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.

Literally the worst doctor I’ve ever met. I have completed a long term treatment plan for benzo abuse, I am fully sober now. I want to this joke for a doctor, he talked to me for about 5 minutes, I told him I would love to get clean, get into a program, and that I’ve tried to quite cold turkey and have a bad seizure. He told me he couldn’t do anything unless he saw me have a seizure, didn’t check my heart, and had a awful, rude attitude. Even the nurses were apologizing and telling me to please come back when the next doctor comes on shift. I went to Mercy and got the help I needed, real help from people who cared about me and my situation. I am sober today thanks t THOSE doctors. You, Dr. Zielinski, are an embarrassment to the medical community, and that’s coming from an actual doctor who apologized on YOUR behalf and was truly embarrassed. You’re disgusting, and don’t deserve a medical license at all. I feel bad for every single patient of yours, because you’re a joke and a half.

I went into the ER at Shasta Regional Medical Center on 8/5/20. I was in pain and I suspected I had been exposed to some kind of toxin/poison the previous evening. I asked very clearly for a complete tox screen including metals to see what it might be. He completed a drug screen not a tox screen. After the drug screen coming back clean I asked again for a tox screen directly to him and he said we don’t do those here. Check with your GP. He and the ER were no help to me finding out what made me sick.
