Dr. Steven Emil Zawilla, MD

I had an appalling experience at this office. The doctor demonstrated a complete lack of professional bedside manner and engaged in clear ADA discrimination. Despite the fact that I am currently on disability benefits and have a rod and seven pins in my leg from surgery seven months ago, the doctor told me, 'I don't think you're disabled.' He granted me a three-month extension for jury duty leave, yet refused to extend my work disability. There is no logical reason why I would be unfit for jury duty but fit for work, as my condition makes it impossible to stay in one position for long. Furthermore, he used my Bipolar diagnosis to discriminate against me, even though it had no relevance to my physical visit. Stay away for your physical safety, as your concerns will not be addressed, and for the sake of your mental health. I have filed a formal complaint with Kaiser and will be following up with the ADA. I strongly advise others to avoid this provider.

I went to this doctor because I have a condition which creates a lot of pain, heart problems and stomach problems. He never asked about the heart or stomach issues, but instead treated me as if I were a drug seeking addict. I would not recommend this person to anyone ever!

The best doctor I have had in my 35 years with Kaiser. He always listens and pays attention to my concerns. I could not ask for more in a physician.
