I have been Dr. Ziglar’s patient for over eight years. My experience with Dr. Ziglar has been excellent: she is a good listener, caring, and has very kind manners. Dr. Ziglar is very organized and has an effective skill to compile patient’s medical history, updated test results, patient’s reported medical updates, and make effective decisions regarding the treatment!
