    I saw Zenker in July of 2022 because my regular practitioner was not avail. (later learned that she…read morewas out for a brief period due to contracting COVID). It was supposed to be a routine checkup, but I found out that I was pregnant in the week prior to coming in. I was unsure whether or not I wanted to keep the fetus for various reasons including that I had recently contracted COVID. Zenker told me with certainty that COVID does not effect fetuses, which is just a wild claim considering this is 2 years out from initial outbreak and no one has a clue what the range of effects of COVID are. Zenker immediately assumed that I wanted her input on whether or not I should have a child. The first words out of her mouth were to ask me if I had a good job (I had a decent job at the time, but she seemed to assume I was too poor to have a child based off of my appearance). After some other ignorant and uncomfortable questioning, I realized that I would have to request an OB referral, which I then did verbally. I told her I wanted to see an OB so I could have a regular checkup, not knowing how old the fetus was at the time. Zenker told me she could get a good idea by feeling my uterus. I agreed to let her do this. She was incredibly rough. I'm 32 and have had many pelvic exams, and this one stands out. I remember gasping and probably winced a little. She snarkily said, "What? Did that hurt?" as if she hadn't just jammed her hand forcefully inside of me or if she thought that somehow would not be painful for a person like me. Not to mention I'm pregnant. And not for the first time, so I'm familiar with tenderness, etc. (I endured a month-long miscarriage with zero pain medication). Ultimately, Zenker never referred me to an OB. So I called the office and asked for a referral. I had to wait for someone to contact Zenker for contact information and then call me back with a number. I called the office that I was referred to, and it turned out they did not have OBs there. I repeated this process two more times. Two times in total Zenker gave me a number to an office that did not have OBs or perform OB exams of any kind for pregnant women. tl;dr classist, misogynist, judgemental, bad communication, poor follow-through, rough vaginal/pelvic exams I give 1 star, because I just generally did not feel like I was being treated like a human being in her presence. I expect no one, especially women, to be warm & fuzzy, but I also expect no one to be the opposite. Thankfully, she is not my primary doctor.

    Dr. Zanker is the Best!!! I recommend Dr. Zanker to everyone! She really cares about her patients…read more You are in great hands with her. Amazing Doctor! If I could give her 10 stars, I would. Highly recommended. Thanks, Dr. Zanker!
