Doctor didn’t listen to me when I was explaining what brought me in. I have been dealing with hip pain for over 7 years and it started when I was in prime shape. Instead of listening to me be told me to lose weight and let’s try another injection.

May-2024
Schedules 6 patients in the same time slot. Also sees new patients with post-op. Disorganized with time. Post op patients and returning patients do not require the same amount of time. Dr. Zaltz is a very proud surgeon and would not listen to the fact that my main problem was there before any prior surgeries. He continued to come into every appointment blaming arthroscopy on my pain. I stopped arguing with him. Wasn’t worth my time.
May-2024
Simply excellent, he's the best

A master of his craft. I have treated with Dr Zaltz for years and he is now treating my son. I can’t begin to express the confidence I have knowing my sons care is in the hands of Dr Zaltz.
Feb-2023
Very thorough. Appreciative of the fact that he sent my daughter for imaging to rule out any issue with her hip, even though during the physical exam there was no evidence of such. .
Feb-2023
Dr. Zaltz has changed my life. After years of increasing pain and discomfort and not knowing what was going on, I learned I had Hip Dysplasia. Diagnosed by another ortho Dr. and given Dr. Zaltz’s name, I came to see him because I was not able to manage the pain through therapy and physical activity and was only getting worse. Not only has he been patient and informative, He detected my dysplasia was the result of a more rare genetic disorder by looking at my X-Rays. The more I learned about it, the more things made sense with my body. I also learned where it came from in my family history and how it’s effected family members who had never heard of it. AMAZING.
Dr. Zaltz did an amazing job with my surgery, him and his staff has always answered my questions and responded to my portal messages promptly and respectfully. I can’t say enough good things about how he’s treated me throughout this whole life changing experience.
Thank you, thank you so very much, Dr. Zaltz and MOS staff

Awesome doctor
Dec-2022
I don’t trust doctors very much at all . Constantly on edge , stressed out with severe anxiety every time I have to take a day off work for an appointment. In my experience it seems as if their just trying to shove pills or shots in me with no real solutions. Just shove me to the next doctor after they get what money they can get out of me . Dr zaltz and staff is honestly the only doctor I’ve seen in the last year where I was comfortable, informed and felt I was finally on the right path for treatment of my hip . You can honestly see and feel like he actually truly cares for his patients. The man was 100% genuine as well as his P.A . Keep up the good work dr zaltz and company!
Dec-2022

I just wanted to say thank you for your honesty today and letting me know what the best course of action is as far as not recommending surgery. I'm thankful to at least know what's going on with my hip even if it's not something that's really fixable. At least now I know what to expect for the future and I super appreciate everything.

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Zaltz since 2016 when he performed a PAO and Femoral osteotomy on her right leg. He has been great at explaining her condition to us and spends time talking to our daughter so she understands. We wouldn’t trust her hip to anyone else.

Friendly, did not feel rushed, pleasant demeanor, and shook our hands upon entering and leaving the room.
Sep-2022
I heard such good things about you but my experience was the opposite. I’ve never left a doctor’s office in tears
made to feel so unimportant and so disregarded and judged. You say you are sorry but it is clear you don’t really mean it. Bedside manner of more than just a handshake and a smile.
Sep-2022
Fast, accurate, and confident.
Sep-2022
He says there's nothing he can do for me because of I have no legs but I can't walk with my Prosthetics because I'm in so much pain in my right hip but there's nothing he can do for me
Sep-2022
He is nice doctor
Sep-2022
EXCEPTIONAL clinically and interpersonally - very rare to get both. #1 for any/all hip and related issues. Greatful to have his talent and skill in our immediate area. I know patients travel from all over the US to see him.
Sep-2022

Dr. Zaltz was able to quickly and accurately diagnose me with bilateral hip dysplasia at the age of 27. After exhausting non-surgical options for treatment, Dr. Zaltz performed both of my PAO surgeries. Both surgeries went smoothly, and I am now in ZERO pain, and back to my regular exercise activities! During my treatment, Dr. Zaltz took time to get to know me and my husband, and was always extremely attentive to my many questions. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Dr Zaltz is a fantastic doctor! We have been blessed to have him in our corner throughout or hip dysplasia journey. He has been incredible with our daughter since her diagnosis. He is caring, genuine, detail oriented, CONFIDENT and a leader in his field. Praying he stays practicing until my daughter is in her adult years! He actually promised he would, no pressure. I can’t imagine her seeing anyone else.
Feb-2022
Dr. Zaltz was great. He saw our son on short notice and gave us great feedback during our visit. He also was comforting to us and made my wife, son, and myself all laugh during a scary time, which we appreciated. He was decisive and clear in what procedure our son needed and we are grateful to have been able to see him so quickly. Our son wil begin his path to recover in a couple days. Thank you Dr. Zaltz!

Dr. Zaltz is one of two doctors in my life that cares about me and my desire to keep walking. I live in Chicago and he is still willing to talk to me and to convince other doctors to try and help me. The medical profession has utterly failed adults with cerebral palsy, but Dr. Zaltz is out there trying to help. He is so smart and kind. I always believe his advice because ge is honest even when I wish there was a better answer. He is a real doctor.
