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 had single level ACDF surgery with excellent results. Very little down time, maybe 2 weeks. Medical staff at Oro Valley Surgical Suites were excellent.

Gave me my life back!
Today is one year since since Dr. Zeiller from Tucson Orthopedic Institute completed surgery on my lower back to relieve excruciating sciatic nerve pain. From that evening forward I have had no further problems. Dr. Zeiller did a great job of explaining what was going on with my back and what the surgery would entail. I was very nervous about back surgery, but he helped ease my fears. The surgical suite team was outstanding, as was the anesthesiologist, who came up with something to avoid my severe reaction to the sedation drugs. Thanks for giving me back my life!

Efficient & Professional!
I was extremely happy with the expediency and friendliness of the staff. Dr. Zeiller ordered X-rays, the technicians were exceptionally quick. When Dr. Z came in a few minutes later, we reviewed my background & films, and cam up with a future plan. All medical offices should operate with the same professional courtesy & efficiency! My only caveat was not finding the office right away

Knowledgeable and Caring
Dr. Zeiller was recommended by my husband. He was empathetic and knowledgeable and even remembered my husband as a former patient. He explained things well, allayed my fears and quickly provided treatment options and a followup plan.

Outstanding surgeon and support staff. I had scoliosis repaired via vertebral fusion and laminectomy to take pressure off of major nerves. I am 100 percent satisfied with the result. Dr Zeiller and his staff are easily accessible and spend valued time with patients. I can’t imagine a better surgical team for this kind of surgery.

Went to see Dr Zeiler for pain in my hip that I had for a couple of months. He knew exactly what was going on and explained it to me clearly. I had previously seen him in 2016 after I had a fall and a pelvic fracture. He is very good and compassionate.

Dr. Zeiller is very personable, kind and straight-forward. After many years of slowly worsening leg issues and 2 hip replacements I was referred to him by a friend. He patiently explained the MRI to me while it was visible on the computer monitor and answered my questions Surgery was the only option for severe stenosis and disc degeneration L2-L5. I am now 7 weeks post-op and, in addition to immediate relief after surgery, have small improvements as the days go by. I am looking forward to returning to personal trainer sessions after physical therapy is complete in 2 weeks. I now feel like I can look forward to doing more things in the future rather than just trying to figure out how to get through each day at age 73. Many thanks to Dr. Zeiller and his excellent PA Natalie.
