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.

The Dr. removed my appendix on 8-14-24. I meet the doctor in the pre-op room and immediately was impressed with her. She was kind, professional, and offered to call my wife after my surgery due to her not being able to be at the hospital during surgery. After the recovery I was given a room. The doctor also followed up and explained how everything went. Dr. Zolfoghary is TOP NOTCH in my book.

If you value your health, DO NOT let this woman cut on you! Terrible experience which ended up in MULTIPLE hospital stays and MONTHS of pain for what should have been a simple gall bladder removal!

Dr. Zolfoghary is excellent! She explains procedures thoroughly, answers questions completely and has better than excellent bedside manner. I’ve had a couple of surgeries performed by her and I would not hesitate for a moment to have another with her. Excellent and caring surgeon.

My friend died because of carelessness at 57. Dr. Zolfoghary didn't even have the decency to come speak to my friend's loved ones or myself after this careless and negligent error. Upon further investigation I found where she has been sued in the past for a similar error in Hillsborough County, that information can be found on the Florida Medical Licensing Board. I absolutely do not recommend this doctor for anything.

In December of 2014 Dr. Zo, as she is nicknamed, saved my life. With a critical failure of my gal bladder her diagnosis and actions literally saved my pancreas and liver from life ending failure. She is a fantastic surgeon with excellent skills and personality. Thank you Dr. Zo!

Dr Zolfoghary worked me in because my surgeon was not in. She’s amazing she listens and immediately took care of my concerns and put me at ease. I highly recommend her and her expertise is evident. Just a wonderful caring Dr.
