No overnight stay, no real pain, nothing…read more But a week after, she started developing serious symptoms, which Dr. Paul took very seriously; he acted fast to find out what was wrong. At first, I was quick to blame the surgery, but more detailed investigation showed that the gallbladder problems were just the tip of the iceberg and the fist thing to "act up" in a very complex situation. Not only did Dr. Paul do a great job (as confirmed by other surgeons and his reputation); he still checks on my wife, even three years later. That's more than the mark of a good doctor; that's a good person. I'd highly recommend him, both for his skill and his compassion.

From the very first consultation to the final follow-up, Dr. Cannova demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, compassion, and surgical expertise. What stands out most is his ability to make patients feel completely confident and at ease. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all our questions with patience, and genuinely cared about my husband's recovery and quality of life. His precision and attention to detail in the operating room are unmatched and the results speak for themselves. My husband's recovery was so smooth and remarkable that family and friends could hardly believe he had just undergone a hip replacement! Within a short time, he was walking pain-free and regaining his strength faster than we ever imagined possible. The entire surgical and post-op team under Dr. Cannova's leadership is equally impressive organized, responsive, and kind. They made the entire experience seamless and stress-free for both patient and family. Dr. Cannova isn't just an outstanding orthopedic surgeon; he's a life-changer. We are forever grateful for his skill, compassion, and dedication to his patients.

I suffer from Meibomian gland dysfunction. The ophthalmologists I saw diagnosed it as resulting…read morefrom the many years of my lagophthalmos that permitted my meibomian glands to atrophy. After I saw an oculoplastic surgeon who performed several unsuccessful surgeries to treat my lagophthalmos, I decided to find someone who would approach my condition with a different strategy. I extensively researched oculoplastic surgeons practicing in the Maryland, DC, and Virginia area. My research led me to Dr. Zatezalo. From my first consultation with Dr. Zatezalo, I knew he was the surgeon for me. He is kind, smart, and compassionate along with experienced, talented, and creative in surgical procedures. He clearly explained to me that I needed full thickness skin grafts (FTSG) to functionally improve the operation of my eyelids. I had read about eyelid skin grafts from various Internet websites that described it as a last resort because of its complexity and routinely poor cosmetic outcome. Recovery may take up to a year or more before the grafts blend into the rest of your face and even then, they are usually a different texture and slightly off color. Dr. Z exerted no pressure on me to have the procedure. Deep down inside I knew I needed it. I had to do something as I could not go on living the way I was, and yet, I was afraid of what I would look like after a FTSG on my lower eyelids. I was using eyedrops nonstop during the day, and at night I would awaken every few hours in pain from the dryness and had to instill dry eye ointment. I wore sunglasses indoors because my eyes barely tolerated room lights or being out in the sunlight. I was miserable and my quality of life had gotten so poor, I did not want to leave my home. Dr. Zatezalo was very patient with me and again very honest. I had read many of his patient reviews of how he gave back his patients' lives through corrective surgery. I decided to move forward with full thickness skin grafts as Dr. Zatezalo recommended. In my case, it took approximately six months before the grafts started to blend in well with the surrounding skin and not be noticeable. My level of comfort improved immediately after the surgery as I now had more skin in my lower eyelids to help my eyes close completely. I no longer needed to use eyedrops and ointment like before. I was also able to tolerate artificial and natural light without sunglasses. I had the FTSG surgery in 2018. Today, people don't know I had it unless I point it out to them. The Zatezalo Group is located in a beautiful and modern office with easy parking access. Amelia and Kimmy, Dr. Zatezalo's staff, are super friendly, efficient, and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Zatezalo to anyone who needs functional repair or desires cosmetic enhancement of their eyes. Thanks to him, the quality of my life has improved greatly. He really is a remarkable doctor and person.

Would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

When he came to see me, I told him that I am here to check on the level of my thyroid. He said he is a thyroid surgeon, not Endocrinologist. How ever, he ordered a lab work that has nothing to my inquiry. He also suggested I need to see an internist for the inquiry that he is a surgeon, not Endocrinologist. Interestingly, they charged me $242 for the service that has nothing to do for what I came for to see him. The next day, I went to endocrinologist doctor , which I got all the service I needed. After that, I called back to talk to Dr. Zorc's office manager to request a refund since I did not get the service I came for. The lady, who was not willing to give her name was rude and hangup the phone on me. I believe ethics must play the role and Dr. Zorc must refund the service charge that I paid for. Moreover, he also needs people with manner in his office, who don't hang up the phone on clients. Bekele, R.

He has a superb "bedside manner", and a few hours after a recent surgery for Sciatica pain, he called me personally to check in on me. Unlike some doctors that rush to surgery before it is called for, Dr. Fisch employs a systematic approach to back pain that starts with physical therapy, progressing to epidural injections, and finally proceeding to surgery if all else fails to quell the pain. I highly recommend Dr. Fisch to anyone suffering from Sciatica.

BUT the most important and helpful recommendation he gave me was that I needed to lose weight to help myself. It's NOT just the doctor who helps but the patient MUST help themselves as well.

I did 2 cycling centuries last year, 2020, and I'm training for 2 triathlons and a Spartan for this year, 2021. I had the privilege recently to thank him. Patients may not want to hear the truth but doctors need to be upfront and tell it like it is. Dr. Fisch wants his patients to be apart of trying to make them feel better. He can't do it alone.

His imaging diagnosis convinced me of the importance to move forward with hip replacement surgery. Summit Orthopedics works closely with Sibley Hospital so I was able to schedule a Monday morning surgery and overnight stay at the hospital. The Nurse Navigator Supervisor at Sibley provided information on Pre-Op procedures and an appointment with Sarah, Summit's Nurse Practitioner, involved a review of the surgical procedures and the list of medications with a review of frequency. Dr. Siram brought together a great surgical team comprised of the Sibley Hospital Orthopedic doctors and nursing staff and an anaesthesiologist. The first nurse assigned to my post-Op care placed top priority on Pain Control and coordinated a meeting with In-House PT/OT Team to review and practice the Post-Operative exercises. I completed 2 weeks of In-Home physical therapy with Potomac Home Health Care, affiliated with Johns Hopkins and Sibley. The PT specialist was exceptional: checked vitals; reviewed my medications; provided a home exercise plan that helped me to begin walking with and without a cane, before starting In Office Post-Op PT. I would strongly recommend the Dr. Siram-Sibley Orthopedic Team.
