Dr. Zimm was very thorough and listened to my problems and asked further questions regarding my history. He was thoughtful and courteous throughout the whole process. He even suggested additional solutions that would be helpful to me before surgery. I respected his candor and professionalism. He really knows his field of expertise.

Dr. Zimm is a phenomenal doctor! I only wish I had found him sooner. For years, I've been suffering from frequent sinus infections that turned into chronic sinusitis this time around. That's what happens when doctors dismiss your symptoms and tell you to "let it run its course." Dr. Zimm was the first person to actually listen to what I had to say and treat me based not only on his expertise, but what I had shared with him. I can't say enough great things about him.

All I can say is if my son who is a medical student becomes half as good as Dr. Zimm is I will be very happy and proud of him. Best doctor ever.
Verified patient
I have been to many, many doctors in my life and have never been treated with such warmth and professionalism from both Dr. Zimm and his staff. I was seen immediately and my surgical procedure was painless and quick. Dr. Zimm and his staff called me several times post-surgery to see how I was doing and to see if I needed anything. I wouldn't hesitate to send my mother or kids to see Dr. Zimm.
Verified patient
The Best most friendly service every single time. Great staff and Dr. Zimm is very attentive and thorough. Answers all your questions and concerns you may have. Makes you feel very comfortable and that he has your best interest at hand.
Verified patient
Dr. Zimm and his office staff were extremely professional from booking the appointments down to his warm bedside manner. He pays attention to detail and takes his time as he is a true perfectionist! I truly recommend him for any facial reconstructive surgery. I had rhinoplasty done in April of this year and have nothing but wonderful things to say! He is absolutely the best!!
Verified patient
I love Dr Zimm. State of the art, geeked out, precise and artful surgeon. Also kind, clear, and has all the time in the world for patients. Six stars.
Verified patient
I ?? Dr Zimm. From the moment you enter his practice, you are welcomed by the most delightful, professional assistant Jennifer. The lovely Evita is a wonderful compliment to Dr Zimm as he meticulously and patiently helps you decide what's right for you. Results are always natural and perfect and his manner is gentle and impeccable. I highly recommend him and will continue to visit him. As further testament to his skill, I should say that I travel from my home in Belgium all the way to NYC specifically to see him. Thanks Dr. Zimm... you're the best.
Verified patient
Dr Zimm is by far the best ENT I have seen in NYC! He is polite, patient and thorough. I was referred to him after my prior ENT wanted to perform a septum surgery based on CAT scan results. I was hesitant because my sinuses and septum have been previously operated on, so I got a second opinion. Dr Zimm requested the actual CAT scan images as opposed to relying on the radiology report, which he reviewed *with me* on his computer screen. My septum was in fact fine and the radiology report had a mistake/gross over-read. I have seen Dr Zimm for many check-ups since my initial appointment, but felt like it was a good story to highlight one of the things that makes him great.
Verified patient
I highly recommend Dr. Zimm! I have made multiple appointments, for different procedures and leave satisfied every time. I work in the medical profession and can say, without hesitation, that Dr. Zimm has the perfect combination of medical expertise and bedside manner. He takes his time, listens to what is important to you and informs of what your options are. An appointment at the Zimm office is like visiting good friends that care about you and leave you looking your best! I recommended Dr. Zimm to my friend of twenty eight years and she left just as happy with her results. If you are considering rhinoplasty, Botox or fillers, do yourself the favor of visiting Dr. Zimm.
Dr Joshua Zimm has been our family's ENT for more than a decade. He is always courteous, professional, and a superb diagnostician and physician. Whether it is a sinus infection, ear problem, throat disorder or anything else, he always gives us a full check up, gets to the root of the issue, and treats it until it is completely healed. We highly recommend Dr Zimm. He's the absolute best! Ben K, Katherine K and Michelle K
Verified patient
Dr. Zimm is amazing! He is very calm and compassionate. He thoroughly answered all of my questions on medical and cosmetic issues. I never felt rushed. His office is very clean and organized. Staff are friendly. My overall experience was excellent. I would proudly recommend Dr. Zimm to all my family and friends.
Verified patient
I almost didn't want to write this review, because I wanted to keep this office a "hidden gem" I've been self conscious of my double chin my entire life. I have tried dieting and exercising, however nothing seems to get rid of it. Feeling desperate, I finally went to see a Plastic Surgeon. I am SO glad I chose Dr. Zimm. Not only was he professional but he was kind and took the time to answer all of my questions. Dr. Zimm suggested I get both Botox (to get rid of those annoying number 11's!) and Kybella - for my turkey neck. Both were injections. Dr. Zimm was very gentle and I would no doubt recommend him to anyone!! I am looking forward to going back to his office for my future Botox and Kybella treatments.
Meticulous doctor! I unfortunately decided against surgery but highly recommend him. Front office in need of an attitude adjustment and more diplomacy skills.
