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.

Questionable financial practices
Waited over a month for an appointment. I am fully insured with UW Regence but at first visit receptionist insisted that I would be required to hand over my full credit card information with blank authorization (!) Or the other option would be to make a $250 PREPAYMENT cash or card before seeing Dr Zook. First doctor ever demanding such a deposit or blank credit card authorization. At least you have been warned what kind of an office this is

This was the worst dermatology appointment I’ve ever been to. With a family history of melanoma I have attended many skin checks and never have I had such a quick and nonthorough exam. Dr. Zook brought me back 50 minutes late with no apology and spent less than 10 minutes in the room with me before rushing out. I have several concerning moles that other dermatologists always notice and comment on and she didn’t even look at them. She couldn’t have shown less compassion or cared less about my health. Then I got a 200 dollar bill because they entered my insurance information wrong so it was denied by blue cross. Stay away from this doctor by all means.

I really feel like she cares for her patients, she's so sincere and compassionate. And even though she's busy, I never feel like she's rushing and she answers all my questions. I would recommend her to anyone that I know, she is a great doctor.
