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.

I've been seeing Dr Zager for three years now and I'm very happy with him. He is very intelligent and willing to listen to my ideas and answer my questions. We have disagreed on one issue and have a made a good compromise. He is very concerned with proper preventive care, doesn't let me slide on tests but works with financial issues. Very easy to get medication, once he knows you as a patient he will call meds in without unnecessary visits, willing to do Zoom visits. He has recently been elected to the State Legislature so his time has been cut but I haven't had any change in treatment so far...I have to see him regularly for an ongoing health issue.

I could not wait to change physicians. Dr. Zager just does not care about his patients. He does not keep up with current information, when asking about alternative meds he referred me to the pharmacy. Does not take the time to listen, feel he knows it all, gives diagnosis without examining further, not the best of MD's. Glad I left his practice