Verified patient
Awesome experience. Fast, efficient, fixed my broken face with no problems. The staff at the front desk we very helpful and professional - the best I have had as far as doc offices go. What more can you ask for?
Verified patient
You won't find any better than Doctor Zimm. He treats the whole patient and always delivers the finest care. He is both a top notch scientist and wonderful human being. His office coordinators Jennifer and Evita make you feel like a special guest from making the appointment to greeting you for the office visit to scheduling your follow-up.
Verified patient
4 years ago, I made an appointment with Dr. Zimm because I was having trouble breathing through my nose. I immediately told Dr. Zimm that I wanted to get surgery to fix my deviated septum. Initially, he wanted to try alternatives as in nasal drops to open up the passage ways, breathing techniques and other "non-surgical" approaches to help me breathe better. I needed to do the surgery and I couldn't be more happy with not only the results, but my entire experience with him and his office staff. Once I decided to go forward with the surgery, I also decided to make some cosmetic changes as well. I researched other doctors and had various consultations. I even went to one of my student's father who is a plastic surgeon. He gave me a great price and I knew I would be in good hands but ultimately, I felt the most comfortable with Dr. Zimm and booked my surgery. Any questions or concerns regarding my surgery was answered either by phone or in his office. I brought in about 10 photos of what I wanted my nose to look like and Dr. Zimm took the initial photographs of my nose and began to show me via the computer what the final result would look like. He did an amazing job, a real professional and someone you can talk to. I followed Dr. Zimm's post-surgery instructions and I did not experience any pain or discomfort. Fast forward to a year and a half later...my nose looks GREAT, I feel extremely confident and my breathing couldn't be better...not to mention, I don't snore anymore at night! "We want what we can't have", but after Dr. Zimm's work, I got exactly what I wanted plus!
Verified patient
Highly experienced and effective.
I've been seeing Dr. Zimm for about 8 years now. I see him for sinus issues. He's done two surgeries on me and is absolutely wonderful. He's got a great bedside manner, is easy to talk to, easy to get an appointment with and all around great. I would never see another ENT as long as he's in practice. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
Excellent Doctor, Staff, and Services. Questions were patiently answered and responses were informative. Professional manner and patient centric approach. Very satisfied with procedure; felt very comfortable and safe. Highly recommended !
Verified patient
Dr. Zimm is the best, hands down. I am writing this review literally the minute I got home. I had to take a 2-hour train ride to see him but judging by the results and my overall experience in his office, it is well worth the extra miles. I have lost a significant amount of volume in my mid-face areas due to sudden weight loss. I looked hollowed, gaunt, old and overworked. The most annoying part was the depression of the tear troughs which caused dark-circle-like long shadows further down my cheeks. After the filler was injected, I looked at least 5 years younger instantly. The result is so much better than I had expected. The doctor listens to what I say and exercises his judicious and aesthetic judgement to achieve my goals. He even talked me out of unnecessary procedures and made me feel he truly cares and acts in my best interests. The pain was pretty manageable and he has very gentle hands. I immediately knew right after the procedure, that I was going to book him for the Rhinoplasty I've wanted and dreaded so much for such a long time!
I was thinking of this procedure for a long time and when I received Dr. Zimm's name from another trusted surgeon who had performed a medical procedure for me that was necessary, I called his office and I knew immediately that this was going to become a reality. Where do you start?? He is accommodating, kind, compassionate, gifted, listens to your opinion, and many more fine attributes. His staff is over the top. But like they say, the good things go from the top down. I had no fear at all. I just knew. I have already recommended Dr. Zimm to several friends,
Verified patient
Excellent attention, nice office, the ladies at the front desk, the nurse and the Doctor all gave my daughter and I a cordial visit. Thank you.
Verified patient
I went with a nose and throat concern. Dr Zimm was very personable and made sure to explain everything before or as he was conducting analysis. When he concluded what was causing the issues he made sure to thoroughly explain what caused it and how to treat and prevent.
Dr. Zimm is very honest when it comes to what you need (or don't need) done. He spends time with you discussing options and I always feel I leave the office looking good and not fake.
He was professional and capable
Verified patient

The office staff was very friendly and nice. Dr. Zimm also was very thorough and I intend to follow up with him. I will get a second opinion only because my issue is not his specialty.
It feel like I am in a good hands....
Verified patient
Dr. Zimm was great. He did an excellent job of explaining the procedure that was to be done and all the post-operation care. He asked multiple time if my partner or I had any additional questions. I felt very comfortable and not rushed. Additionally, his receptionist Jennifer was very organized and thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Zimm
