Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Fimmel?
My brother and I shared high liver enzyme numbers for years. Neither of our gastroenterologists thought much of it... then my brother died from liver failure. I came home and found Dr. Fimmel. He took immediate concern and offered me a solution for my NAFLD. A year later, my liver is clean of fibrosis and my liver enzymes are in the normal zone. He is friendly, compassionate, and their for his patients.
