Dr. Markos Habtay Zemede, MD

Kind, caring, genuine, thorough, easy to talk to. He's been around the world many times, I believe he volunteers in Africa, so he has a lot of perspective.

He is one of the most conscientious doctors I have ever met. He is extremely thorough and keeps up to date as to who are the best specialty doctors to refer you too.

Dr. Zemede was very thorough and thoughtful at all my appointments. It's because of his thorough exams that we were able to get preventative care for myself and husband. We are grateful for Dr. Zemede.

He is the best medical professional I've ever dealt with

Dr. Zemede is an excellent doctor and is very thorough in his examinations. He listens patiently and never seems hurried. He is also extremely kind. I have always hesitated to visit any doctor because of my weight, but I know it has to be addressed because it has such a major effect on health. When I have brought it up, Dr Zemede has been encouraging rather than critical. He is also good in his recommendations to specialists when needed.

Iâ??ve only been to Dr. Zemente several times. My lab test for cholesterol level came out high. I received a call from Dr. Zementeâ??s office to start a statin drug at a certain milligram. Being that some people get a lot of negative side effects from statins & I have never been on a statin before I asked if I could start out on a lower milligram 1st then if that doesnâ??t work go up to the higher milligram. The girl said she would have to ask Dr. Zemente & get back to me. When she called back she said the Dr. said â??noâ?? I have to take the higher milligram. Being curious, I wanted to know the reason why. Is it because my cholesterol is way too high or some other good reason? Since she said she didnâ??t know Dr. Zementeâ??s reasoning, I asked her to have the Dr. call me so I could ask him. He called me back, I asked him the question, & he told me to go find another doctor. Would it really hurt to error on the side of caution & start with the lower milligram first?? I… donâ??t know. I wouldâ??ve liked some kind of discussion w/Zemente on the pros & cons, but he didnâ??t even want to engage in discussion. His attitude is just do as I say, donâ??t ask any questions so you wonâ??t take up too much of my time or my staffâ??s time. Zemente & I arenâ??t a good match at all. I am a curious type & always have a lot of questions & feel my healthcare is collaboration between me & the doctor. I like an open communication w/the doctor & I like to feel free to ask any questions without feeling like Iâ??m taking too much of the doctorâ??s time, or the doctor thinking just because Iâ??m asking questions I think Iâ??m some kind of expert. He has shown me he is not willing to work for the best interest of his patient. Seemingly a friendly, nice, man, but a dr who must streamline his patients â??one size first allâ??, donâ??t ask any questions or ask about options; itâ??ll irritate him!

I was seen without a long wait and the doctor heard all my complaints well, ordered appropriate tests and called me with the results and got me the right medication. Now I am doing well...thank you Doc.

I wanted to transfer to his associate as I was not pleased with his bedside manner, and Dr Zemede didnt like hearing the truth from me when he asked me. Because I told him exactly how I felt but in a kind way, he did not address my problem on that day. He told me to find myself another doctor. Not ethical in the medical profession. Did he not read his medical creed.....really disappointed in him. This is my opinion.

I was diagnosed in one visit where 3 doctors could not help me in 6 months. Great doctor

I have been sreaching for a doctor to listen and not a pill pusher. I just found him. He took the time to listen and will be checking blood work every 3 month, and finally a great doctor who DOES NOT belittle me. The staff were very nice and smiled. They have a Lab which is much better so I don't need to run all over town and wait. That is a big plus. I don't mind my co-pay this visit was well worth my time. Thank you Doctor Zemede.
