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.

Dr Zikra is an amazing doctor who has always cared about me and finding the best treatment for my endocrine disorders. She is very knowledgeable and caring. I am so glad I found her theme I moved back to Florida over 10 years ago.

Caring and professional
I have been seeing Dr. Zikra for approximately 15 years. From day one, she has been caring, patient, and understanding of my health concerns. I was very hard-headed when I started taking meds, but she educated me and encouraged me to take a diabetes course. The course was eye-opening, and I thank her for that. Throughout the years, my diabetes has been stable, and my health has been perfect. I referred my mother to see her as her diabetes was uncontrollable, and in no time after seeing Dr. Zikra, she as well has had good results with her visits and health. Thank you, Dr. Zikra and staff, for always being so caring and treating me as a patient and not a number.

Dr. Zikra saved my life!
I met Dr Zikra after three days in the hospital. She was the only one who actually diagnosed my ailment. She found I had Addisons disease and I have been her patient since. She's kind, professional, knowledgable and listens. All the things I love about her.

Outstanding Diabetes and Endocronologist in Orland
Dr. Maha Zikra is one of the best Diabetes and Endocronologist in Town - i am not sure the exact year i went in -it was in 2004 or 2005 or 2006... probably during that period- She is highly knowledgeable, highly effective - i would recommend her anywhere in the wold... The Entire staff in the office were really nice and wonderful... people like Naiom is exceptionally great- but all the staff on the phone or in person are very courteous, good and highly professional .

Dr. Zikra is phenomenal! I have been to several specialists, including my primary provider who were not able to determine why I couldn't walk, why I had severe joint and muscle pain, constant low blood sugar level, low blood pressure, excessive urination, unintended weight loss, extreme fatigue, pain in the lower back of my leg, itching, headaches, and much more. Dr. Zikra's experience and professionalism in getting to create the whole person picture, led her to suspect and target the cause within 10 minutes of speaking to me on my first visit. In just a few days I can walk again and I am beginning to feel like myself. Dr. Zikra gave me a new appreciation for medical specialists as I was beginning to believe that no one had the knowledge or experience to determine what was happening. If you want pure experience, knowledge, and deep rooted care...please schedule an appointment now with Dr. Zikra. Scheduling was simple and the office was EXTREMELY flexible. The staff is friendly and personable. Follow up appointments are equally flexible. Dr. Zikra's experience, over 20 years, is evident. She is my super hero!

Rude & disrespectful staff
Telehealth
Tried several time to set up an appointment. The lady told me that we don’t except your insurance. I called the insurance company and they confirmed that they do then called again several times told me they do except insurance and put me on hold for long time and they disconnected me really bad staff very rude, and I would not recommend anybody to them. After reading many bad reviews would not give them my business.

Doctor does virtual visits with the door open so everyone can hear your medical history. Potential underlying issues were ignored. Was given visits with non-Endocrinologist support staff.

So rude and unprofessional!!
Truly one of the worst doctors experiences I’ve ever had. I ended up crying and walking out. She doesn’t take the time to listen to you. She rushes through your appointment and doesn’t even listen to your thoughts or symptoms. I told her I have a swollen lump on my neck that has been causing me pain for a couple weeks, and she said “no it’s not it’s not causing you pain, you’re just thinking about it too much.” What? How does she know if I’m in pain? She wouldn’t do an ultrasound to look at the lump and said she wasn’t concerned even though I had paperwork from a previous ultrasound that stated I needed another ultrasound check up on it. She wouldn’t. She then gave me bloodwork only for TSH, when I asked for a complete thyroid panel to compare to my previous blood work since I have prior thyroid issues, she refused and said “YOU want that, I don’t” even though all of my previous doctors told me I needed them. Don’t waste your time or health!!! She’s horrible!!!

Best Medical Encounter in Years
I am not exaggerating when I say this was the best medical visit I've had in years! The staff was so helpful and courteous from the start. By the time I entered the exam room Dr. Zikra had already reviewed all of my labs and scans. She immediately put me at ease. She then took her time to explain the details of my condition, went over the proper use of my medications and set me up for follow-up care. I felt heard and well taken care of and never felt rushed.

Excellent diabetes care
I have received care from Dr Zikra for over 10 years. I have found her to be completely forthright in dealing with all facets of my regime including prescriptions, recommended dietary and exercise programs. At 75, I have maintained a normal and continued healthy lifestyle. Her staff provides excellent support from prescriptions to scheduled visits. Tele visits made appointments easy during the COVID peak. I HIGHLY recommend this fine doctor.
