Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Zellner is an excellent physician. He has a great personality. He is caring and considerate. His staff is friendly and courteous. He has taken care of my entire family over the years including lasik surgery on my son which gave him better than 20/20 vision. I recommend him highly.

Cataract surgery:Dr. Zellner felt I would not need anesthesia. Imagine? Of course I did and the doctor was not in my insurance plan which left me with unnecessary bills. More importantly, after the surgery I felt the nerves in my face pulling for months and my vision made me imbalanced. Though the cataract was taken care of, my reading ability was compromised. I could no longer read labels, newspapers, etc. Now I wear reading glasses. The recovery was lengthy and difficult. Expect problems.

Dr zellner is careless and an reckless. In 2012 my 80 year old father had cataract surgery on his left eye which Dr zellner insisted he have his vision was good the day before his surgery the day after he had terrible pain and had a complete loss of vision days after the surgery do not trust your eyes to this Dr.
