I enjoyed meeting Michael Duerkes, very informative
Dr. Zook was very personable and down to earth; yet, knowledgeable and able to answer my questions. I've heard excellent things about him, as well!
Kind, listened to what was wrong and is doing testing, medicine and physical therapy to help me. So thankful that I was not brushed off and my problem was taken seriously.
Dr. Zook provided me with a solution that should help prolong me from having to have shots or surgery on my neck. Thank you Dr Zook
He is very personable, and caring. I would recommend him to everyone that has any back issues.
