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.
