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.

I came with a painful ingrown toenail on my great Right toe. All of my options were explained to my understanding. Understanding of Diabetes was a definite consideration. I was put at ease just from speaking with him and he answered each question. My procedure was done. I left his office. I did not require and pain medication afterwards. All of my pain was relieved with the removal of the ingrown toenail. I’d recommend to all of my family members and friends. Thank you again Dr. Zager

Dr. Zager is an exceptional Podiatrist. His knowledge and experience are only exceeded by his professionalism, patient care/personal concern, and his ability to convey to his patients the diagnosis, treatment, and anticipated outcomes. Dr. Zager is extremely well versed in diabetic Neuropathy foot care and wound care and the appropriate surgical intervention when required. Finally, Dr. Zager's depth of research review and overall focus on everyday healthcare provides great insight into staying well and healing challenging foot and ankle injuries. After 10 years of personal interactions along with my entire family's care, I can sincerely give Dr. Zager my highest recommendation!
