The only problem I had is that I received the bill the same day I was there and I have to check into it, but I have Medicare as insurance and no one in the office told me they don't accept Medicare, so I was surprised to get a bill the same day that I was there. That's it.

DR ZHAO IS THE MOST PLEASANT AND EASY TO LIKE DOCTOR THAT I HAVE EVER MET. ALL OF STAFF RADIATE THE SAME PERSONALITY. IF I COULD GIVE HIM AND THEM 10 STARS, I WOULD WANT TO RAISE THE SCORE TO 1,000 STARS! EVERYTHING ELSE - OFFICE, CLEANLINESS, PUNCTUALITY, ETC. IS OUTSTANDING.

Yes, I said it was a virtual visit, but it was not. I went in person and the doctor couldn't be nicer. The staff is very professional and very pleased with my first time visit there. And he's a wonderful doctor and the staff is wonderful as well. So I did go into the office. I didn't have a virtual. Thank you.

Thorough, Kind, and Professional Surgeon I had a very positive experience with Dr. Zhao. From the beginning, he was thorough, kind, and highly professional. He took the time to explain my surgery in detail and made sure I understood every part of the process. I never felt rushed-he was patient and answered all of my questions with care. His calm and confident approach put me at ease, and I truly felt I was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Zhao to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate surgeon.

I needed to consult with a neurosurgeon about my condition and Dr Zhao sought me out when I was briefly hospitalized, introduced himself and invited me to to see him a week later. This meeting was to review an MRI and he was very clear, patient and answered all concerns.

The Doctor was knowledgeable, reassuring, and interconnecting, with me, the patient as a person. I greatly appreciate the entire exchange with everyone in the office. Receptionist, and all other professionals. Thank you very much for the very pleasing experience. Be well.
