I had Dr. Zakaib for my ablation earlier this summer. His professionalism, compassion, and over all care and concern for my well being is A1. Very lucky that Dr. Saxena referred him to me.

Dr. Zakaib oversaw my care at Allina for Atrial Flutter. His team was very thorough , compassionate, friendly and very professional. A few years ago, what his team did for me would be called a miracle. Today is is called exceptional medical care.

Outstanding MD and individual. Extremely qualified, the best bedside manner you will ever find in a Doctor, takes whatever time is required to ensure patient is treated properly, understands what was done and discussed, and answeres any questions the patient may have. 5 STAR

Dr. Zakaib is very thorough and does not jump into treatments that may not work. He listened to my explanations of my symptoms, was sympathetic and very professional. My condition resulted in an ablation procedure and I don't have one single complaint. I am convinced there is no better Dr. for this field than Dr. John Zakaib, and I know he saved my life.
