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.

USELESS VISIT! I went in for a check up since my last visit was 3 years ago and a current yeast infection. He didn't have my records so when I told him about my last visit with him he had no memory. So he dismissed what I said from the visit because he didn't have the paperwork on hand & didn't bother to get it. Told him my mom has a history of gastritis issues and has had many operations.. he didn't listen to me when I said I was having problems and didn't ask for my family history even when I tried giving it to him. I felt very unimportant because the questions on the paper were more important for him to get answers to. He didn't test anything just took my word for the yeast infection and for my gastritis issue he started with saying I should use fiber powder , stool softeners, or laxatives ; but sir I have had this issues for 3 years and I've tried it all and still DIDN'T LISTEN ME!!!! Let appointment with expired coupon for probiotic and large bill...

Does not listen to patients. It is his opinion only.

Worst experience I ever had with a doctor. I explained to him I was having a lot of pain and anxiety and he did not care at all. Dr. Zavaleta should not be practice as a physician. Totally careless about patients. Please don’t see this doctor.

My family has been seeing Dr. Zavaleta for over twenty years and I have never met a more caring doctor. He has shown up at his office in the middle of the night on more than one occasion when my children were sick. He and his nurses have also called to see how my kids were doing when they were ill. Not many doctors these days will do that.

I've been seeing this doctor for five years for cholesterol screening, sugar and BP control. I had a stroke last year and I believed that he is partially responsible.
