Hello. Please allow me to welcome you to my practice, Luxe Life Medical & Luxe Aesthetics. I started my practice with the vision of a ONE STOP family practice to give my patients the convenience of having access to medical/urgent care, holistic medicine, and beauty services, all in one place, for their whole family. My practice is all about the patient because everyone deserves the best quality care without feeling rushed and at Luxe, that is exactly what we provide to each individual. I attended Purdue University for my undergraduate studies and Graduate school at South University in GA. I am also a master certified aesthetics provider, a certified obesity medicine provider and a Naturopathic/Holistic Provider. In 2020, I was recognized as Top Family Practitioner by the Worldwide Leaders in Healthcare. In 2024 I was nominated for Best Women in Business, and 2nd Best in Meical Obesity Clinic in NWI. I continue to live up to my recognition with each of my patients. Hope to see you soon.

My name is Dina Zimmerman and I am a Family Nurse Practitioner that has a passion for helping patients of all ages and medical issues, in a more personal and convenient manner. Being a mom of five, I understand how sick days can be extremely challenging with leaving work and caring for a sick child or children for an unknown amount of time. I decided I would do whatever it takes to make family life easier with my House Calls and Office Availability! The quick response and convenient booking to have a child looked at by a medical professional is paramount. In a world with too many diseases for a parent to know which specialist or other diagnostic tests are necessary or which is not alarming at all, I want to ease parents concerns and be available to answer their questions right away!
