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 thorough.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Zats and would highly recommend her services. I came to her looking for a nonsurgical option for my Achilles injury, and she took the time to explain stem cell treatment, what I could realistically expect, and what the recovery process would involve. From the beginning, she was patient, knowledgeable, attentive, and had an excellent bedside manner. I never felt rushed, and she made sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. So far, the treatment seems to be paying off, and I’m very pleased with the progress I’ve made. I’m especially grateful that she provided me with an alternative to surgery and an opportunity to allow my body to heal in a less invasive way. If you’re considering regenerative or nonsurgical treatment options, I would highly recommend Dr. Zats. I’m very thankful for the care I received and hopeful about my continued progress!
She is very professional and kind.

I love Dr. Zats she is spunky, she’s knows her stuff, she’s quick, caring and everything she has instructed me to do has worked.
I went to four other doctors before I booked a appointment with Dr.Zats, That’s we everything changed,, my condition improved & I’m on a road of healing, ( based on my mri) Thank you so much Dr.Zats!!!!
