone calls and nurses. Then the pressure is so great to admit the next patient. This is a totally different experience. She is very thorough, caring, helpful, and extremely organized. Top that with an excellent support staff that bends backward to help the patient.I am truly impressed with the benefit I got. I feel safe as I have an encyclopedic source of medicine to rely on anytime. Most important 'is my health, my life. If I am to choose between winning the lottery or winning good health, I will choose the latter with no hesitation. Dr. Zimmerman is a unique practitioner of functional medicine

I have been lucky to have always found the best physicians even integrative and functional medicine medical doctors. However after being fortunate enough to have found Dr. Pearl Zimmerman, I just felt my responsibility to write about her. Not only is she a genuinely and compassionately caring professional, she is one of the most competent, if not THE most competent physician I have known. Without going into the details of my particular case, I’ll just say that for almost ten years I presented a puzzling medical problem to some of the most qualified physicians I’ve known and truly respected. As accomplished and knowledgeable as they were, they were unfortunately flabbergasted by my problem, albeit with total empathy. Then a few months ago, I decided, I should ask Dr. Zimmerman, whom I was seeing for the first time. She immediately suspected something genetic and suggested genetic testing to confirm her suspicion before any treatment. Sure enough, she had hit the nail right on the head.
