Upon entering the doctors office, we were greeted with smiling faces and it continued throughout the entire visit. Dr Zidar never seemed rushed at all during my visit and he discussed, in detail, all aspects of my carotid artery as well as my entire health. Was very impressed. Well worth the drive from Rocky Mount, NC .

Dr. Zidar and team took excellent care of me after my valve replacement. I feel much better and am so elated and blessed to have been able to be a candidate for this procedure.

Very caring doctor and staff, I had a bad experience with surgery on the opposite side of my neck, resulting in vocal cord paralysis, which is probably permanent, done by a doctor at a different facility. This stent proceedure has no bad effects. I would not consider surgery if I had known the possible side effects.
