Thorough Evaluation and Management
Cutting edge diagnostics
We understand that the little details matter when it comes to your health, and our “no stone-unturned” approach to diagnosis allows us to provide patients with the best treatment options available. Through the innovative use of technology, open communication, and hands-on medical expertise, our practice has served as a model for primary care providers across the region.
Short wait times
Comprehensive visits
It makes a difference to us whether the wait time for your visit is 5 minutes or 45. We know how inconvenient it is to make an appointment just to ask your doctor a simple question. Most of all, it’s clear to us that caring for a patient takes time, and that 7-10 minutes per appointment with your physician just isn’t enough. This is where concierge medicine makes the difference.
Convenience
Quality care
The Zimmer Concierge Medical Membership is redefining quality care to reflect what matters to our patients: ready access to physicians and staff, convenient and easy scheduling, and a doctor who understands the nuances of your particular health situation. We are able to do this because our membership is limited, which ensures you’re receiving the individualized attention you deserve.

Why Choose Us?
We guarantee timely and personalized healthcare
As primary care physicians, a significant part of our time is spent on preventive care. This means we focus on keeping you healthy, instead of waiting until you’re sick to provide treatment. The best preventive care occurs when a doctor understands all the factors of a patient’s health situation.
By joining the Zimmer Concierge Medical Membership program, you gain access to extended appointments for routine physical exams. These longer sessions allow you and your doctor more time to review your medical history, family background, and current concerns. We’re also able to learn more about your overall well-being, including emotional factors, which can play an important role in keeping you healthy.
We pride ourselves on the continuity of care we offer patients, and include recommendations for preventive testing, labs, and disease screening when needed as part of all our physical exams. To streamline your visits, we provide the following services on-site at our office:
- Routine gynecologic care, including PAP tests and breast exams
- DEXA- or osteoporosis scanning to screen for osteoporosis or bone demineralization
- Pulmonary function testing
- Blood draws for routine laboratory testing*
*Actual laboratory testing takes place off-site. Patient insurance may require use of a different laboratory facility.
For medical concerns that extend beyond the realm of Internal Medicine, we have two specialists on staff available for consultation. This allows us to seamlessly integrate your care and reduces your need for additional appointments, consults, and office visits.
