What Our Patients Are Saying
Doctor Zarnegar is very professional and has good beside manner. I am dealing with gastritis and he also did the surgery for my gallbladder removal. The surgery went smoothly and he did not hesitate to keep me at the hospital when I was not feeling well because of my neuropathy issues. He kept me until my pain was under control and he and his office kept following up. He is truly a good doctor who goes above and beyond to help his patients. He is still investigating to find out what is the really issue with me and I appreciate that. I would definitely recommend him.
Couldn’t be more pleased with my visit with Dr. Simmons and her staff. I was thoroughly informed and treated with care and redpect.
Dr Chang is such a wonderful doctor. He is super professional, personable , approachable and helpful. I felt like I was in the best hands and very listened to.
