Please be aware of the practices of this office. I was referred without much knowledge of their treatment protocol for brain injury and after I reviewed the situation with my neurologist, I was advised it would not help. I explained and cancelled my first upcoming appointment and they kept my $100 deposit that I was explicitly told was to be used in the event that I missed an appointment without calling. They gave no service, no consultation and tried to use vague language in their paperwork to keep my funds. Very unethical. Additionally he has a very unpleasant personality and is not got with his communication Beware this is a nurse practitioner and not a MD who is using a program that worked for his personal injuries but, as in my case, would have been detrimental to my health… obviously not educated in neurological matters enough to be offering treatment programs

Dr. Redd and Teresa are very well versed and caring. Best experience of my life dealing with doctors and diabetes. They actually listen and understand.

After over a year of brain fog, memory issues, headaches and fatigue from long covid I finally have found some relief. Dr. Zimmerman and his awesome staff have helped me feel more like myself then I have for over a year.

I have my life back!!! I owe it all to the expertise of Dr. Zimmerman. I suffered a very bad concussion in an automobile accident. I had short term memory loss, couldn’t think of common words, had to use a walking stick because my balance was terrible, blurred vision, horrible migraines. I tried the more traditional healthcare route to find someone to heal me, but after 5 months with absolutely no improvement in any of my symptoms and many failed medications, I found Idaho Brain and Body. I can honestly say I am me again thanks to Dr. Z!

Dr. Redd is awesome. He spends time working with you to figure out why you are struggling with your health. He helps you work on improving your diet and nutritional deficiencies. He works on improving your gut health which improves overall feeling of well being.

Thank goodness I found Dr. Phillip Redd and Idaho Brain & Body.I didnt know where to turn, I was so darn tired, hitting a wall every day, it was hard to function on a daily basis. Frustrated with main stream medicine and lack of help for my thyroid issues, I found Dr. Redd and I am so very happy I did.Dr. Redd has saved me from a life of tiredness and sickness. We have worked together to find the perfect combination of thyroid meds and clear the toxins from my body which improved my energy level and a renewed zest for life.I now wake before my alarm and have energy all day to accomplish those daily activities. High praise for Dr. Redd, his thoroughness and thoughtfulness to help me heal.This is one doc that really cares about you as a person. Make that appointment, you wont be disappointed in the results.

I met Dr Redd 4 years ago in my search to find a Dr who would be willing to treat me more naturally. I was tired of Drs not listening and passing off my concerns with the excuse, “it is due to your age.” (then 60) and continually being offered antidepressants as a cure all.I went to one of his evening seminars on thyroid, I wanted to check this out being as I was constantly dealing with thyroid issues. With his help in the past 3 1/2 years he has helped me with thyroid, several hormone issues (hot flashes, night sweats), insomnia, fatigue, foggy brain, gut issues, food allergies, weight gain, joint pain and insulin resistance. All of these were resolved with time and perseverance (I knew it would take time, these were years old concerns). He treated me with supplements, diet changes and intermittent fasting for my insulin resistance. He walked me through each step and listened to me and always came up with a solution. If you truly want help to feel your best, do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Dr Redd. He is so knowledgeable and has the answers.

I just wanted to write a quick review about how Dr. Zimmerman was able to help my daughter who was in a bad car accident, she was hit head on at twice her speed. She suffered a bad concussion, pain and nausea and so many other symtoms for 1.5 years. Her independence and confidence were shaken in addition to this. When we were put in contact with Idaho brain and body She was skeptical at first because she had previously been through 3 different Concussion clinics with little results. Thankfully this was not the case at Idaho Brain and Body, I cant tell you how amazing and life changing this has been for her and for our family. Our daughter was only 18 at the time of the accident, and its truly amazing to see her happy, pain free and coming back to life. God Bless Dr. Zimmerman and his staff!

