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.

I began seeing Dr. Zats this year. Throughout each appointment, I was treated with compassion, and my concerns were addressed with the utmost importance.
Exceptional visit. Provided a clear and understandable review of my medical issues. I Did not feel rushed.
She is so upbeat and friendly! Explained everything very well. Highly recommend!
She was very cordial and understanding. She explained my situation to me showing a lot of knowledge on her behalf. I felt very comfortable speaking with her. I would recommend others to her.
She seems to be very knowledgeable about foot issues. I’d recommend her.
Great doctor!
She was kind she was understanding and she explained everything very well. Thank you for everything.
Great experience
Dr. Zats did not seem interested in listening to my concerns. Was dismissive of my opinion on the recovery plan which she failed to explain in detail as she left before I was done asking questions. I left the clinic with a lot of unanswered questions and not feeling confident about the recovery plan. Had to see my primary doctor for a better explanation of the MRI findings and reasons behind the recovery plan. What difference dealing with someone that actually cares. Not once did Dr. Zats ask me how I was feeling, if I was struggling moving around or in any pain. My experience with the rest of the staff was pleasant. Unfortunately I will not be returning to this facility.
Very knowledgeable, very efficient and very nice.
