Dr. Zavala and his staff are exceptional. Their bedside manner and ability to explain complex issues in simple terms make the visit highly valuable. He successfully performed my rotator cuff surgery several years ago and recently completed my knee surgery. Everything they predicted was accurate. The trust I have in him and his staff is unparalleled. They are truly outstanding.

Positives: short wait time, polite staff, got shots in my knees after X-rays, follow up for gel injections, and PTOther: no time for questions unless you have them memorized, can speed talk without taking a breath, and have the listening skills of an owl; you have a pain, he knows his stuff, you get your treatment and get outThe end

10 years ago I blew out my right knee. Went to see Dr. Zavala and he did my surgery and everything went perfectly. Still good to this day. Hurt my left knee during the storm cleanup cutting down trees and moving my generator when the power was out for 3 days. Did X-rays at his office and he called for a MRI to get better details. He is very professional very nice to talk to and we had an excellent experience with his staff. Hopefully this surgery goes as well as the other one did.

I went to Dr. Zavala in July 2023 because of knee pain. I have had 4 pervious knee surgeries on this particular knee. My first appointment Dr. Zavala seemed to think after looking at the X-Rays that there was nothing wrong with my knee other than arthritis. I continued to press the issue since i have lived with arthritis for over 10 years, and i knew this was different. I was able to convince him to order an MRI. My MRI did come back which showed i did tear my meniscus. We scheduled my 5th knee surgery for the following mont... read more

I went to Dr Z for a second opinion and was so impressed that I stayed. I have worked with many doctors and their staffs over the years. It is a solid group. The PAs are wonderful. One of measures is their willingness and ability to listen. I give them a 4.5/5 which is as high as I ever go. I have been impressed by their ability to access MRIs on line. They know their stuff. Now all of that said. They are going through growing pains. Recently changed their appointment system which has had its issues. I have not had many issu... read more

My husband and I had shoulder surgery three and four years ago. He was exceptional in all aspects of his profession. Our recovery went faster than usual because of a procedure he offered. Treatment and recovery was above and beyond.

I am writing this review because I see all of these low review scores for Dr. Zavala and my experience with him was amazing. Dr. Zavala did emergency surgery on my ankle after I had broken it in 3 places. He was so kind and compassionate and helped to calm the fears I had at the time because I had never broken a bone in my life. The surgery he performed was amazing! I am 7 years post op and the scar lines are very minimal and with time my ankle went almost back to normal. I have a plate and 8 pins holding everything together... read more

I cannot recommend this doctor. Seemed uninterested in what my issues were. Seemed pretty dismissive and didn't even suggest anything to alleviate severe knee pain. Finally was able to get a cortisone shot after asking the doctor. Never got a cortisone shot and had to ask what was going to happen, how soon would feel relief, etc. Very rushed appointment.

His receptionist keeps calling me three minutes before my appointment to tell me he’s in surgery. I’m in a lot of pain; it’s horrible to drive to his office and back home. I’m looking for help, not a hassle. Hopes gone wrong on this one.
