Dr. Zarling is kind, very professional and knowledgeable. I've seen him several times mostly for injections, he is always gentle.
I barely know when he's giving me the injection. I also believe he genuinely cares for his patients. My respect and appreciation began on my 1st visit. After seeing my knee xrays, surgery was Not his 1st suggestion, he actually offered 3 different options and was supportive of my choice.

May-2023
I understand that this MD is a contract surgeon. He did surgery on my mom and came to talk with us immediately afterward in the surgery waiting area. And we never saw him or any other orthopedic dr her entire stay post-op. The site started bleeding with clots and still no surgeon ever saw her. She did however see medicine doctors. Since this is not their specialty it wasn't adequate. My mom was discharged to a rehab.without seeing a surgeon. No wound care orders were given, no pain meds were ordered and no follow up with surgeon. This hospital is not a place for contracted MD's. They have poor care practices with a lot of traveling nurses. And as I told Dr. Zarling it's a accident waiting to happen. My mom is 90 years old and she was a strong independent woman she hurt so bad post-op she was crying. This hurt so bad. It took over a hour to get her medication
May-2023
He seemed genuinely interested in helping me.

Great doctor! He cares about his patients and has top notch skills. He explains all details and listens to the patient!
Laid back and very easy to communicate with. Explained options understandably.
Didn’t appreciate waiting 1.5 hours to see the doctor but once I met him I felt assured he knows what he’s doing. Looking forward to his recommend treatment
Waited 30 mins for my scheduled appt.

Dr Zarling was very thorough and patient answering all my questions about my diagnosis. So thankful that I was referred to him!
