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.

Highly Qualified Doctor
Dr Zacharowicz is highly intelligent, well trained and gives excellent medical advice. He gets to the heart of the diagnosis and treatment in a matter of seconds. He also cares about his patients and follows up with them and makes sure that they are getting the proper tests. Finally, he cares about his patients and wants them to understand their condition.

Dr Zacharowicz takes his time with patients. Listens carefully and explains his conclusions. He's also not stuffy or formal.

One of the Best Doctors
I had the privilege to be under Dr. Zacharowicz's care a few months back when I was hit by Covid19. He took such great care of me, giving me the right medicine to take, setting up my visit to receive a dosage of monoclonal antibody therapy and keeping track of my progress.

Dr. Zacharowicz treated my teenage daughter with care and respect. He was extremely thorough and patient, and explained every step clearly. He put us at ease without being condescending. No one should need a neurologist, but if you do, we recommend Dr. Zacharowicz.
