Caring professional. Listened to my concerns.
Dr Zakem was great! He listened to me and had already looked at my file before the appointment. His treatment plan is working so far. I feel confident I can call him if I have any problems with it.
DR ZAKEM IS A VERY KNOWLEDGEBLE DOCTOR AND HAS MY COMPLETE CONFIDENCE
Dr.Zakem is the most thorough doctor I've ever seen. He didn't just guess and put me on meds. He's working on a specific diagnosis not the general, disease du jour. I really appreciate this. He, from my perspective, is very knowledgeable about the human body and its chemistries. I really appreciate his care and concern.
