Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Zoltan is a doctor with an old-school god complex who does NOT listen to his patients. I tried to tell him about my history of infections and his response was, "MY patients don't get infections." He REFUSED to talk to my previous doctors about the issue. 36 hours after surgery I was in the ER with an infection and ended up needing to wear a wound vac for over four months. It could have all been avoided had he only stopped to listen. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy.

I went for hip pain after a fall. Dr. Zoltan said it was bursitis and gave a cortizone shot-I had to lay on a wooden bench with hip straight up. Yeow! The first shot helped but noticed my hip was getting worse. The second or third shot didn't have much effect and I found another doctor. He looked at the same mri for a few seconds and saw that it was a tear in the labrum. Also said lucky I didn't get too many cortisone shots because they can make the tissue impossible to repair.
