1 star because there is no option for 0. Dr.Zenker is not a good doctor for your little ones. I have 2 daughters, and he has always been short and ignores my concerns as a mother. I finally caved and got a new pediatrician after this incident with my 14 month old daughter. I have reported to him since last July which my daughter at the time was 8/9 months old about her right leg going sideways, her right leg looking shorter than the other, her right leg not wanting to bend the same as her left, and also my daughter showing discomfort sometimes when trying to rotate the right leg. He "addressed" it by looking at her and running his finger down her spine and said, "She is fine, she will most likely grow out of it once she starts walking." I reported different occasions each time and finally he said "I don't see anything wrong, wait until she's 18 months and we will see how she is then." Then I refused because I KNEW something was wrong, as well as all my family members. It was clear as day. My last appointment I had with him I demanded answers and X-rays. He was extremely rude with me, and was even training another gentleman at the time of the visit. I was showing him videos of her trying to walk and it was clear that she wasn't using her right leg properly and she had a gait in her walk. He stated he saw nothing wrong and doesn't feel comfortable doing X-rays for my daughter. He did send me a referral over at St.Louis Children's Hospital after that visit and we got X-rays there and it was confirmed. She not ONLY has hip dysplasia, but her hip was completely dislocated and her Femur is twisted as well. She will be going in for a procedure, and possibly surgery, 6-8 weeks in a spica cast & physical therapy afterwards. The point is he neglected my daughter and I truly believe that. He ignored all signs and did not want to listen to me(The mother) when it was clear as day what was going on. Even the doctors/nurses at Childrens saw instantly she had something wrong by looking at her stand. DO NOT get Dr.Zenker. I don't want this to happen to another parent nor child. We as parents should feel comfortable and listened to when coming in and having a doctor we can trust with our babies. This should have been caught when she was an infant, or even when I myself addressed it multiple times when she was a baby. Now as a toddler, she will have to be in a darn near full body cast and go through this procedure, robbing her from playing on the water this summer and as well as walking on her own. When it could have been AVOIDED by this doctor and taken care of wayyy before. Please save your time and go with a pediatrician that cares about your child's well being and not his ego. read more

I am very happy to write a review for Dr. Zenker. He has been my daughters doctor since birth, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. First off, he's always made our family feel comfortable with voicing concerns and asking questions. He patiently listens to all that we have to say and makes my daughter feel comfortable during every visit. Secondly, every time I call with a concern, his staff ALWAYS gives me the option to either have someone talk to the doctor and call me back, or to bring her to the office to be seen by Dr Zenker. I appreciate that they give me an option, because most offices are too quick to diagnose over the phone. Lastly, the thing I love most about Dr. Zenker is that he doesn't hesitate to order lab work or x-rays. I feel that he wants to be 110% sure of what is happening, and won't give a diagnosis or medication until he's absolutely sure that it's necessary. (We had gone to an after-hours facility that was quick to diagnose and medicate her, when it turned out to be something completely different, and the medication was unnecessary) Kudos to Dr. Z! read more
