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.
Dr. Merianos is incredibly knowledgeable, with the bedside manner every parent wants for their children. No parent wants to see their child go through surgery, but if it does need to happen there is no one better. Could not be happier with our experience.
Dr. Shou and NP and all staff are very professional and I am happy that Dr, Shou explain my condition the way I could understand well.
