He was a caring doctor. And he was a caring doctor.
Still in pain 6 years after surgery. Refused post op appt due to financial. Returned a check and sent to collections
I meet Dr Zinkel when I was in the ER for severe back pain which when I was admitted that is when I had meet him. He ended up doing my last two back surgeries, he is a very kind, warm hearted surgeon my last surgery took 161/2 hours he had a lot of work to do on me and it has been nine months since my surgery now that he is retired I wish him only the best!!!!!!! Sad to see him go but happy for him, enjoy your retirement Dr. Zinkel and thank you from the bottom of heart!!!!!
My 85 year old husband suffered with back problems most of his life. His problem involved the L3, L4, and L5 vertebrae in the lower lumbar area. About 5 years ago he was referred to Dr. Zinkel in St. Clair Shores - we live in St. Clair, MI, but distance wasn't going to deter us. That referral ended his pain. Dr. Zinkel diagnosed the problem, performed surgery at Beaumont Grosse Pointe Hospital, where he removed the curved ends of bones L3, L4, and L5 which were squeezing the spinal cord. My husband was so relieved the pain w... read more
1st Visit: Not so good. DOC would not ALLOW PT to ask QUESTIONS or make COMMENTS about the problem(s). LACKS common courtesy. Both OFFICE and PT ROOMS could use an UPDATE especially the walls. And furniture. Thought I was back in the 50's! Perhaps light a candle or two for an environment scent boost. Or add background music or at least a waiting room big screen TV. Lots of pre-entry doc's (I don't think he looked at.) FOLKS, I'M SURE HE'S A WONDERFUL, EXPERIENCED SURGEON, AND ISN'T THAT WHAT MATTERS MOST?! GEEZ LOUISE! That'... read more
I recently had a lumber laminectomy because of severe spinal stenosis. Prior to the surgery I was in constant pain; at times very painful. It is now over 3 months since my surgery and my pain is gone. Dr. Zinkel is an outstanding surgeon with great bedside manner. He makes sure you understand the procedure and its risks. He's very bright with a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend him. His staff is also very responsive to any concerns or issues that you may have.
Dr Zinkel performed a very delicate back surgery on me and I am so happy with the results. He was warm, caring and is one of the best in his field! Love the office staff too! They are right on top of everything. 100% satisfied with my care with them.
I would go anywhere else but here. They do not care about the patients, only the money. They do not communicate with each other. We get a phone call confirming my sons appointment for the following day and to bring $95. After my son drives an hour to get there they told him he has to pay $1000 or the doctor would not see him. The doctor personally called me only to hang up on me. This place is a joke and has no customer service
Nothing but good things from me. I spent a total of over 8 weeks DAILY, in hospital, under his care. He saved my brain and sanity from a massive bilateral subdural hemorrhage, and early this winter performed an elective arthroscopic lumbar decompression. I had other opinions from three prominent neurosurgeons and all said there was nothing to do but pain management and/or PT. His bedside manner is the model for every medical professional. I often felt that I was the good doctor's only patient.
