I really hate going to the dentist (nothing new there) but going to Dr. Zimmer's office almost seems like a treat. High tech equipment keeps things efficient and fast. Killer views of downtown or a tranquil rooftop garden from your torture chair. Online appointment booking and reminders. They validate parking at Pacific Place so getting there is easy. And they have an office cat. Can it get any cooler than that? Oh yeah, and Dr. Zimmer does a great job too. read more

i loved my old dentist. so i was nervous when i moved that i would never find one i loved as much. while the "family practice" feeling isnt the same, the warmth and thoroughness is. the art on the walls is beyond great. the laid back feeling of a cat wandering from office to garden is welcoming (and i dont like cats). and the gadgets they have are fun! water pick to clean my teeth instead of metal? yes please. instant xrays? of course. emails to alert me to my next appointment and my own personal online account to confirm appointments? got that too. i HIGHLY recommend this practice! read more

I saw Dr. Zimmer for 5 years and the first few years were fine. He would check my teeth at every cleaning and was a good dentist. After his practice started taking off, he started booking too many patients at once, he just altogether stopped checking you at cleanings. Fortunately nothing was wrong with my teeth during this time. As he became more successful, he hired an associate dentist. I had an old filling that needed to be replaced and they kept calling me to see if it was okay to have the associate do it. Against my better judgement I said ok. This is where it all goes bad. The associate did my filling, it took him forever to do it. One part he had to try 5 or 6 times to get a little piece in my mouth. After it was over, I had severe pain every time I bit down. A month later Dr. Zimmer redid the filling again. same problem. I lived with pain while chewing for another 7 months as he kept saying it would get better. Well when it didn't, he finally said i needed a crown. If that didn't help, then I would need a root canal, which he happily did himself over referring me to a specialist. Needless to say, I left him after this and have been with my current dentist for over a year now. The tooth that had a root canal and now has a crown (for what was supposed to be a routine filling redo), STILL has pain when chewing and sensitivity to cold and hot. My current dentist did an xray and said that he didn't get the whole nerve during the root canal. On 2 of the stems, he didn't go all the way up, and he completely missed one whole stem. WTH!!!! Now I'm looking at getting another root canal on the same spot that he had done. Going on years of pain in the same spot. As great as he was when he was a smaller practice, I dont' think he's done a good job at growing or scaling his practice and has put the financial reward above caring for his patients. read more

Really love coming to Dr. Zimmer's office! I had to get my wisdom teeth extracted and I was extremely nervous. I had seen several maxillofacial surgeons in the area and didn't feel comfortable with any of them. Dr. Zimmer and the rest of his staff took the time to talk with me, explain the procedure, and relieve my anxiety. I was even given a choice of sedation which made me feel much better. Everything went as smoothly as possible and I've been back for several procedures since then. Dr. Zimmer and his staff are courteous, friendly and professional. Highly recommended! read more

Dr Zimmer is the best dentist ever. I moved away from Seattle so had to stop seeing him. I went to a new dentist in my new town and he told me I needed 4 fillings. Dr Zimmer looked at the Xrays and confirmed what I suspected, that the guy was trying to upsell me and there was nothing wrong with my teeth. He saved me a ton of pain and money. If I still lived in Seattle I would be seeing Dr Zimmer forever. His staff is also very friendly and their offices are great. I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Zimmer (and his team) is the third dentist I have had in the past year. He is a bit out of my way, seeing how I live on the eastside and I had to make the drive downtown for a 9am appointment. My previous dentist informed me that I needed 4 crowns replaced. I was shocked. Instead of spending all that time and money, I happened to learn about Dr. Zimmer and had my records forwarded to him. He completely disagreed with my previous dentists' assessment. I did get one crown replaced and it was done in one sitting, within a couple of hours and it fit perfectly. Good thing I didn't get all that unnecessary and costly work done from my previous dentist. I also got my teeth cleaned while the crown was being made in the room behind me. A big shout out to his staff as well. All were very personable, professional and very knowledgable. read more

So impressed with the facility as well as the staff. For someone who often gets a little anxious about visiting the dentist, they made me feel comfortable and at ease. Plus, they have great taste in art :) read more

Dr. Zimmer is a wonderful person and dentist. I have enjoyed all my experiences with his office and staff. The environment is very friendly and relaxing (not to mention beautifully decorated). I would highly recommend a visit! read more

Dr Zimmer and team are the best. Always a good experience (for a trip to the dentist)!

