Dr Z is an absolute angel. You’ll see him mentioned in my review for Bellflower Medical. He is one of the PROS for that place. He surely knows his stuff. He’s concise. He simplifies explanations for those of us unfamiliar with the fancy medical terms. He is very kind and very sweet.
I ended up in the hospital with a nasty infection and no health insurance. He broke things down for me… how hard it would be to get treated… yet he did it. The initial meeting was a bit cold, but of course, a patient with no health insurance wanting his services… I’d probably react the same way. But he warmed up. During my recovery, he eventually joked with me how I was miserable with the heat rash on my bottom, but at least I was no longer dying. (According to him, I WAS dying when I met him due to that infection).
When I was at Bellflower Medical, he was one of four doctors assigned to me. He was the first of the four who I bothered to learn the name of. He visited me the most of the four. He explained the most about what was going on. A+ on customer service. He knows his stuff. It took him no time at all to diagnose & prescribe meds for me. I can tell he is very compassionate and is in this field genuinely to help… even those who can’t exactly pay him right away. I understand medicine is a field where people expect some pretty big money and use that as their main driving force. I’m banking that is not why Dr Z does what he does.
