Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit. Dr. Zinser is clearly a knowledgeable and informed physician who listens intently and provides clear and relevant answers to questions and medical information that are not based on opinion but on scientific research. Dr. Zinser always explains what current research is showing and uses this to educate and inform me as his patient. Dr. Zinser never talks down to me or treats me like I would not understand his medical explanations but always takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes sense. I would highly recommend Dr. Zinser to anyone!
