Good experience today
I've recommended Dr Zollinger to many people! He really cares about each patient.
I would give him & his staff a 10 if I could! Dr Z is professional, funny & friendly He goes the extra mile. My iron was severely low. First time. He started typing & giving me info, typing more & relating for awhile. He doesnt quit until he finds a medication, treatment, tests, etc for my low iron. I'm kind of a conundrum. I always have the oddities and I think he likes to research...a lot! And he doesnt quit until he can find a treatment. He "really" cares about his patients.
Great guy.fun too
I could not be happier with my care shown by all the staff and medical professionals.
