“Dr. Zimmerman is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most thorough chiropractor I've ever been to. I had a rough experience with another chiropractor I'd been going to awhile that messed up something in my neck, and Dr. Z. and I are still working those issues out now after a few visits, but I've never met someone so thorough in their work. Matt is just a very pleasant person to spend 45 minutes to an hour with. It's really comforting to meet someone who cares so deeply about their patients and spends so much time getting to know them. I chose him based off the reviews here on ZocDoc and I have to say, I'm so happy I did; I'm very much looking forward to my continued visits with him and getting all these issues worked out. If you're on the hunt for a new chiropractor and scrolling these reviews like I did, I highly recommend giving Dr. Zimmerman a shot before going to anyone else. ”

Good visit. Doesn't accept my insurance despite claiming to accept it in-network on ZocDoc. Submitted insurance in advance, no prior phone call or any acknowledgement of insurance issue until post visit

Make sure you double check insurance as he didn't take mine (even though said yes on Zocdoc) and had to pay out of pocket. He did feel bad about this and did not charge me full price however a call prior would have been more beneficial. As much I enjoyed learning about my posture, stance, and issues - I go to physical therapy to learn that and was not expecting it in this appointment. I was really looking for a quick realignment during my lunch hour as my shoulder has hurting and instead I got an educational course that took the full hour. To each their own.

He’s the guy for body sores, breathing lessons, and overall healing. Definitely a man who’s main mission is to educate and heal every part of you.

I went in with a severe pain in my neck and could barely turn my head. Within 2 days was able to feel almost 100% and learned was to prevent this from happening again. I would recommend Dr. Zimmerman to any of my colleagues or friends in need of a chiropractor.
December 12, 2018Lindsay O.Verified patient
Squeezed me in at the last minute for a shoulder issue and could not have been nicer. He was so thorough and so knowledgeable. I also learned how to breathe (as someone else mentioned) and probably know more about human anatomy now than I did after studying it in AP Bio. I really want to stress how excellent he is.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
Matt took his time to understand the mobility constrains i was experiencing. This is NOT one of those BS chiro's that put you on a TEMs machine for 20m and then the standard neck and back adjustment.
The level of thoughtful care he provided left me feeling like a professional athlete. The full hour was manual therapy and joint manipulation. It was an interactive session that required my full attention and participation. He walked me through each step of the process and drastically changed my posture in just one session. i can't wait to see what he can do in 10 sessions.
I plan to see him 2x week for the foreseeable future or as long as insurance will cover =)
5 stars for Matt.
June 4, 2018Jason S.Verified patient
My experience has been great. I've only had a few sessions and from my first visit, I immediately felt better afterwards. I am continuing to go and am experiencing continued improvement.
His explanations, advice, and treatments have helped make me more conscious of the habits that cause various musculoskeletal issues that lead to problems and discomfort. In turn, the sessions helped alleviate problems by rectifying more systematic issues that result from daily habits (work position, breathing methods, etc.) which affect certain areas.
Also, he's simply a great person with whom to discuss these issues. He listens, and explains why things are occurring and instructs on strategies to help improve habits with the goal of avoiding future issues while making me feel totally comfortable and at-ease during our sessions.
May 18, 2018Jorge S.Verified patient
Explained my diagnosis in detail, helped me work out knee and shoulder issues. Great techniques and understands body mechanics very well
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Good with working in sessions and providing guidance on how to help yourself outside of a session. It's all about movement, position, and breathing.

