Listen, when your calf is swollen, your nerve is being held hostage by your own body, and you fall down in the parking lot like a toddler learning to walk, you need a doctor that is alert and attentive even though they’ve been bone sawing all morning in the OR. Dr. Zarling walked in with a smile, and treated me like I was his first patient of the day. I don’t know what this man is running on - caffeine? Hope? Orthopedic wizardry? He was patient, compassionate, personable, explained things w/o using 15 syllable words, and had a sense of humor. If you’re in pain and looking for an orthopedic surgeon with skill and a good heart, this is your guy. 10/10 would let him fix my leg again. Or my arm. Or whatever I inevitably damage doing trying to walk across a room.
