About 15 years ago I visited Dr. Zima as a new patient upon finding out my husband and I were having a second child. What a relief to have an obstetrician that didn't make me feel uncomfortable being examined on the table. His courtesy and down-to-earth manner made me want to speak freely about my health, unlike another local doctor who had an inferiority complex. Wrong profession to be in if you can't earn your patient's confidence. Dr. Zima pleasantly and thoroughly answered my questions about his background, family and experience... diplomas hanging on office walls do not explain the human side of a doctor. His advice on healthy intake and exercise was something I knew a lot about, but it was refreshing to speak with a doctor who does not immediately write up a prescription for a minor problem which could be treated with a safe, natural and effective remedy. We even have great discussions on politics and health care during routine checkups! After being in Dr. Zima's care through a third successful pregnancy, it was necessary to have a partial hysterectomy; Dr. Zima performed surgery which, in a short time, allowed me to resume painless intimacy with my husband. He personally visited me every day until I left the hospital, and even called me at home to check on my status. I have never received a call at home from a doctor before. I wish more doctors could have the superior knowledge, the attention to detail, the intelligent humor and the ability to put their patients and staff at ease. The staff are great ladies who are very attentive and responsive to patient needs. I always look forward to visiting my Dr. Zima. If you need a new doctor, you need to see him... Dr. Zima is the best in his profession.