I have known Dr. Zimmerman (Dr. Z) for over a decade and watched him fine-tune his incredibly detailed approach to overcoming disease and illness. He is not your average physician. In addition to continuing education seminars and conferences, he spends 100s of hours annually...personally studying and researching the latest cutting-edge, in-depth medical science. Hes a seeker of truth and viable, usable, effective healing solutions. His approach to immunology and rapidly boosting the bodys innate ability to mobilize and defend itself...is novel and highly comprehensive. Spend some time with him in a free, initial consultation...and you will be amazed with his knowledge of the human body, his ability to explain complex systems, and how to apply that knowledge in helping you feel better. Dr. Zimmerman likes to use accurate and precise measurements, labs and other diagnostic testing to track exactly what is going on in your body...no guessing...whether thats blood sugar problems, low-energy/chronic fatigue, weight issues, sports medicine, pain/inflammation control, or low-grade chronic/persistent infections. Understanding the exact tests needed to identify problematic markers, and then addressing and tracking those markers for progress...is his specialty. As I mentioned before...Dr. Z is very detail-oriented. He also has an extensive background in neurological function, including migraines, seizures, concussions, brain injuries and general cognitive impairment...which is where he was able to help our family. Above all else, Dr. Zimmerman cares. And it shows in the intensity of his desire and drive to help you finally feel better.

Dr. Zimmerman is skilled at his profession. I am usually the type to spend hours researching what I’m getting into so that I can be certain I am pursuing the the best options possible. I was surprised to see that everything I was looking for Dr. Zimmerman was either already applying to therapy with his patients or was knowledgeable of and/or had better recommendations. This was pleasantly unusual because I am use to experiencing that blank stare from a physician when I ask about something that might be slightly esoteric. He was patient and sympathetic with all my questions and also polite and thorough with his answers. I followed every nutraceutical, nutritional, and lifestyle recommendations he advised and by doing so I was able to achieve the improvements that we intended. I’m still practice everything I learned throughout treatment in my own time and continue to feel better.The best advice I could give to those who might be experiencing something similar is to consider every recommendation and don’t waste any time while you could be taking advantage of all the latest advancements in neurological treatment. It is truly remarkable what is possible if you are dedicated to improve your condition.

The best decision Ive made on a very long time was to go see Dr Zimmerman. He fixed issues Ive been dealing with most of my life. I went to so many doctors who could never figure out what was going on. I think Dr Zimmerman is a miracle worker!

A couple of years ago I was out camping, working toward my Eagle scout. I had an accident and hit my head on a rock (see the photo below). No one identified the fact that I suffered a concussion because I didnt lose consciousness. I did, however, have mood swings and problems with my memory and balance, and very low energy.When I first met Dr. Zimmerman, he did some balance testing on me. I feel off the balance pad three times within thirty seconds. We could tell right away that there was something seriously wrong.After three treatments with Dr. Zimmerman, I have better balance than I ever have. My energy is so much better, too. I wish Id found him sooner, but I am happy with the progress I am making.

My kids and I were in a car accident and my daughter and I were being treated but our bodies were essentially rejecting the treatment and we were getting worse due to concussions we had no idea we had. I was previously under the impression that I had to lose consciousness to suffer a concussion. Wow were my eyes opened by Dr. Z.I was suffering from daily migraines, depression, neck, back, shoulder, hip pain, vision and hearing problems, and the list goes on. Dr. Z saved my life. No joke. He is super meticulous and very passionate about his work. He is very smart and forward thinking and researches all the time. He genuinely cares about his patients. I was very surprised to see his office space. He uses every inch of it for treatments so he can cut costs and pass the savings onto the patient. He was extremely patient and caring towards my 12 year old daughter which I totally appreciated. He’s an amazing and very caring provider and I highly recommend him. I would drive home after treatments and burst into tears at how amazing I felt. After ONLY A FEW TREATMENTS! It’s fast, our brains heal incredibly fast. It’s crazy. I am now seeing him for my gut health and mental disorders and seeing totally improvement.He is one of a kind and he will change your life. Go see him.

Dr. Zimmerman is phenomenal! In January I found out I have Lyme disease and along with that discovery, I found out that most traditional Doctors won’t/can’t help treat Lyme disease patients due to FDA restrictions. My only option appeared to be a Lyme specialist, which was going to cost enormous amounts of money because insurance doesn’t cover Lyme specialists. So an appointment and whatever treatment they were going to put me on was going to be well over $1,000. Just for that one appointment. I felt hopeless. And that’s when I had the amazing fortune to come across Dr. Zimmerman. He gave me the hope I so desperately needed. He is very knowledgeable in regards to traditional medicine, but also homeopathic care as well. He helped me to come up with a realistic nutrition plan and put me on a rigorous supplement plan. He also stressed the importance of lifestyle- getting ample sleep, low impact exercise (I tend to try and push too hard in this aspect and he helped to teach me why this is actually a disservice to my recovery), water consumption, etc. and most importantly, he was with me every step of the way. We had regular appointments set up for him to be able to check on me and monitor progress. And I always felt like I could reach out if I had any concerns. I started feeling better than I have in a long time within a few months of working with him. My recovery journey isn’t over, but I will be forever grateful to Dr. Zimmerman and his diligent care on my behalf and the amazing improvements I have experienced thus far, thanks to him.

