Dr. Michael Zakem, DO

Dr. Zakem is highly recommended and respected (myself included) but he gave us no hope whatsoever and he was negative in every aspect of our conversation. He did not seem to understand the relationship between myself and my mother, nor did he seem to care. I felt like he was becoming impatient with my questions. We will seek second opinion despite his negative attitude in that regard.

Dr. Zakem's attitude toward my little sister, as my Mom's caregiver, at today's visit was absolutely unnecessary. His skills as an oncologist may be spot on, but his bedside manner towards the caregivers needs a little work.

I am my mother's primary care giver, and I was trying to explain to him some of the symptoms I have been noticing. He looked straight at me and told me to shut my mouth. Very displeased with this doctor.

More than 10yrs of care with Dr Zakem. Has always been caring and attentive to my concerns. Explains things very well.
