Always great -- good listener, does not rush me when I'm telling him about concerns, explains everything clearly in an easy to understand manner, always professional but easy to talk to. Oh, also.. I think he's bright and a great doctor.

Dr. Zielinski has been my PCP for ~20 years. I keep going back to him because he’s available, listens to all of my questions, addresses my fears and educates me on what I’ve got going on. Or more importantly what I do NOT have going on. He speaks clearly and without jargon and provides easy to follow instructions after visits. When I do what Dr. Z tells me to do, my health improves. I have referred several people to Dr. Zielinski over the years and would continue to do so were he still taking on new patients.

Quite simply, he is the best physician I have ever had. He is bright, compassionate, comprehensive, and explains fully, treatment option costs/benefits! He should be the 'role model' for all of the physicians you employ or affiliate with.

Dr. Zielinski has a comforting and nonjudgmental approach to every situation. I am always at ease and comfortable broaching any topic or concern. I appreciate his attention to healthy lifestyle check ins before going directly to pharmaceuticals.
