- September 19, 2020I love my doctor. Women make better doctors as they listen well. Dr. Z is the BEST.
- September 15, 2020I'm truly pleased with her. I had soo many questions and she acknowledged each and everynone of them. She took her time.
- September 2, 2020All good.
- August 23, 2020Dr. Z is a very caring person and YES I would recommend her to everyone.
- August 19, 2020Dr. Z always stays until all my questions are answered, until procedures are finished and she checks in on me and allows me to rant about the overall system, health care, psoriatic arthritis and the chronic pain vs acute pain. Then she explains to me the reasons for the pain, why not to do any injections if possible anymore and is always gentle and caring. She's my favorite provider of my care team and approached medicine like a professional and also is careful in what she says. If she says something challenging to me, will find a paper or something to back up what she has said and why to do this or that and why to continue or not continue of medications, not add more or to add more. she always explains well enough, the first time that I understand and I move forward in my thinking and communicating with her. She also gives me time to think and process before running out of the room. Always makes sure she's answered every question, asks if I have anything else she needs to know about before my next check-up and I tell her or not depending on if anything is coming up. I did tell her about the wheelchair incident and she took notes into reasoning for service, looked over the chair and could see the problems with the legs not being even, jerking when going up and not matching in the way they sit on the chair. I keep running over myself because of the footplate hitting the tire with the left foot so she wrote down all notes she so would be ready when the next bunch of paperwork comes in. I also warned her about maybe wanting to add elevation to the wheelchair because it's difficult to be so low all the time and especially at appts, talking with people, doing things at home, I can't use my chair to brush my teeth because the sink is too high, if the chair would elevate the seat a bit, I could possibly do more ADL's for myself and even be able to get into the shower or bath with more ease. Made notes again. She's awesome.
