        I called for work and visit appointment. My son had been injured at school and the school nurse had directed my son and his father to Inst Care/ED for evaluation. Because I was able to get this appointment saved us time and expense. My son was more at ease as he was able to see Dr. Zimmerman who he trusts from his previous injury, as a physician parent, I felt that I had overreacted and caused our providers to be overextended, which I do regret. However, I’m truly grateful for their time expertise and care of my son. They are absolutely the best.