I love Dr Zimmer and his staff! His hygienists are gentle and caring. His staff remembers your preferences and is wonderful!

what dentist can un-snaggle the fugly outta your mouth and be incredibly stylish while doing it? dr. zimmer, and his super cute staff! comfortable to the point where one actually feels pampered by the experience, i love love love going to have my teeth cleaned and maintained here. going to the dentist is usually a big friggin' pain in the mouth, but dr. zimmer and his staff were so nice and good with the needle, it was my best dental visit to date. why go anywhere else, when you can have an amazing view and experience right there? p.s. cool art, lovely and interesting archicture/design choices. read more

I'll walk the middle line. I love cats, they're my animal of choice, but not in that type of setting - even though she is a sweetie. Liked all the staff and Dr Zimmer. Don't like having to pay the day of service - after all, they're "not a bank" - and I'm not a patient any more. I walked in and paid the $1000+ at the counter and asked if we were all paid up for the whole thing - meaning all three teeth. "Yup". Well, I was assuming everything the doctor and I discussed in the chair - the final work on the third tooth was all inclusive - not so, I was informed on my way out that in two weeks i'd need another $1000. Fortunately we are in a new year and my insurance will cover most of that - just didn't like being told after the fact. The whole pay up front thing has cost them my business and as my boss recommends them HIGHLY to coworkers, they invariably come talk to me and I wind up providing them with a list of other dentists. Good dentist, good atmosphere, wishy-washy on the cat, poor service on keeping people informed on $$ vs service, and BAD DOG! on the pay at time of service. My last dentist I just dropped $100 every month and we settled once a year in December - to bad he retired. read more

Dr. Zimmer is great. I cant say enough. I'm a longtime patient and have recommended him to a dozen or more friends who also say he is great. He is meticulous and first rate. Before Dr. Zimmer I went to a dentist who kept recommending procedures that I didn't need. When I went to Zimmer he said my teeth were fine. I don't think you could find a better dentist. He comes through when you need him. I cracked a tooth a few years ago. He got me an appointment right away and fixed it perfectly the first time. My wife had an emergency over one weekend. He came in that very day without question and fixed it. He is great. He also does dental work on his vacations and went to Central America last year. One of the hygenists said he also regularly does pro bono work for the homeless. I think its nice that he is in it for more than just the money. 5 stars for Dr. Zimmer. You wont find a better dentist or a more amazing office. read more

No dreading going to the dentist! I love this office. The hygenists work on the top floor of the dental medical building. Your chair is one of 6 or 8 in a large room with big windows overlooking downtown Seattle. This office runs so smoothly. read more

I went to Dr Joseph Zimmer's clinic for simple filling/cavity but i got nasty infection that lasted for several weeks. He is too busy trying to get 2-3 patients in one hour, so he usually spends 15-20 min on one patient and gets constantly paged because other patients are ready. If i did not get nasty gum infection i would have ignored the fact that his hygienist did my filling.... Is not there any medical or government agency that checks these kind of dental clinics to make sure they follow simple sanitation rules and requirements? i think syringe needle should be changed if it has already been used and/or it should be covered and kept in sanitized/clean environment before using on patient. I do not care if he has modern clinic or not as long as dental experience is painless, clean and reliable. read more

I have been to Dr. Zimmers office for hours and hours of work and cleanings have always had an enjoyable time in this office you can listen to music watch a movie and they make sure you are as comfortable as possible. They were very friendly and attentive to my needs and what teeth i thought were giving me problems. I have always had problems with my teeth and have always felt like dentists were judging me when i would come to them with a problem but i did not feel that way here he never maid me feel ashamed to come to the dentists. I just recently moved to california and am not pleased with the dentist i now have so im going to come up and get my teeth worked on at Dr zimmers office. I know good dentists are hard to find i have been to many many dentists and he is worth the money hands down best dentist i have ever been to. read more

I appreciate the professionalism and care of Dr. Zimmer, but even more impressive is the way he treats his staff. He cares about their development and is constantly communicating with them. His respect for them and concern for their continued development make me a customer for life. read more

Dr. Zimmer has a super staff that translates into no waiting time after you arrive. His assistants are great and knowledgeable, and Dr. Zimmer himself is very detailed oriented. So pleased with him and his entire team. I highly recommend him! read more

Dr. Zimmer has been my dentist for 18 years. Highly recommend!

I read a bunch of reviews before writing this. It seems you love Dr. Z or you hate him - no in between. Apparently in the 8 or so years I have been going to him I have only seen him on his good days. Does he sometimes keep me waiting? You bet. So does every doctor I know because they can't plan their time very well due to having to deal with what walked in the door, be it routine or an emergency. I am sure I have made doctors late when I had a problem needing a little extra time. While I obviously don't know for sure that what he tells me about my teeth is necessary or not, he has a very conservative attitude, which I appreciate. He saved a tooth another dentist was going to pull by applying a little slower approach and some TLC to it, rather than just yanking it. As for his staff, the hygienists have always been careful and seemingly thorough, no matter the condition of my mouth. I also have a very small mouth and it is hard to do adult X-Rays, but they have always patiently worked with me to minimize any pain and still get what they need. Dr. Zimmer is well briefed about my concerns, and what the hygienist found, but does his own exam. He has always explained a situation to me and given me the options available. Finally, he seems to be on the cutting edge of technology to make things easier for the patients and staff. I appreciate that attitude, as so many professionals get in a rut and don't continue to progress along with the field. read more

Dr. Zimmer and his staff are wonderful! I have been going to him for several years and have recommended him to many family and friends who all agree that he is kind, efficient and makes you feel very comfortable. The office is beautiful with a bright white open space and unique art throughout. If you drive and park in the building they will validate parking for you. read more

Dr. Zimmer and his staff pay great attention to detail and are always friendly and helpful. Nice office doesn't hurt nor does their contact through all sorts of social media and reminders about appointments. read more

Dr. Moazami did a filling on one of my front upper teeth today. It was fast, painless, and turned out looking beautiful.

