Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

From Bad to Worse
I recently went to have the arm touch up done since even Dr. Zimmerman admitted that quote,
"Was I sleeping when I did your left arm?! He also had previously said that he quote "didn't know why he didn't do the auxiliary areas of my armpits, because he usually does with the arm lipo?!" Then, when I got there he got irate and angry when I reminded him of what we were doing, saying that "he's not going to promise anything!" Umm .... what now?!
I previously thought I might as well go ahead and have my upper abdomen/flanks and part of my upper back done being that eventually I want to have a tummy tuck but had an upper tire around my upper abdomen that has always bothered me. So I had already paid an additional $2500 with the touch up fee (that I don't think I should have had to pay).
Well fast forward, what the HELL was I thinking???!! I even had a gut feeling when I got there that I shouldn't be there and I should walk out and asked for my money back, but I didn't. Shame on me!
I got on the table and he began to numb me, but I wasn't numb enough! He told me he can't use any more anesthesia or else he won't have anything left for my arms?! The pain was a searing stabbing pain that I felt every painful jab! It was HORRIFIC pain!! And he blamed ME for feeling it!!! He tried to convince me "I" was the reason for him screwing up and not being able to finish!
I mean SERIOUSLY what kind of back door clinic is this?
-Never offered me pain meds after either time
-Never gave me follow up instructions
-Never provided any sort of compression garment.
-Used maxi pads cut in half to cover my
Wounds
-Blamed ME for the EXCRUCIATING pain "I" felt stating it was all in my head!
-Said he couldn't finish the job because of how I was acting (yeah I was sobbing from the SEARING pain)
-Totally uneven ALL OVER and he never even re-did my arms.
-At the follow up appointment that I had to call him to make, he told me that quote "yeah, it's going to be painful, when he said the exact opposite thing prior to that!" He also told me not to focus on my botched results and that they're "no big deal!"
-Never offered ANY kind of compensation for such a horror show.
I'm SOOOOOOO upset right now.
My stomach, flanks (plus my arms still) are
Completely utterly uneven with large gauges throughout and I was told by a REAL plastic surgeon that he caused so much damage that I will absolutely NEED a tummy tuck now to possibly correct it.
Please stay away from Dr. Zimmerman the butcher. I believe all these other positive reviews are fake because there are never any pictures. Well, here's some so you'll think twice before EVER even stepping foot in Dr. D's office!
Please don't be a victim of torture and mutilation like I have been! Spare yourself! PLEASE!!!!

Touch Up Tentatively Scheduled
So I went back and met with Dr. Z. I was still nervous that he would say, "What are you talking about?" As he (as always) was super nice and he looked at my arms... However, to my relief he immediately noticed the unevenness in my arms and actually made the comment, "Was I asleep when I did your left arm?" Lol! Thankfully at least he "sees it" and now the touch up is tentatively scheduled for the end of the month and he said he is also going to do my underarms fat since he quote "usually does this as well, but isn't sure why he didn't do it on me?!"
I'm SO grateful he is being honest about everything and I am NOT looking forward to the hellish pain for two weeks AGAIN, but this definitely has to be fixed as they are blatantly uneven and it bugs the crap out of me daily.
If this goes well I think I am going to return for Vaser to my upper abdomen and flanks because he explained it doesn't hurt nearly as much as the arms do and it's a much shorter recovery time. I have to say though in my right arm (the one that was done well), The vaser gave an amazing results and you can see the muscle tone in my arms and there's hardly any cellulite or unevenness of the skin. If anything it actually smooth out my skin some, which did not happen with traditional tumescent liposuction in the past.

Provider Review
Dr. Clark Zimmerman
Dr. Zimmerman is extremely nice and has the most amazing bedside manner. He is overall a lovely person. I feel bad that I am very disappointed at this point, but I will update this review when he hopefully does a retouch on my vastly uneven arms (although I might add Vaser is SOOO painful and I don't want to go through this again at all)! I want so badly to be able to review him positively since he is just so nice and caring. My right arm looks awesome except for a small fat pad he missed on the top rigth next to the armpit area I really wanted gone, but my left arm looks almost the same and everyone can tell (not just me) how much bigger it is compared to the right. I am not happy with my result at this point(just want them to be even) but am trusting Dr.Z will be honest and that it will be corrected in the next two months. Frankly, It HAS to be!
