A red flag for me was the fact one of the employees went somewhere else for her treatment!

Apparently his case load is too much, or just doesn't care about his patients. We have ask and then begged to see him after a chemo treatment... all we got was the P.A. which she is very informative and helpful. Where is the DR? Not happy with his care for my husband, nor is he. When a life is on the line, you want care and attention. I would choose someone else. It suggests to email him... no response. Like I said, he is too busy with whatever... his ego.

Impossible to get in touch with his office. Hours of waiting to be seen. Hard to understand and very condescending. Mistakes made concerning chemotherapy. Worst experience ever!

Dr Zakari is a very brilliant and compassionate Dr . He spent a lot of time explaining all the issues with my wife and I of her health issues and went above and beyond to get us the right course of action for a serious health issue. I can’t say enough to thank him.

Good doctor with world's worst staff
Using Dr. Zakari in coordination with a specialist oncologist at cancer specialty hospital in another state. He is executing the orders from the other oncologist and is the local reviewer and question answerer during chemo. When he's not rushed, he answers questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. He also responds to emails. His office staff is either overworked or just outright incompetent. Calls for appointment inquiries or changes go unanswered. Requests for prescription renewals aren't sent to the pharmacy without numerous calls begging (on voicemail since no one ever gets on the phone). The latest was they lost a blood sample and weren't even aware that they were supposed to get it to the lab even after numerous follow-up calls asking for the report.

Dr Zakari has been my hematologist and oncologist for the past 11 years. I have been extremely pleased with his care, research and custom approach to my diagnosis and treatment protocols. When the average doctor wants to jump to conclusions, he is thorough and doesn't hesitate to seek other specialist's input around the country to make sure he is correct. When I have had health problems, he digs in, solves and quickly gets you the right care. I completely trust him & highly recommend!

Randall King's review is spot-on. Take too much chemo, go die, and not a peep from Dr. Zakari after the fact.

He is the best Colon Oncologist in the United States. He listens and is patient with questions. Dr. Zakari cares about all his patients.

Showboats with fluff info - any intelligent inquiry causes his fragile ego to crack and doesn't take long after that to become cocky - rude - and dismissive. All his diagnosis are based on rote memorization of text book statistics and flowcharts - which is a general gripe about non-customized onco treatments - but this explains why he is apathetic towards any questions about one's specific reactions/responses/symptoms. If you are given an unsuitable chemo cocktail, expect a shrug - go die.