We moved to Seattle from the Eastside last year. A friend of mine recommended Dr Zimmer. My daughter now loves going to the dentist? They are very professional. The front desk is nice and on the ball. Waiting time is always short. The dental hygienists and Doctors are excellent. Plus, the office is so cool it doesn't feel like a dentist office. I recommend! read more

Great service, beautiful space and nice employees. Highly recommend!

Extremely professional, beautiful and friendly dentistry. Every time I go in for general cleaning (or more) someone greets me right away and I am typically in the chair being worked on within minutes. Everyone is very friendly and they do a very thorough job of explaining what is happening and why. I feel very taken care of and would highly recommend Dr. Zimmer and his staff for your dental needs. read more

Beautiful facility, friendly people, and awesome artwork. It's very down to earth and still very professional. Going to the dentist doesn't have to be unpleasant, just come here! read more

Dr. Zimmer has been my dentist for many years now. I started going to him when my previous dentist traumatized me with a novacaine shot. Dr. Zimmer is easy with the needle. He has given me high quality dental care and I recommend him without hesitation. read more

Teeth cleaning today. Super gentle around the sensitive areas along gum line. No zingers.

Been seeing Dr. Zimmer for about 10 years. Wouldn't even think of going somewhere else. They do a great job and everyone is super friendly, even at 7am when I have my appointments. Dr. Zimmer knows what he's doing, and has been doing it along time. It also helps that he throws a fantastic rooftop party in the summer for his patients! read more

I have been coming to Dr. Zimmer for years and have always had the most comprehensive care. Dr. Z takes care to explain everything going on and has lots of technology that makes the experience much more pleasant than most other dentists. The staff is great and the office is like an art gallery or a spa. The feeling of being pampered while getting your teeth cleaned or other procedures is certainly not typical of other dentists I have seen. I recommend all of my friends go here. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Great dentist and staff! I've been going since January 1991 and even got my invisalign braces there. Beautiful office, relaxing settings. He is considerate, doesn't minimize your expressions of pain and effectively resolves tooth and gum issues. read more

Heard great reviews from colleagues and decided to try since he was in-network. Caution!!! Other dentists in his practice were not in my dental network so I received a large bill. The staff doesn't care so you need to ask the question when receiving dental care. read more

Dr. Zimmer and his staff are great! I love the office, and things always run smoothly, including billing. I had a "root canal gone bad" a few years ago. (Another dentist had done the root canal.) Dr. Zimmer was honest with me and said I should go to a specialist, who was also very helpful. I've been going to Dr. Z for years, and I plan to continue. read more

Been a patient of dr Z'a for 12 years. He did gum surgery on me and helped me figure out my jaw problems 8 years ago and has been my dentist all along. I remember when his office was just a couple chairs in a small office. It's great to see how he's grown the practice and I think it speaks for his talent. Also he has amazing yearly roof deck parties for his patients. One year he had the moon doggies perform! I mean come on. read more

Dr. Zimmer and his staff make my teeth happy! I've been a patient there for probably 10 years and plan to be until Dr. Zimmer retires. I used to have anxiety over going to the dentist and when I first started there I let the scheduler know that. She matched me up with my hygienist, Emily, and said she was the best at helping people feel comfortable - she was so right! Emily is just the greatest. The other assistants and hygienists that I've had have been awesome as well. I look forward to my dentist visits now and have since I started seeing these wonderful people. In addition to my cleanings, I've had crowns & Invisalign done by Dr. Zimmer. Everything has been great for me and Dr. Zimmer is not only a dental perfectionist, but an all around nice person who has genuine care and concern for his patients. I appreciate that he gives options (what might cost less, etc) and he will let you know if a fix can wait. I never feel pressured to get work done, but he'll also tell you if he thinks something is important to have done sooner than later. It's obvious that Dr. Zimmer, Emily and the whole staff have respect and compassion for their patients. Clearly, I highly recommend you go see them! And oh my goodness, their office is gorgeous, they play good music, and they validate parking at Pacific Place. Bonus, bonus, bonus! read more

This dentist was recommended to me by a coworker and I was very pleased with their service. Very clean office and very unique office style. I would recommend anyone looking for a great dentist to try this place out. read more

Great service. Dr. Zimmer took his time to do detail exam and explained everything to me. I had to wait for him almost 20 min it was worth it. I think that hygienist was not that experienced ( had problem with identifying work done on my teeth and count) but she was trying to address everything twice and she was thanking notes to double check with Doctor. read more

Dr. Zimmer has been my dentist for almost 20 years. I feel he is the best dentist downtown! His staff is personable, professional,and fun to be around in an amazing setting on the top of the medical dental building,there's a reason why he's in the Norstrom building because he's the best!! five stars!! read more
