While I felt that Dr.Zach was thorough and knowledgeable, I felt that she was a bit cavalier in her attitude, I didn't feel as if my knowledge after 50 years of orthopaedic nursing mattered much, that I was just another lay person patient. Would I recommend her? I don't know. I waited way too long for this appointment.

Dr Zach was very nice that in she was concerned about a different problem I have that is not related to the issue I came in for. She made suggestions of other things to try with my pain doc. She also had a student in while she gave me a shot and I thought she explained to the student very well how she was able to put the medicine in the correct place.

Received great care. Was experiencing great pain and addressed all my concerns.

I feel so fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Zach. I know her and her team will listen to my concerns and provide the best direction for my care.

This is the second time I have seen Dr. Zach and would recommend her to others. She tells is like it is and makes you feel comfortable.

Dr. Zach is the best!!!

Dr. Zach is one of my favorite doctors. She is always concerned understanding and listens to my concerns and to my feelings on my care.

Dr was excellent in my procedure

The Dr I saw was SUPER nice!!! Made me feel very at ease. I received an injection for shoulder pain and she did a fantastic job!! I barely felt a thing!!

Very pleasant experience

Well informed and explained choices

Just that I like her and I am confident of her skills

Dr Karen Z is a great doctor and professional, including her staff.

I really liked Dr Zach. She explained everything. She squeezed me for the appointment. I definitely will choose her again for my specialist.

Quality of care givers, friendly, thorough

Listened to my concerns and I am very pleased with how we will be proceeding further.

Thank you for your high quality care and for rescheduling so quickly after the blizzard!

I love the staff & Doctor Zock

As usual, the whole thing was quick, everybody was very friendly and very informative.

Dr Zach, Intern,.assistant have become like Family to us as we are not from the area. It feels great to hear Dr Zach ask about my wife as soon as she walked in!

I love Dr. Zach and would highly recommend. I assume because patients really like and she takes the time to listen to and care for her patients is why her clinics tend to run behind.

Dr Zach & her staff are excellent. Dr Zach has reviewed my history before the appointment & checks in for changes. My pain would be difficult to live with without her care.

I left my appointment with a plan to get more advice and some pt to provide relief. I feel like I am in more control and am grateful to have a clear picture of my condition.

Dr. Zach is always professional yet approachable. She listens to my concerns and answers any questions I have.

Dr. Zach is always compassionate in her cares and is an active listener. She maintains eye contact and engages me in discussion of the careplan.

Dr. Zach is easy to talk to, explains issues throughly and is not in front of the computer for my visit. She has her attention directed to me.
