Personal LifE
Outside the office
In his downtime, Dr. Zimm enjoys skiing, hiking, and spending time with his wife and teenage son. He is an expert at all genres of music and is a huge sports fan, cheering on the New York Knicks or the Yankees. His warm and welcoming ways are carried into his personal life as well, entertaining friends and family and meeting new and interesting people during his travels.
He is very much a family man and values spending as much time with his loved ones as possible. Dr. Zimm enjoys playing tennis and, in the winter, skiing, though he admits he does it less often now, as the risk of injury becomes a bit more daunting with age.
Dr. Zimm is also passionate about music and frequently attends live shows. He plays golf occasionally, though not as often as he would like, and has long been drawn to the arts, including sculpture and other creative pursuits.
He loves living in Manhattan, appreciating its vibrant energy, excellent restaurants, beautiful parks, and diverse, fascinating people. He also makes a point to take at least one international trip each year, whether for medical conferences or leisure. Traveling allows him to experience new cultures, which he feels makes him a more well-rounded person and surgeon.
