Dr. Zimel is one of the kindest, and most thorough doctors I have worked with through my illnesses. I have every confidence in her she always manages to sense my fear and anxiety in an empathetic and reassuring manner. I won't hesitate to sing the praises of her practice and the care I have received from UCSF!
