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.

I wouldn't let this doctor operate on my dog he clipped a nerve and left me with severe nerve damage and he told me not to come back after 6weeks check up because there was nothing more he could do. I have seen 8different doctors since being in disability because of him I also have neuropathy in hands and feet.he should stop operating

Excellent
Dr Zitnay did both of my surgeries and it was the best decision I made. I highly recommend him and bed side manners were amazing, he is one of the best dr’s I’ve been to. Follow up care was great as well. I have given him as a referral to anyone with back issues, as I was in tears daily with pain up until I seen him and still today my back feels great. Thank you dr zitnay

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT DR. ZITNAY. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE (MAJOR) WITH MY TAILBONE. I COULD NOT SIT DOWN WITHOUT IT HURTING. I COULD NOT SLEEP BECAUSE IT HURT. I WENT TO DR. Z. AND HE REMOVED MY TAILBONE. I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER CARE. HE TOOK FANTASTIC CARE OF ME AND I WOULD LIKE TO CALL HIM AN ANGEL!! I AM NOW PAIN FREE AND CAN SIT DOWN WITH EASE, THANKS TO DR. Z.

Avoid!!! Avoid!!! Avoid!! Post surgery care is non existent. He rushed to do surgery. Totally misled the patient as to expected after surgery results. Office does not return phone calls. Absolutely zero concern for the patient post surgery.

I've never heard of a doctor, especially a surgeon, who doesn't have after hour calls. You are told by an operator to go to the ER or call the office on Monday. Poor care and follow up.

Dr. Zitnay performed surgery on my back with great success. No pain other than my hip. His bedside manor is the best. I would recommend him for your surgery needs.

Dr. Zitnay did surgery on my neck. He did a great job! I can't say enough good things about him. My pain is totally gone. After surgery there was no need for pain medication. I am so glad that I chose a local doctor and didn't listen to all that said I should go to Pittsburgh. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Zitnay.

Dr. Zitnay operated on both my neck and back. I had chronic pain for over 10 years and tried everything. After two surgeries I have a nearly pain free life. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Zitnay.
