Dr Zahner, an extraordinary and true professional for anything joint (Knee) related. He performs surgery with great precision and concerns for proper outcomes and his office personnel are exceptional too. A very empathetic doctor whose diagnosis, prognosis and treatment shows the knowledgeable professional he aims to be!
Aug-2023
Dr Zahner explains your medical problem, what the plan is to help you heal, and options if any. He has an excellent "bedside manner."
Aug-2023
would of given a five but he is kind of rude when talking and explaining things
Aug-2023
He was very nice and explained things clearly and answered all my questions
Aug-2023
Professional and takes the time to listen to your needs.
Aug-2023
I felt as though as soon as I mentioned a chiropractor, Dr. Zahner shut down and dismissed what I was saying. I have pain in various places and he was only focused on my back. I didn't even have the opportunity to discuss my knees and the hip pain that prevents me from sleeping was dismissed. I'm quite disappointed with the visit and felt it was a waste of my time and money. The only good thing was that I was able to get a referral to PT which I wanted and I was able to confirm I do not have any anatomical issues in my hip.
Aug-2023
He is a good person to represent your business
Jun-2023

Apr-2023
I don’t think he did anything. he really didn’t discuss anything with me he didn’t mention any medication because of my serious pain. I’m actually disappointed they move you like cattle to the slaughterhouse much to long
Apr-2023
Dr Zahner has been my ortho for over 10 years. Knees never felt better I am 71. He is also a great guy besides a De .
Apr-2023
His whole process is so dialed in! You are given a road map and made to understand every step along the way. I am 1 week + 1 day from surgery and so far, so good!
Apr-2023
Did not listen to what I said, stated he didn’t believe me, interrupted me and talked over me

2 or 3 minute visit. No remedies or pain relief. No solution to original or recenlty diagnosed problems.

Very professional and informative
Mar-2020
Dr. Zahner doesn't like to be asked questions about his surgery procedures, and instead told me I was free to go elsewhere for my hip surgery. I was told by my own primary physician and other medical professionals that Dr. Zahner is a very competent doctor, but that he has zero personality and is a dick head, which he showed me today.
Mar-2020
Very nice man very helpful.
Mar-2020
Nice, friendly and helpful!
Mar-2020
He's very good, Shannon was great too
Feb-2020
I seen him before for my FOOT I thought I was getting a doctor that Specialize in hips. And as the same with my feet there is nothing wrong with hip. But in the mean time I'm in pain with no explanation!!!!!! Its a shame that no doctor wants to help or even listen. They always make me feel like I'm just looking for pain meds.

Dr Zahner was very professional and knowledgeable from the moment I met him
I was unaware I needed a hip replacement, but once it was determined, Dr Zahner took me under his wing and gave me the best care
He was able to explain the medical reasons for my condition in a manner for non -medical person could understand. He was extremely thorough explaining all non-surgical and surgical options and together we put together a plan
I highly recommend Dr Zahner!
Jan-2020
on time pleasant demeanor and good sat explaining options!
Jan-2020
The doctor didn’t focus on my visit he was saying I don’t have insurance so he can’t do nothing for me he kept repeating that. Well if I have money and I don’t need Insurance what’s the big deal with that.

Denied other medical diagnosis that I received from a radiologist in my x-Ray without looking at the particular x-ray or even bothering to look at the body part it was pertaining to.
Also instructed me to, “stop exercising”. What doctor does that
Sep-2019
Awesome doctor
Sep-2019
Dr. Zahner was polite but perfunctory and told me I had arthritis in my knee but did not address the extreme pain I had when I first injured it. He presented his diagnosis of arthritis as if there had been no injury at all.
Sep-2019
He is an excellent and knowledgable physician.
Sep-2019
Dr. Zahner is awesome
Aug-2019
He was a bit short, I felt like I was wasting his time.

Nice and caring physicians.

Fine testing of knee for any serious residual damage. Felt a little rushed. No investigation into regular physical and sports activities other than the gym exercises I brought up.

I saw Dr Z for a shoulder AC Separation not much he could do for me but advise me to rest avoid certain activities and use IBF.

Diagnosis likely accurate but spent 5 minutes, didn't give much time for questions, and had terrible bedside manner.

Jun-2019
Top notch
Jun-2019
I saw him for ONE minute and he was chewing his breakfast. In my professional world, that is totally inappropriate. CRAIG is fabulous. I am so happy he was my contact!!
Jun-2019
I’m from California visiting my sister and my shoulder was killing me. Dr Zahner is my sister’s doctor and he is very professional and gave me a cortisone shot in my shoulder. I would recommend him to anyone!

Quickly explained likely problem and strategy to address it.
Jun-2019
Very nice guy. He explained the process very good. I’m glad he was my surgeon.
Jun-2019
This rating is for Dr. Zahner and not his assistant Craig. Craig has always been outstanding. I will take up my dissatisfaction over the past nine months with my total knee replacement with the company’s manager. I have much to say.