My experience with Dr Zimmerman has been amazing!! I was in two car accidents, the first one was a rear end collision the second was a front passenger side collision and in both I was diagnosed with a concussion. I felt horrible! I felt as if I’d never be back to “normal” and as a single mom of 5 kiddos “normal” is a must. Just so you understand where I was mentally, I had lost focus, drive, control of my thoughts and feelings, lost balance, my kiddos felt the need to help in so many area that at times made me feel guilty, I felt depressed. On top of not being able to physically do the same things with my kiddos, I wasn’t available mentally either! It was HORRIBLE!! But I thank God for the referral to Dr Zimmerman’s office they are not only very welcoming and kind. They made me feel that my recovery was a priority and they were going to do what was necessary to accomplish whatever goal I had, which was full recovery. To be honest I was hesitant but soon after we started treatment with the first accident I noticed a ton of different with balance, focus and mood swings just in every area. I was also noticing thhat my physical recovery was coming along quicker after the intense treatments. I received the same results with both concussions. I encourage everyone dialing with any type of mental instability to make an appointment for a consultation, who knows maybe your symptoms are due to an untreated concussion. My best wishes for all.Alex L.

No one knows how it truly feels to have a brain injury unless you’ve been through it firsthand. My journey was the most difficult journey I’ve been through. When I came into Dr Zimmermans office (after hearing countless phenomenal reviews about him from friends and family as well as other doctors in the valley), I was a hot mess. My brain injury had completely taken over my life to the point where I couldn’t drive, couldn’t hold a job, couldn’t even do basic tasks (such as grocery shopping or even finishing a movie I had started watching) because of how much pain I was in. I came into Dr Zimmermans office (my husband and I gave him the funny nickname of “D-Zimmy”, because he really is that awesome), and D-Zimmy tested me and said I had a severe concussion. While sitting in his office he asked me one question. “How badly do you want your life back?” I began treatment with him extensively for two weeks, and by the end of those two weeks I was able to drive and work part time. He helped me go on a diet, restore my balance, fix my light sensitivity, rebuild my memory, alleviate my nausea, and get rid of my mood swings. He helped me get off of medication that i didn’t even know was damaging my brain and body, and put me on natural supplements that gave me all the benefits of prescription medication without the side effects and harm that it can do to your brain. He truly cares. He takes your journey and your life just as seriously as you do. You will not leave his office feeling the same as you did when you walked in. To many people his care can seem expensive, but it’s worth every penny when you realize just how far you can go in life when you choose to put your health first, and do the work, regardless of the cost. So grateful. I’m pretty sure I just wrote the cheesiest review ever, but I gotta be honest about the things I love!! Thank you D-zimmy for helping me get my life back!!

After suffering a traumatic brain injury in a car accident, I went to a nuerologist, physical therapist, speech therapist, a sports injury doctor, and a general practioner. None of them were able to provide relief, and a couple of them made things significantly worse. I had given up hope of recovery when a friend referred me to Spencer Zimmerman. Within two weeks of treatment, my dizziness was gone, my nausea was much improved, and I finally had a sense that I could at last heal from what had completely derailed my life.Later, my teenage daughter contracted mono. This really took down her immune system and led to a host of other illnesses. Spencer Zimmerman was the first doctor to identify why she was continuing to feel poorly (pediatricians and general practioners alike completely missed her walking pneumonia and dismissed my concern that she had contracted influenza, which she had - both type A and B!), and the first that was able to help with her vertigo and begin rebuilding her immune system aggressively. Within three appointments her energy began to rebound and the hope that she would at last recover was such a relief!Fabulous bedside manner, and one of the few doctors I have met that actually takes time to listen rather than behave with dismissive arrogance.I am so glad we found him.
