Dr. Zalatimo and his staff were the first doctors office that actually listened to me and spent time explaining everything to me and my family. We felt very comforted and would refer him to anyone who has back or neck problems.

He did not rush me to surgery. We tried physical therapy, injections, medications. When those did not work, we agreed on surgery. My neck surgery was 2 months ago and I already feel like my old self again!

Called the office several times and was on hold for over 15 min. Once the line rang to the office the staff answer the phone and hang up. I think customer service is very important I am calling for a patient and cannot get through. This is very unprofessional.
