Dr. Zakko was so knowledgeable, personable and trusting. He answered so many questions for us and we are confident he can help me with my back pain.
Wait time was minimal. Reception was excellent. Dr Zakko was very responsive to my needs and answered all my questions and concerns.
I’m very happy with my visit
He was rude and had no interest about me or what I was going thru. He said go see PT in York and have them call me and I’ll give them a referral. He never told me what I could do and what I should not do. You’ll be better in 6 to 12 weeks. Then he said I should have an MRI. I will never him again. I will get a referral from my primary physician and have PT. By the way the rest of the staff I dealt with were excellent.
He’s very personable, informative and patient with all my questions.
Great communicator to make sure you’re comfortable
Very nice & knowledgeable.
Dr Zakko was very nice, and he was very helpful in discussing my spinal issues and my concerns.
Excellent care and concern. Never feel rushed.
He's the best!!
