Excellent doctor. VERY thorough exams, detailed explanations of exam results and treatment, if any, and always provides follow-up communications. A waiting list for new patients!

Dr Zavelo is always there for me. He is caring & professional. He will do what it takes to find out what the cause of your problem is. I have never felt like he didn't care. He even calls to check up on you.

I have been a patient for about 15 years and have always been treated respectfuly. He is very honest and upfront, while being very compassionate. Makes you feel very comfortable as soon as you meet him. A very dry sense of humor which is very calming. Genuinely cares and wants to get to the bottom of whaat ever hou come to him for. Actually returns calls and calls himself!! Sometimes the wait time can be a little long but once yu are with him he does not rush with you, he takes the time he needs to help each patient. I would recommend family members and friends happily
