We were super nervous about the visit but his assistant was very warm friendly, Dr Zinser walked in and warmly greeted us, we felt very at ease, he explained all our questions in the manner we could understand, it's hard sometimes when your nervous and don't comprehend everything that is said, but not with Dr. Zinser. We're very fortunate to be his patients.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The communication was not good at all. No one called regarding my test results, I had to send messages and call. Come to find out (after I called) that I wasn't supposed to take antibiotics while on another medication. Also there were some "flags" on my test results that no one has explained to me but was able to get a follow up appt after I called again inquiring about a message that was sent to my primary doctor 2 days prior.

Dr. Z is a great doc
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Provider was very nice and listened but the specimen collection could have been a self swab and was unnecessary for the Provider to do with the method he did (didn't use a speculum). Self swab should be an option given to ALL female patients when feasible.

Dr. Zinser & staff are excellent.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr.Zinser and his nurse Cindy are by far the best medical providers I have ever seen. They take their time to explain what I need to know. I feel they truly care about me as a person. Whereas most physicians I've been to just treat me as a number and want to rush through he appointment , get me out of their hair . I'll be moving soon to another state and I worry that whoever becomes my physician won't come close to Dr. Zinser and Cindy. So you can see how much I appreciate these two providers.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Zinser is my wife's and my GP currently and for the past several years. In both of our opinions, Dr. Z is the best GP we have had during our lifetimes, no exaggeration. He listens intently and provides clear information and guidance on options available. In this particular visit, and as an acknowledgement to the current COVID epidemic, he listed future testing options in terms of; lowest risk, highest safety, and lowest cost - I greatly appreciated that advise.

He always listens to my explination of the issue and then asks probing questions to get more details. He also makes sure i know my options. At this visit the team worked to make an appointment and get insurance approval for a CT Scan before i even left the office and headed straight there. Awsome!

pretty sure all my immediate family members go to the Firwood clinic, except one that has different insurance.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I think my doctor and nurse are the best. I feel luck to have found them amd I think the front office doesn't call about test results because of how great the MyHealth app works for me. I always bore results there the second they're available.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My experience was good but many of my friends and colleagues have specific needs and concerns- say they have young children or are elders with specific issues that a different physician would be the best match. Dr. Zinser is good for ME but not the best fit for everybody- nobody is.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
when I was trying to make an appointment with my provider and I was telling her how important it is I see him she kept trying to have me see some one else I said no
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Zinser made me feel respected and listened to. He did not make me feel silly or dramatic with any of the questions I had. I appreciated the way he explained everything to me in detail so I can make informed choices, and understand why we are doing the tests he ordered.

Immediate concerns were addressed. Follow-up concerns (sent via message in iPhone app) are pending the doctor's return to the office [date removed]. Personally, I need to schedule some follow-up tests after the new year, and I'm certain they'll be handled equally as professionally as my past visits.

Superb service's
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Everything went smoothly.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
It seems "holistic" healthcare is no more. Not to pick on my provider, but I always feel limited to just focus on one maybe two issues, when I have many more concerns. It also seems like if one doesn't fall into a particular category of expected symptoms & results, or follow a course of the majority, that the concern is just ignored. "If its not easy, don't bother" is the feeling I get from healthcare today. No specificity, which is what I really want from my primary care provider.
We were nervous when we arrived, but Dr. ZINSER was very kind address our concerns was very easy to understand, he's an excellent provider that we appreciate.
