To have been for two injections with doc Zimmerman. After the second d one that didn't help me, I tried contacting the nurses at his office. No one ever returned the call. Well, I had a visit with doc. He put me back on same meds that wasn't and still aren't helping after I told him meds aren't helping. So my advice is DO NOT see this doc. Find another one. I am ganna find a doc who will help me. Doc has me taking the weakest meds possible for a chronic condition zeds pinched sciatic nerve. So find another doc. Not him
