November 10, 2025Bethany T.Verified patient
The office is too far away from where I live. Unfortunately, I waited for about an hour and a half before I was seen.

December 11, 2022Alison W.Verified patient
I arrived at 4:09 for a 4:30 appt. There were 7 patients waiting. One of the patients rescheduled their appointment and left. At 4:30 I asked the patient next to me how long she had been waiting. She said her appt was originally at 2:30 and then they pushed it to 3:30. She had made it early because she had a bit of a drive and didn't like driving in the dark; it was dark by then. I asked and received a refund for my copay and left.

The doctor is amazing and knowledgeable, great bed side manner. His assistant great as well. He treated my symptoms and provided every test possible to ease my mind. He reassured me all is good. The office can use a a makeover , that doesn’t bother me. I’m there for his knowledge.

March 17, 2025Oliver L.Verified patient
very competent, professional, and knowledgeable doctor. I was very impressed and saw many patients in waiting room so he must have a lot of them which is a good sign that people want and trust him. receptionist/nurse was also superb.
March 6, 2025Rev. John T.Verified patient
Doctor and P.A. very courteous and professional and knowledgeable. They listened to my concerns and took care of issues in a caring and efficient manner. They were very accommodating of my schedule as to the appointment and subsequent recommended procedures.

I liked the staff and location. The office is very “old school” feeling complete with a tube tv in the waiting room. It’s also in an older building. I think it could put people off because it’s not “sterile white” like the hospital, but I thought it was adequate since I was there for a stress test and echocardiogram - not surgery or sickness. I felt the doctor was thorough and direct, which I also appreciated.

The staff were friendly and welcoming.
January 15, 2025Rexford A.Verified patient
The office staff is very friendly and went out of their way to help me as I'm having surgery and I'm under a time clock to get clearance from the doctor. The wait for him was a little long, but I understand that doctors are very busy and was grateful that he could see me as soon as he did on the calendar. Overall a great experience with Dr. Zaim .
January 14, 2025Diana C.Verified patient
The office space needed to be updated and was a bit run down, but I found it quirky rather than off-putting. Both the doctor and Karen, his assistant, were terrific to deal with. The doctor was knowledgeable and explained the issues clearly. The office is an hour away, but it is worth the effort to get there.

July 31, 2024Tinker M.Verified patient
Dated building and short on signage - park in the back and walk up the ramp, not the stairs. Office is a bit cluttered and dated too, but more than made up for by the wonderfully friendly& helpful nurse who checked me in and ran my ekg. Dr. Zaim arrived an hour after my appt time, but he has a great bedside manner and was efficient!

Professionalism and knowledgeable staff
June 30, 2024Francis O.Verified patient
The office manager was warm and friendly. There was a time of reading material which offset the unexpected wait time. The doctor was friendly and took his time to listen and explain things. I also appreciated how thorough he was.
April 11, 2024Rachel W.Verified patient
The office manager Karen was very friendly.Dr.Zaim was a very nice doctor.

March 13, 2024Courtney F.Verified patient
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Dr. Zaim was kind and helpful with letting me know how to move forward with getting what I needed checked out.
January 11, 2024Madeline B.Verified patient
I booked this appointment on a Sunday evening, and I was seen on The following Wednesday. The office called me ahead of time to confirm my online booking appointment and answer all of my questions prior to my appointment. The front desk staff was Incredibly kind and very helpful. My wait time was non existent, I was taken back immediately after signing in. Within minutes my concerns and questions were addressed with the nurse, my vitals were taken, and within 10 minutes of being in the room I was seen by the doctor. I had a followup scheduled before u even left the patient room. If you're looking for a "small town" doctor vibe I highly recommend. If you get anxiety going to a doctors office with bright sterile overhead lights, this office has a more intimate vibe.

Excellent Doc! He is quite knowledgeable and gave me and my husband several options of care. His office staff is also fantastic! Karen was kind and didn't judge us for being fat people. The office is a little dated but it was clean.
March 15, 2023Teanna A.Verified patient
Not a bad experience. The office was kind of cluttered and messy but the staff was nice. I was surprised that I was not asked about my diet at all when it has so much to do with cardiac health. But I got what I went there for and in an efficient manor so it was what I was looking for. The doctor and staff all were friendly and helpful.

Looking for a provider on zocdoc is a real deal. Very easy process to get an appointment with a doctor no hassle at talking to staff and arguing with dates or hours. I tried to call a doctor on my own and couldn't get any appointment for three months. But, with Zocdoc I got an appointment within two to three days. Thanks Zocdoc.
