Dr. Ziglar has been wonderful to work with for more than five years. I trust that when I see her she will have reviewed my case including any new tests, she will listen to me and my concerns very closely, and she will talk with me, as an equal, to come up with the best treatment plan. She is a consummate practitioner.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Dr. Ziglar as she is not typically in the Frederick office on Mondays. She quickly assessed my situation and ordered x-rays to be taken. She shared the results on the screen with me, ordered an MRI and another consult. She was very empathetic with my pain and agreed with the medications my PCP had prescribed.

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! Dr Ziglar is a great (prompt and effective) communicator with other providers which makes her an appreciated team player!
