Dr. Zate has treated my chronic back pain due to spinal stenosis for several years now. As the condition has changed over those years, he has taken the time to listen to my symptoms as they have changed, and responded with updated treatment based on updated imaging of my lumbar spine. He never cuts short on the time he has given me to explain where he sees the problem, and where he believes we should best treat the symptoms. I believe his approach in involving the patient in the diagnostic procedure is what has given me the best result in a changing medical condition. I highly recommend Dr Zate for spinal pain management.
You can tell he cares excellent explains and ask for questions so you know exactly your situation
Explained his observations well, nicely low-key and approachable.
Dr. Zate is the BEST of the best!
