I have been seeing Dr. Z for several years. Sometimes I do have to wait to see him but I know why. He doesn't just push you through. He actually takes the time to discuss the medications he uses and why. This is why I sometimes have to wait because he may take longer than expected but won't push you out because he needs to stay on schedule. He is professional, caring, knowledgeable and friendly. Has a great bed side manner. His staff is helpful and friendly. I wouldn't go any where else.

Dr. Z has left the Lawton office and there is a new Dr. There that is totally NOT THE ONE!!! I need to FIND WHERE DR. Z IS. I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE TO MAKE A 7 hour drive, he's totally worth it!! He took care of me and my child and took the time to figure out which combination of meds worked best for us... new Dr. Arrives, rips everything up, put my child on new and dIfferent meds and now my child is having involuntsry

Ive been seeing Dr. Z now for 4 months and I cant belive no one pointed me in his direction sooner. Hes absolutly caring while reaming quite frank. Dr.z's diagnosis was on point and the treatment plan was tailored to me. Ive had drs that throw scripts at you and push you out the door. this was not the case. I will say the average wait time is anywhere from 1-3hrs as he is only in Lawton 2 days a month.

We have used Dr Z for 2.5 years. He has managed the treatment of all four children we have had in our home. We are very pleased and would recommend him.

I would definitely recommend this Dr. to anyone in the Lawton/Ft. Sill area. I have had several drs throughout the years and he is the only one that seems to be able to ask pointed questions to gauge exactly how I am doing without wasting a ton of time. I am usually in and out of his office very quickly and always feel assured leaving that he hasn't missed anything that I might have needed/wanted to talk about. He is very efficient and I wish I would've found him sooner.
