Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

An Amazing Doctor
Dr. Zooker is absolutely amazing, not only for his medical knowledge and skills, but just as much for his bedside manner. Dr. Zooker actually listened to what I had to say. He answered as many questions as I asked. He viewed me as a person, and took into account my feelings based on my experiences and knowledge. He was patient and kind at every appointment. His surgery was smooth and recovery progressed extremely well. My recovery feels complete.

Great experience with Dr. Zooker
I had a great experience with Dr. Zooker today. He is very knowledgeable about what I came to see him for and spent adequate time evaluating and discussing my issue. He seems very conservative with treatment plan and not ready to rush into unnecessary testing or procedures although if needed he would re-evaluate followup diagnostic tests and treatment. He was very easy to talk with.

Best shoulder surgeon !!!
I had shoulder surgery for multiple tears including a Rotator cuff tear in April 2022. Dr. Zooker took the time to explain everything thoroughly so there was no confusion. It was predicted I would be out of work for 6-9 months. I was back to work in less then 4 !!! Do you research !!! Dr. Zooker is the best !!

Dr. Chad Zooker is an exceptional orthopedic doctor. In addition to his experience he has the ability to make a patient who is experiencing extreme pain feel comfortable with his explanations of images and procedures. I will highly recommend him to others in need of orthopedic treatments and his supporting staff.

The office was well prepared with all covid-19 CDC recommendations. From the time I entered the exam room every staff person, tech or PA was helpful. and pleasant Dr. Zooker has a kind manner. He explains everything and addressed every issue. He told me, that he is available for any concerns I have at any time. I left with complete peace of mind.

Never even got to see Dr. Zooker, only got a PA. Had such a horrible experience with the office we left before the follow up appointment. Charged me hundreds of dollars for equipment I did not need (told them I already owned) and they told me would be covered by my insurance.

I had a four-minute appointment after waiting 45 minutes. I left two messages for the office, but no one returned my calls. He misdiagnosed my problem, addressing the back of my right knee (MRI and pain are in front of left knee). The MRI itself was expensive and time consuming and it wasn't addressed at all. It must have just been an off day or my expectations are too high.

Very knowledgeable, thorough and generally a nice guy. My only complaint is that I've waited in a patient room for over 45 minutes 2 of the last 3 visits. Thank goodness for smartphones to keep myself occupied. Worth the wait though as my knee now feels better than it has in years!
