I am in awe at the kind, sympathetic and sweetness used to gather information for my treatment. I've been dealing with a complicated autoimmune for 3 years, her medical sureness and ability to offer me SCIG is life-changing.

Dr. Zeki gave me the most thorough annual medial exam of my life. Really. And she explained everything to me about my symptoms, condition, and treatment plan. My wife and I are so glad to be a part of her practice.
