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.

Very disappointing. I am in desperate need of a competent, compassionate PCP and was referred to Dr. Zachrich. I was advised by his front staff that because I am on Medicare he would not accept me as a patient. Add this to the list of why the healthcare system in this country needs changing,

Dr Zachrich is the best doctor our family has ever had. He is thorough, knowledgeable, listens to his patients and caring. He goes above & beyond in caring for his patients. When our son was admitted to a specialty hospital for an unknown disease, he called personally, twice a day, to check on his progress. We couldn’t ask for a better doctor.

Dr Zachrich has been my primary care physician since 2005. He is always professional and his treatment and experience are exemplary. His office staff is available and eager to help triage your issue to the doctor for appropriate treatment. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Dr. Zachrich is the best we have ever had. We just wish with as many ladies that work there when we call the phone would be answered. It never is and we have to wait for someone to call us back.

Dr. Zachrich is extremely experienced and I highly recommend him. I am what would be considered a "complex" case and started to see him years ago - he continually exceeds my expectations even with my health challenges. He will even take the time to call me personally with test results as well as refer me out when needed. He is always professional and timely. What an outstandng Doctor!

Dr Zachrich has been my primary care physician for 12 years. He is extremely motivated to help. If he doesn't know the answer he does the research to find an answer. He listens and explains in a way that can be understood.
