I love what I do and I am passionate about my patient care! I provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions, including common to complex disorders and injuries that affect people of all ages.
I specialize in surgical and non-surgical treatments of foot and ankle conditions, including heel pain, sports medicine, trauma, ankle reconstruction, diabetes, and dermatological conditions.
My path to becoming a board certified foot and ankle surgeon began when I earned my bachelor’s degree in Biology from Ohio Dominican University. I was then accepted into Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine, where I completed my Doctoral training in podiatry. Following a 3-year surgical residency at Rush University Medical Center, I passed the rigorous written and oral examination to become board certified.
My passion is to play an integral role in diagnosing early stages of diseases that exhibit warning signs in the lower extremities, such as diabetes, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. I’m also passionate about managing foot conditions which may pose an ongoing threat to a patient's overall health.
With 10 years of experience as a foot and ankle surgeon, I look forward to providing care at MidAmerica Orthopaedics.

Took the time to explain x-rays and all treatment options, involved me in the plan of care.
Knowledgeable, great listener and partner in my health. She knows her Stuff!
Dr. Zats is extremely thorough in her exams and diagnosis. She gives you the options you need to know in order to make your decision along with her best professional opinion.
This was the first time visit for me and even though I was there for ankle questions Doc spotted some other issues and guided me in the right direction.
Excellent per usual!!! Wonderful doctor!!!
Reason for the four as I thought she was coming back into my room and she went on to other patients. I had questions for her that went unanswered.
Excellent and effective doctor. Knows her job very well
Dr. Zats listened to all my concerns. She let me know about conditions that other podiatrists didn't inform me about.
She provided some new options for my neuropathy.
Appreciate her thoroughness and resolve to get the ball rolling to get the appropriate care. Once a gameplan was established, she and her staff got after getting things in place for the best treatment options.
