DR. ZINK- Your abilities are unmatched. I want to thank you from bottom of my heart. Surgeons like you are not just doctors, but real life-savers. Your personal touch and willingness to spend time with your patients is a welcome trait for those you are treating. I feel most fortunate to have you as my husbands physician. Thank you very much for your excellent care and exceptional professional abilities. When it comes to answering questions, giving support, and giving medical advice, you are the best. Thank you again for keeping my husband in your thoughts before, during, and after his hospitalization. The best doctors understand patients and their responsibility better than any privilege. Thank you for being one of them. RESPECTFULLY, WENDI GARCIA ELISONDO

Dr. Zink is a distinctively brilliant surgeon and diagnostician. He took great care of my husbands leg that was severely infected, and spared him from amputation. He did two surgeries, and was very thorough. He called me before and after both surgeries, explained procedures, and took time to listen, and addressed all questions and concerns. He truly is a genuine Doctor, he cares,we need more doctors like him.

Emergency Appendectomy— Dr. Zinc is an incredibly competent, smart, kind, and caring doctor. He takes the time to go over your case and thoroughly explain everything that’s involved. Likewise, he took the time to return phone calls after discharge when unexpected issues came up. I recommend him highly.

Saw Dr. Zinc in the ER with a acute abdomen. Promptly taken to surgery and had the laparoscopy and gall bladder surgery without incident. No complications. I am six months out from the surgery and feel better than I have felt in years.
