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

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.

Outstanding doctor
I highly recommend Dr.Abuzarad, after only one visit, I’ve been looking for a doctor like him for years, he does not push pharmaceuticals to treat your symptoms. he has a much more holistic healthy lifestyle approach to medicine. he has a slogan in his office let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food. I found him very professional, and I did my research he’s highly experienced, and has outstanding credentials. Would impress me the most was his compassion and passion as he took his time to explain to me, his approach in medicine and the benefits who could have for my life. I was so impressed with Doctor Abuzarad, set an appointment for my wife, he will be our doctor for life and I believe it will be a long, healthy life because we have met him.Thank you Doc.

Excellent Physician
I highly recommend Dr. Zarad. I have been a patient of Dr. Zarad for over ten years. At every visit he is thorough and attentive to my health concerns. He takes a holistic approach using natural products such vitamins/minerals wherever possible. He does use prescription medications when necessary. My health is much improved as a result of his care.

I would like to recommend Dr. Husam Abuzarad at Oak hill. When I retired 7 years ago and moved to Florida, I was overweight and so physically out of shape that I couldn’t walk around the block with my wife. I was pre-diabetic and on high blood pressure medicine. With Dr AbuZarad’s guidance I have lost 40 pounds and I’m no longer on high blood pressure meds. All my blood work numbers are now excellent and I have more energy than I’ve had in 20 years. He is more of a holistic Doctor and not as much about prescribing medications as other doctors we’ve had in the past.

Dr. Zarad is a Diamond in the rough
Approximately 6 weeks ago, I met with a specialist because of problems with what I thought was my urinary tract. The Specialist believed the symptoms I had was due to a fistula. He gave me a referral for a CT scan. At the time of the CT scan, I added Dr. Zarad as the secondary person to receive the results of the testing, almost as an afterthought. To my surprise it was not the specialist who called me about the results first thing that morning, but rather Dr. Zarad’s office. I was told to immediately go on a clear liquid diet. The next day I went to Dr. Zarad’s office. I was informed that the specialist wanted to refer me for surgery that involves removing a portion of my colon. Dr. Zarad believed that we can remedy the problem without surgery if we put my body in position to heal itself. He initially recommended a 14 day fast. The fast consisted of nothing more than water, herbal tea (without sweetener) and an assortment of supplements, but no food. Dr. Zarad monitored my condition

Dr. Zarad has been my mother in laws doctor for many years and she absolutely loves him. He accepted me as a new patient and I was taken back that a doctor in this day & age was so thorough and believes in food and supplements over the traditional medicine. He is the BEST!!

Superiority complex that comes before patients hea
This man has a list of supplements already made out that he gives patients before even finding out what they are there for. I'm an insulin dependent for life diabetic and he told me on my first visit that i didn't need insulin at all and he could monitor my care instead of the endocrinologist I've been with for the last 3 years. He also recommended a diary supplement when i have a dairy allergy. If you want a dr that's just going to tell you that you need a keto diet life change and supplements then this is the dr for you. If you actually have any medical problems please find a different doctor as this one only has one the same approach for all his patients no matter what conditions they have.

Dr. Zarad is very personable and takes time to converse with you and answers your questions without being hasty and in a hurry. I was also able to have a telehealth visit with him within the same day of my concern. He has also helped me lose weight and become healthier. I really am happy to have found Dr. Zarad since recently moving to Florida from North Carolina.

Imagine a doctor who sits with you, listens and has a conversation with you! Imagine a doctor who believes in the power of food as medicine instead of just pushing pills.

Dr. Zarad has been working very hard to eliminate RX drugs to my benefit. Even during the Covid19 situation, I have lower blood pressure and increased energy levels. I've lost weight and all but eliminated lower back pain. No more drugs, all accomplished with natural supplements.
