Excellent experience, from the beginning including, scheduling, check in, nurses care and Doctor' visit. I felt the staff as a whole and specifically Dr. Zinser we professional, thorough, informative and made for a very positive new patient appointment. I was nervous as my health profile is complex and lengthy. I felt heard and as though my health was a priority. I left feeling positive and informed and as though I will have great future care.

I'm very pleased with Dr Zinser. I've never had a doctor as well prepared to treat me or as thorough. No one comes close to his ability to communicate and concern for his patient.

Doc Z always takes time to give me really great answers to my questions. Gal who took my blood pressure listened to my concerns and changed things to make sure it didn't hurt.. Gal who took my blood was super good. I barely felt it and had only tiny bruis. Really appreciated great care I got.

Dr Zinser identified the problem, documented, ordered chest x-rays, and asked for follow-up in a timely fashion so that I was able to more quickly get started on healing. He was pleasant, professional and I was positively impressed. I feel so grateful to have been seen when I was. I hope to get back to work soon.

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!

This last experience was everything I want from my physician. Previous times I have felt like a statistic. The receptionists & clerks were far more personable than in the past as well.

Dr Zinser readily and willingly discussed my concerns regarding with some of the possible long term side effects some of the meds that I need to take on a daily basis. He took time to discuss the chemical functional reactions and parameters that were the key elements of the medication. I was impressed with the degree of details that he was willing to take time to thoroughly explain. In closing, he asked for my confirmation that I understood his input and explanations. His presence and care were very professional as well as personal.
