“I booked on zoc doc but when I got to the office, I had no appointment. They were really good about it. I confirmed with a screen shot of my appt. Staff was nice and the doctor was the best. He was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. He addressed my concerns before I even asked. I left the office really happy. I would recommend over and over.”

“The employees clearly communicated with me. There was a long wait time before i was called in for my initial assessment though.
In my next assessment though the employees didn't communicate in English , so i didn't understand what they were saying to each other.”

I attended a funeral that went longer than expected. I called to say I was running late but the office accommodated my visit with no delay at all. The office staff and support staff were exceptional. The movement from one test to another was seamless due to the teamwork of the support staff, each one providing me with their full attention. Dr Shlecter (forgive my misspelling) was as attentive as he was thorough. I am extremely confident in his abilities. This was not my first visit there and the previous visits were exactly the same, outstanding!

When I got there the staff was unaware of my appointment even though I got an email. I never received a call before the appointment so I had to then reschedule with their office for a later date.

I had excellent service and felt at ease. Apart from the long wait time (the doctor had a lot of patients), which is good but it felt like forever. I patiently waited and it was worth the wait. The doctor was a professional, experienced, and explained things clearly so that I could understand. I felt heard and respected as a patient. Overall, I felt good about my diagnosis. I highly recommend!!
