Dr. Zarnegar and staff were very professional and explained the problem and how they would correct it effortlessly. I was very comfortable with them and am looking forward to having my procedure taken care of by them.

I had two hernias removed by Dr. Zarnegar. I was very impressed by his knowledge and professionalism He has a great team working with him. He explained everything about the issue, the procedure and was able to squeeze me in for surgery. I would definitely recommend.

I have never had anyone show me that they empathize with the struggle I have dealt with my whole Life in regards to enjoying the foods everyone enjoys that I can’t. To hear and understand the plan of care that Dr Zarnegar devised was a huge bonus for me to trust him with something this important to me.

I have an asymptotic hernia. He advised against surgery. That’s right... a surgeon recommended against surgery. That to me spoke highly of his integrity.

I drove 2.5 hours each way to be seen for my post-op appointment, thinking I was going to have my gastric pacemaker adjusted, only to find out when I got there, that they did not even have the machine in the office. I was told that the machine was in the OR, and they couldn't obtain it until after 5 pm. I was also told by the surgeon that he didn't typically adjust pacemakers. I was also told that they usually wait 3 months to adjust, even though it had almost been 3 months. In addition to that, the surgeon did not even look at my pacemaker incision, so what exactly was the point of me being there? The NP said that the schedulers probably didn't know I was there for a pacemaker adjustment, but that is pretty poor communication in my humble opinion.

Dr Zarnegar is a rare surgeon for possessing compassion and communication skills to match his brilliance and surgical skills. If this was baseball he’d be a 5 tool player. On top of this he's a truly ice guy.
And he had wonderful fellow with him.

Dr. Zarnegar was nice but only met him in person right before the surgery due to COVID, and had a two minute follow up in recovery. Scheduling team was on point but everyone else was not. Follow up post surgery was and continues to be a disappointment. Was scheduled for a follow up and waited over an hour and a half and was then told Dr. Zarnegar wasn’t even there anymore, saw a nurse instead. Had residual pain and concerns and called but it was never addressed by him, just his team. Trying to just get a call back from was difficult and then during a five minute phone call to address my concerns it was rushed and I was treated like an inconvience to them. Very disappointed overall.
