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. Z. So down to earth. He makes you feel relaxed, heard and takes his time to make you feel like you matter. His demeanor is amazing and I could not ask for anything more. The entire team at BMG is amazing and has been for my ten years going there!

First visit
I made the appointment at the request of my kidney specialist. She had seen a few things on one of my blood tests and thought I should have it checked out with hematology and oncology. As soon he walked he assured me there was no cancer involved . That was a huge relief for me. I then asked some questions and answered them so I understood. He had a good down to earth personality and I would recommend him to anyone.

High score for ethics
I was referred for assessment of some abnormal blood work results. Dr. Zielinski reviewed my records and the test results, and then notified me and the referring doctor that the results were not significant. He sould have done this at an office visit and received payment, but he chose to spare me the cost and inconvenience, and provided his assessment without any payment.

Great doctor who values his patients
Dr. Zielinski always takes the time during my office appointments to go over and explain my lab results. He listens attentively to my health concerns and answers all my questions clearly and concisely. Dr. Zielinski also responds so quickly when I reach out to him on the patient portal with any additional questions I might have forgotten to ask during my office visit. He is a kind and understanding medical professional. He has a great personality and is a pleasure to talk to as well. His office staff are also so friendly and efficient. Great medical practice.

great doc
He takes his time and answers questions honestly and doesn't prescribe a lot of meds just because big pharma pushes them.
