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!

My goal is to deliver high quality care based on the latest evidenced based practice. I will treat you with respect and together we will come up with a collaborative treatment plan that will provide us the best health outcomes
