Great experience with Dr Zingas. Surgical repair of my broken/displaced ankle couldn’t have gone any better. I would highly recommend him!

The staff was friendly, even though there were tons of patients. The Dr. was great. He explained the process, and took the time to advise me on the best healing methods. I am still in the process of healing, and still have followup visits.

I had foot surgery done by Dr Zingas and had a great experience. My foot is completely healed now and the pain that I was having prior to the surgery is totally gone, I has been one year but it was totally worth having the repair done. I had osteoarthritis in my great toe. He removed the joint and stabilized it with screws and plates. I am extremely happy with the results. I was treated with respect and he was prompt to answer my calls and requests.

Very disappointed in surgery outcome. I ended up going to another physician for followup procedure. Very difficult to communicate with physician if issues arise. It would be helpful if physician worked with mid-level provider to provide answers to patients' questions. Also had the impression that this physician did not take the time to familiarize himself with patient status prior to seeing patient.

In 2006, Dr. Zingas performed surgery for my posterior tibial tendon rupture. I searched for 2 yrs. for the 'right' surgeon. Dr. Zingas literally rebuilt my foot --- the following year, he placed an internal orthotic in my opposite foot, to prevent the same rupture. AND fixed my horrific bunions! Two PERFECT feet ever since! In 2015, I went thru 2 mos. of combo radiation & chemo for rectal cancer - & was told "WALK 2 miles a day!" My GOOD feet made that possible. Cured! Thanks Dr.Zingas!!

Dr. Zingas is a great doctor. He was very informative during my pre-surgical consultation and he performed an ankle fusion that was a great success for my arthritic pain.

I was referred by my friend and finally made an appointment. I was scheduled about 2 weeks out, but was so happy to get in to see him. He gave me multiple treatment options and was very helpful in helping me decide which would be the best. I was very happy with my visit and the staff in the office was very helpful

Excellent doctor. Took the time to help diagnosis my ongoing ankle issue. I have gone to therapy and tried injections. He offered me a few options and I decided on surgery. He was great throughout the surgical process and now that I am after surgery about 6 months, I am feeling great.

Worst experience I have ever had. Making an appt was even rough. Lady was so negative I asked to speak to someone else. Zingas has no sense of urgency. I waited in the waiting room for over an hour and had to wait an additional hour to see him. He was very short to answer and could careless about anything I was saying. I felt like he rushed though the whole 5 minutes I saw him and he was very cold. Called back to get a script change since my pharmacy didn't carry it and Kimmy was rude as hell!

Unhappy patient – Jun 24, 2016
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Zingas?
Doctor is cold and arrogant. Suffers from confirmation bias. (Confirmation bias refers to a type of selective thinking whereby one tends to notice and to look for what confirms one's beliefs, and to ignore, not look for, or undervalue the relevance of what contradicts one's beliefs.)

I accompanied an elderly client to see Dr. Zingas over a few months due to a fracture. He was timely, considerate and very practical with her. this is one of a few experiences with him, and would recommend him for lower extremity fractures.