This was my first trip to a Chiropractor so I wasn't sure what to expect. In just a few visits, Matthew was able to help me out with a shoulder/upper back issue that was bothering me for several months and the pain is completely gone now. I highly recommend him!
November 6, 2017Jeremy M.Verified patient
He gave me an in-depth explanation on the muscles surrounding my neck and shoulders to address the possible reasons for my pain. He was very friendly and I felt very comfortable throughout the process. I highly recommend this chiropractor.
October 24, 2017Danbee P.Verified patient
Dr Zimmerman is a very personable and approachable person, and listens to the concerns that you have. He spends dedicated time addressing the issues and giving a plan of action to alleviate things longer term. I'm happy that I have him helping me be more mobile.
September 6, 2017Christine J.Verified patient
Matt was great to work with. Came in with a back issue and not only did he help expedite the recovery process but provided education on what adjustments to make to avoid reinjury.
July 24, 2017Sean H.Verified patient
Matthew is extremely personable and knowledgeable about his field. He provides a great balance of professionalism and personable experience. He makes you feel very comfortable and gives sound advice on how to improve your ailment.
June 26, 2017John C.Verified patient
So helpful! He's been great in aiding my wrist and knees back to 100% as well as giving me great tools to improve my core strength.
June 5, 2017Jessica J.Verified patient
I would highly recommend Dr. Zimmerman to any potential patient suffering with any muscular or joint pain. He is incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and patient. I already feel significant improvements even after my first appointment.
June 6, 2017Liza H.Verified patient
Dr Zimmerman is amazing! I came in for back pains although it has affected me in other ways (stomach acid reflux, sleeping problems). My stomach feels much less bloated after just 2 visits and I have never slept better than after getting adjusted by Dr Zimmerman. Thanks Doc!
June 7, 2017Alice H.Verified patient
I recommend Dr. Zimmerman to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor. I walked in with hip pain and after four sessions felt like nothing ever bothered me. During my initial session I was able to feel comfortable right away and trusted that Dr. Zimmerman was the right chiropractor for me. He fixed my issues and explained everything. He's down to earth and genuinely cares, this isn't just his profession but his passion.
June 8, 2017Michelle G.Verified patient
Matthew was an outstanding chiropractor. Unlike most that just crack you, he takes the time to get to the root of the issue and fix that first. Highly recommend.
June 7, 2017Ryan M.Verified patient
GREAT experience with Dr. Zimmerman. He took his time figuring out the source of my shoulder/neck pain and did an incredibly thorough job explaining it to me. I walked out of the appointment feeling like a cared for patient, not just a number in his checkbook. His jokes helped too.
May 4, 2017Katarzyna B.Verified patient
Great bedside manner, really knowledgable, and spends time getting to know exactly how to work with your symptoms. Very highly recommended!
April 21, 2017Ashleigh C.Verified patient
I've been working with Dr. Zimmerman for nearly 2 years now and he's been instrumental in my success as a professional soccer player. Always quick to respond whenever I have an injury bug whether i'm in New York City, or via FaceTime in Tulsa Oklahoma and now Sweden. He diagnoses the issue and provides strategies to return my body 100% effectiveness. I can't recommend his services highly enough.
April 21, 2017Devin M.Verified patient
Matt has been working on my old shoulder injury for about a year now (original injury was over 10 years ago, partially tore my supraspinatus playing lacrosse) and given I've been lifting a lot more and doing more intense workouts through CrossFit, even though I've gotten stronger, my shoulder gets fatigued at times. Matt is very aware of CrossFit movements having done it himself and is very knowledgeable on how the body is connected (it's not isolated to just my shoulder, Matt identifies all muscles involved and how that affects my overall mobility). I come out of our sessions feeling better with a higher range of motion and less pain. I highly recommend Matt, especially if you're an athlete looking to improve your performance and overall health.
More than 1 year agoJenny T.Verified patient
Dr. Zimmerman is a phenominal, and well-rounded practitioner. Not only does he take care of me while I train year-round for triathlons and half-marathons, but also during both of my pregnancies as well. What places him above past chiropractors or PT's of mine is his attention to fine detail. He has a knack for seeing even the most subtle dysfunctions of movement or beathing patterns, which makes his treatment sessions both effective & educational. As an athlete - and a mom - that's of high importance to me.

Dr. Matt rocks! I am feeling & training better than ever thanks to his expert analysis and care. As a former Division I track athlete, I've had my share of injuries that can unfortunately creep up and potentially affect my performance as a running coach and spin instructor. No one else has better connected my injuries of the past to my aches and pains of the present, so Dr. Matt keeps me moving pain-free. I make sure to send my athletes to him as well, so I highly recommend you see him!

Visit was extremely helpful and Dr. Zimmerman was very friendly, attentive, listened well and helped me with a speedy recovery!

Matt is great! I heard of him through a friend a while back. So when I threw out my neck, he took me that same day. I felt so much better after just one session. Since then we have been working on my posture and a couple kinks here and there. I really feel like i'm walking taller and sitting taller with better posture. I would definietly recommend him!
April 6, 2017Jackie L.Verified patient
Dr. Matt is awesome! My hamstring and back feel so much better after just a few visits. He also gave some excellent advice and guided instruction on how best to avoid future injury, as he himself does Crossfit too. As someone who goes 5x per week, it was so valuable that not only did his treatments and recommendartions come from a place of medical expertise, but from that of an athlete as well. Dr. Matt can talk the talk and walk the walk, so I highly recommend him!
