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.

Finally!!!
Finally a MD who showed some concerns and took the appropriate steps to finding out what was wrong with Brayla’s leg. Thank you so much for being thorough with Brayla. I hate your shift ended. Your bedside manner was great and you show that you care. Thank you for that. You need your own practice, because we would be your first patients!

Condescending jerk
Was in the er a few weeks ago for a leg issue and was advised to come back if there were any further complications and they would do imaging. Got “Dr. Z” this time and he talked to me like I was wasting his time and was rushing to get me out. He could care less about patients, just a cattle herder rushing people through without taking the time to listen to their concerns much less treat them. If it’s not visually obvious, he does have time for it.

I went to the ER yesterday and could not have had better care. Dr. Z made me feel extremely comfortable, took an interest in my condition, and had excellent bedside manners. I have not been treated so we'll by another physician in nearly 20 years.

My daughter came home from college in February with an angry stomach. We visited our GI doc and were sent to the ER. Doctor Z and staff were fantastic. All labs, scans etc were completed very quickly. Surgery the next day but could not ask for better care from the whole process. GI doc, ER, radiology, anesthesiology, and surgeon and nurses. Thank you Texas Health.

I do not recommend this ER physician and if he walks into your room, please request someone else! He provides poor care that will only cause you more problems!

My mom has a chronic illness,is under-insured, and has a hard time finding specialist resulting in ER visits. DR. "Z" has seen her several times per his records. He seemed agitated by this, his tone was condescending. He and my mom discussed an antibiotic he was prescribing, when there was no script she called the ER & was told he never said anything about an antibiotic, but if she thought she needed one to see her PC; she only thought she needed one b/c he said he was prescribing!

Stuck in the "insurance" game I have been forced on occasion to visit the ER. Having several health issues I have various symptoms at any given time. However, I am not Dr. shopping or ER hopping. Because I have been to the ER, actually 3 hospitals near my home, I have on occasion been to all of them, over time, hoping I will eventually get a Dr. that has answers for me. However, Dr. Zatkalik has made me feel like a criminal and still no answers! I do not recommend this jerk to anyone!
