Dr. Steven Zavodnick, MD

He gave me what I needed. It changed my entire life. A miracle

His specialty is psychiatric medications. If you want to talk about your mean step-mother for hours, this is not your doctor. If you are being turned inside out by depression or other psychiatric illnesses that can be effectively addressed by medication, do yourself a favor and copy down his phone number.

He’s great! If you enjoy be talked down to by a robot!

He's ok when you're feeling well , but impatient, cold and nasty if you're not. Doesn't like questions. Not forthcoming about side effects of meds. Can be nasty and sarcastic. He says it's because what he does is so hard. So retire and go fishing!

An excellent Physician. Very professional,as well as kind and caring

He's the best!!!

A Caring and lovely Doctor to me for over 25 years

Dr. Zavodnick has the bedside manner of a frozen fish. After seeing him for several months, I got the feeling that if I told him I was going up to the roof and jump off, he would ask if that meant he should cancel our next appointment.

I have been seeing psychiatrists since I was 11, I am now 63. An incredible amount of money was spent on "therapy" over a 35 year period. It was informative to know how I was impacted by my dysfunctional family. However, knowing all the dynamics didn't remove the 24/7 anxiety and depression that lasted for so many years. I saw several psychopharmacologists before seeing Dr. Zavodnick who prescribed different medications. The results weren't good due to a sensitivity to "brain meds". After the coaxing of a friend, I saw Dr. Z. He began where these others left off. He explained my mental illness. He said if talk therapy was the answer, I should have felt better a long time ago. I finally understood that a brain disorder couldn't be cured by talk therapy any more than diabetes or hypertension. I agreed to begin medication. Within 3 weeks, my life changed. I didn't know how I survived feeling so horrible for 45 plus years. Any doctor can prescribe medication; Dr. Zavodnick… has an incredible talent for doing it right. Most psychiatrists don't. It is an interesting combination of science and art to be able to prescribe these complex drugs which can give patients a life relatively free of mental torment, and for some, many hospitalizations. I have lived in Florida for 15 years and speak to Dr. Z from time to time. I can say without drama, he is in the top 5 for persons who have impacted my life in a positive way.

He saved my life when other doctors couldn't help
