The appoinment was for my mother. Got there early no air conditioning. The two receptionists were telling one of the doctor's about a patient that had called about their bill. The receptionist's were rudely talking about this woman with the doc present and one of them said, "If I were you I would have told that lady to shut up!" Horrendous! The waiting room chairs were a lawsuit waiting to happen. Wobbly! Held together by tape probably. Never again.

M y husband was sent to Dr. Zelen to salvage a foot and ankle almost destroyed by Charcot disease. He did an awesome job but told us he put it back together but it was up to God and Jerry to heal it. That is true. He put together a foot and ankle that most would have amputated. That is still a possibility but so far so good. The entire office staff including Debbie has been very nice to us and extremely helpful. Dr. Zelen is a busy man and some perceive that as non-caring. So untrue.

Awful experience.. he let one of his students do my surgery and my foot is still messed up and I am in constant pain and walk with a limp. The office staff is rude, especially the manager, Debbie... a horrible person that has no business working with the public. Since my experience, I've found quite a few people that have also had a bad experience here and if anything, I hope I can prevent someone else from making the same mistake and go somewhere else.

I did a lot of research on Dr. Zelen, and he was the right choice, his office is very busy and there is often a wait but it was worth it, i had surgery done by another doctor and Dr. Z fixed me up, i would highly recommend

I met with Dr. Zelen. Was very pleased and wanted him to do the surgery needed on my foot.That was Thanksgiving 2015. His staff has never returned my phone calls. They were to set the date for the surgery. I had friends who were going to his associates mention I had been trying to reach them. Oh yes.We will call her. Then it never happened. I am still waiting. I loved Dr. Zelen but his staff is awful. Even his web page speaks to the fact that others are upset with his staff. He does not read h
