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.

This doctor was excellent. He was thorough, he listened well and was confident in his diagnosis. One of the best docs I have seen.

This area will miss Dr Z
Im 63 and Dr Z is the best Doctor of any kind that i have ever had the pleasure of being a patient of. He looks you in the eye and makes sure you understand and are on board with your treatment. If i ever come into enough money to afford to make a trip to medical care, i will gladly drive or fly to remain his patient. i truly believe that when the 'Hippocratic Oath' was being prepared, Dr Z was the doctor they had in mind!!!httpscolon-2forwardslashes-en.wikipedia.org-forwardslash-wiki-forwardslash-Hippocratic_Oath

Pleased with services
Office staff were efficient and wait time to see Dr. Zhou was minimal. Dr. Zhou was pleasant and able explain diagnosis in easily understandable terms to a person lacking a degree in medicine. He also spent more time with me than I was expecting, to explain his thoughts and was thorough with his examination. The office followed up the following day with x-ray results and again, the staff was pleasant to speak with. Thank you!

Professional & empathetic, trustworthy!
Dr Zhou is always professional, listens and hears me. He asks pertinent questions, offers great advice and takes care of referrals on my behalf. He's kind and engaged during our visits. Following 15 years suffering pain, fatigue, etc., he diagnosed the cause as fibromyalgia after years of labs with other providers showed no autoimmune antibodies. He offered an alternative to pharmaceuticals which ALWAYS have side affects. The compound low dose naltrexone I was aware of prior to my appt was offered has given my poor body tremendous relief and I'm forever grateful to Dr Zhou.

Dr. Zhou is very intelligent and a thinker. Unlike many doctors, he listens and is a diagnostician. He tries to figure out the problem rather than just relying a bunch of test results.
