Zeiger L Howard, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Zeiger for several years. He pulled me out of the depths of ‘delayed maintenance’ and got me all the referrals/​services I needed to fix me up. He listened to all of my complaints, then addressed the most important first, and continued on until all problems were eventually solved — there were many. When you make the appointment and when you are given the ‘complaint’ list sheet of paper, just list all your complaints up front and he will address. The scale is inside the patient room hallway, so you are not seen by all — just staff. I guess my one complaint is that It is a bit hard to get hold of them at times. Overall I love Dr. Zeiger and I do think he is a very caring person — he has helped me a lot and knows what he’s doing. His nurse has been with him a long time and does a good job. I agree it is not the most outgoing, friendly office but it is a shared resource between doctors; they are not rude or surly and are efficient and caring. Dr. Zeiger has never been disrespectful to me nor has his staff.

I’m not sure about one of the negative reviews posted here, but I can honestly say Dr Z is wonderful. I’ve been in his care for a number of years and I really do feel that my level of care has dramatically improved under his guidance. Two years ago I had neck surgery (fusion) and Dr Z visited me a number of times which was totally unexpected. I cannot speak for others but I’m a fan. Thanks for taking good care of me.

Dr. Zeiger is an AMAZING doctor… I would refer him to anyone needing a great internal medicine physician. He is compassionate and caring. And he is VERY smart! I can’t believe ANYONE would write a negative comment. He has called me at home, after hours to give me advice on questions I had. He is truly a great doctor!

I am in agreement with that negative review. I was quite shocked and surprised to see such a negatively run office. The staff seem like they just hate working there. I do not feel comfortable going to that office or speaking with anyone on the phone. The turnaround for results taken were just way too long. I found the doctor to be rushed, not interested and seems to maybe be in a rush to go play golf. Not what I had expected and quite disappointed. Keep looking for another office to handle your healthcare. This one is way over-​rated and had been quite a disappointment.

Wow! I’m quite surprised to read the negative and somewhat over the top review regarding Dr. Zeiger. He has been my physician for a number of years and I found him to be very thorough, caring, respectful and spends time talking with you… I have never felt rushed. He’s one of the best doctors I’ve had over the years. I think perhaps Dr. Zeiger should write a review (of course with his integrity he wouldn’t) on his former patient and I sure we would get a better and more accurate depiction on what really happened.

If there were «0» stars, that’s what Dr. Zeiger would get. Rather than vent about his unbelievably poor bedside manner, I’ll focus on the overall experience.
This Dr’s office is shared by a group, straight out of the 1970s, in appearance, attitude and self-​eliteness. If you go here, expect to:
— travel a phone tree for 10 minutes to leave a message
— wait for well over an hour
— be weighed on an ancient scale for everyone to see
— deal with a Dr. that will repeatedly remind you he’s out of time
— chastise you for contacting him via email
— call you stupid if you don’t understand your full insurance coverage
— only see you for exactly what you made the appointment for (remember, he’s an important guy & in a hurry, no extra questions please)
All this (ooohhh, what a great package)… but on top of it? Not a good doctor. Dr. Zeiger is out of touch with human care and shows the compassion of a watermelon. The staff is always unhappy, and there are just no good vibes coming from anywhere here. Going to the Doctor isn’t anyone’s favorite, but going here is awful.

Dr. Zeiger is incredible. He works with you and makes you feel comfortable. He is very knowledgable about modern medicine, but doesn’t rule out other options. I have recommended him to several friends who also think extremely highly of him. I have gone to him for 9 years.
