Dr. Zimprich has been amazing. It is a very busy clinic, yet she always allows plenty of time and is thorough. She is skilled and has a great provider personality. Dr. Terveen did an excellent job with my surgery and Dr. Zimprich has done an amazing job with my care before and after. I would recommend Vance Thompson clinic to everyone.
