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.

Very understanding and listened to my concerns. Explained to me in layman’s terms as.to what was causing my foot problems!
The Dr.came into the room and seemed agitated that I refused to have a x ray. I explained that I forgot to bring on another day and that I can reschedule for another day. She then explained that her exam would be limited which I understood. She asked why didn't I follow up with urgent care Dr. I simply said I was in a lot of pain and urgent care is for immediate care. I also told her I followed up with primary MD and was provided referral and now that the problem has resolved with steroids and rest. I wanted to know how to prevent reoccurring of pain. Her tone and bedside manner was unprofessional and I thought she was very rude and argumentative. She spoke in a very demeanor way.which made me feel disrespected .
Doctor Zats was great! She was so kind and explained everything very thoroughly. She made you feel very comfortable and she absolutely gave off the impression that she loves what she does! Highly recommend
