Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2024
Based on Dr. Zarnegar's credentials and reputation, I was confident that I was going to choose him as my surgeon. And about halfway through my consultation, I knew that he was the perfect surgeon for me. What I did not expect, was that his office would be as exceptional as him. His receptionist, intake nurse, surgical resident and surgical consultant were all beyond professional, competent and truly helpful. Dr. Zarnegar and his office set the gold standard for medical care.
