Excellent communicator and very personable.
He listened and showed that he understood and was caring about my concerns.
Very professionsl, knowledgeable and courteous.
I was very satisfied with my visit with Dr. Zakko. He has a pleasant demeanor about him. I especially liked the fact that he was very attentive to my particular problem and did not try to rush me. I felt he listened very carefully and asked important questions. We reviewed x-rays taken a few minutes earlier, and I appreciated his thoughts. I would recommend anyone with a persistent back problem to consult him and come up with a plan of action.
The dr was very helpful and very knowledgeable and professional
