In their words: Patient Reviews

Dr. Zimmer took care of all 3 of our children for their braces and did an incredible job. She is patient, kind, knowledgeable and honest making it a pleasure to work with her. Our children felt comfortable and at ease with her. Dr. Zimmer made sure that their teeth were just right and they now all have beautiful smiles. We highly recommend Dr. Zimmer and Prairie View Orthodontics.

Beth G.

The entire staff is friendly, welcoming and really professional. Dr. Zimmer’s expertise, kindness, honesty and ability to communicate the process put my son at ease. The whole process was really great.. So much so, that when it came time for child #2 to get braces, there wasn’t a doubt that Dr. Zimmer is where she would go for her dental care. I recommend Dr. Zimmer and her staff to everyone.

Bonny M.

Nothing but a great experience at the Geneva location! Prairie View gave us a wonderful and inviting experience from start to finish. Dr. Zimmer is so wonderful, taking the time to go over treatment options clearly and understandably! Great payment plans and treatment options, I was referred over by a friend and can see why. The staff is so friendly and welcoming as soon as you walk in the door! Highly recommended!!

I highly recommend Dr. John for your ortho needs! I have had two children get braces and have a perfect smile. My last child we are watching for future Invisalign. He is amazing with kids and considers the process along with age and maturity when recommending a perfect fit and time for the procedures. The staff is also super kind and welcoming. Highly recommended to everyone.

Dr. Zimmer and staff always treat us like family. I’m on my fourth son receiving treatment at Prairie View. They go above and beyond to make appointment times work for us, understanding the schedules of a busy family running in all directions. Most of all, I trust their judgement and work. I’m grateful for their patience and kindness. A special shout-out to Olga and her thoughtful way of taking such good care of us!!
