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.

Dr. Zare performed repair of my large hiatal hernia 6 weeks ago. Dr. Zare's work was impeccable. Everything was repaired with minimal damage to the area. The first weeks were definitely recovering from surgery, with some aches and pains and a limited diet. But, at 6 weeks, I am in nearly pain, sleeping well, back to exercise and stretching. Thanks to Dr. Zare, who is an experienced and gifted surgeon.

Dr. Zare and his staff are the absolute BEST! I began the process 2 years prior and quit because I did not feel comfortable with the doctor I had seen in Monterey and the experience. I decided to try Dr. Zare and his office and I am so glad I did! What a difference in experiences! The care was phenominal, Dr. Zare is like visiting with a friend, he is caring, thorough and an expert in the field. There is no comparison to the experience I backed out of in Monterey. I am so glad I did this and that Dr. Zare and his office were the ones to assist me! Thank you all!

I was referred to Dr. Zare by another doctor that I respect very much. Dr. Zare was very thoughtful when working with me to get my appendix removed. I had some unusual circumstances, and some overseas travel to consider. Now that the procedure is done, everything went exactly to plan, and I am looking forward to returning to full physical activity.

Dr. Zare has given me my life back. I had gastric sleeve surgery July 11, 2017 and I feel amazing already. His office staff is wonderful. It has been such a pleasure working with them.

Dr. Marc Zare truly represents the Hippocratic Oath at its best. Dr. Marc, as I so dearly call him now, found two right-sided hernias, which more than 20 previous specialists and surgeons overlooked in nearly four years of severe suffering. He listened, he heard, he did a thorough exam, he diagnosed, he operated, and he healed me. My husband and I will be forever grateful.
