Ziegler Jeffrey W, DO

I’ve been seeing Dr. Z for over 10 years, as a performer I’ve relied on his amazing abilities to keep me going! Osteopathic manipulation is the best thing you can do for chronic pain and Dr. Z is the «Yoda» of his specialty!

Good luck getting past the gestapo. I recently moved here from Chicago and was searching for a new primary care doctor. My provider listed Dr. Ziegler but, when I called, the woman who answered the phone was abrupt and said that he was not doing primary care. I then asked if I could make an appointment to see him about an arthritic shoulder since that was his declared specialty. She put me on hold for awhile, came back on and asked for my name and phone number. I could tell by her voice that she wasn’t the least bit interested in me or my shoulder. She said she would call me back but never did. Dr. Ziegler may be good but I’ll never know because I went to the second choice provider and got an appointment. I can only hope that the good doctor realizes that his business is being undermined by his not-​so-​friendly receptionist. Not a great way to build a practice.

I called after 1pm but the phone was answered in an impatient rush with one word, «DrZeiglersOffice.» No greeting, no introduction by whomever was answering the phone. I asked if Dr. Zeigler was accepting new patients and the cigarette-​voiced woman responded with «Depends on what for, dear.» I was not only taken aback by the patronizing familiarity from a female speaking to me for the first time, but also by. the statement designed to make me figure out the rest of the interaction in order to proceed further. Very odd. I simply replied, «My arm,» whereupon she replied «Hold on,» and put me on hold to listen to a very loud rap-​reggae song (after the second song, I figured it out to be a local radio rap-​rock station.). After several minutes, another lady picked up and again hurriedly responded with the «DrZeiglersOffice.» Again I asked the same question, received a «what for?» (without the endearment this time) whereupon I replied, «my arm» again. After asking for more detail about my arm, she apparently deemed me fit for the doctor’s examination and asked me about my insurance coverage. I replied «Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Card PPO», to which she immediately replied «he doesn’t accept Blue Cross.»
Now I am sure she didn’t hear or care to hear the BLUE CARD PPO, but instead lumped me into the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that BCBS must also provide under Obamacare. I am a UNION welder-​pipefitter that pays $ 10 out of every HOUR I work into the union’s health insurance fund and I have built 20K in a union reserve fund for those times I am not actively working. In other words: it’s STELLAR health insurance. This doctor’s office stood everything to gain by taking me and any fellow union brothers/​sisters I might have referred to him.
By this time, what with the apparent too-​busyness of the office to be polite, the medical intake questions and the uninformed insurance office policy, I gathered the gist of this office and was no longer interested in engaging in further or future conversation with this office staff.
I politely said, «Okay, thank you. By the way, why does everyone ask «what for? when inquiring if the doctor is accepting new patients?» She replied, «He doesn’t do primary care.»
So there you have it, folks. Good luck.

Dr. Ziegler is AMAZING! We were referred by Nellis AFB and take our 15 year old Daughter. Dr. Ziegler really is an expert in his field and it shows! He has great bedside manor and is a pleasure to deal with. His Nurse Hellen is also wonderful! We drive from the Southwest part of town and it is so worth it!
Thank You Nellis!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Z since he came to Clark County, and I am so much better for it. He has kept me in pretty good shape, and able to deal with chronic pin. If he can’t cure your pain, it will be greatly diminished. He is compassionate and cares about his patients. If he can’t help, he refers the patient to another physician. He’s fun to talk to as well. Elizabeth and Helen are wonderful and will try hard to manage an appt for you if needed. At the same time they don’t overbook so patients have to wait long periods of time. I can’t recommend the whole office enough!

I was referred here from the Nellis hospital for my back issues. The Dr. Ziegler did a great job and I feel great now. I go back in whenever I tweak it but I’ve been feeling great for a while which I couldn’t say before seeing this doctor.

I have had hip pain for almost 1 year now. I spent 6 months in physical therapy where they continually told me the problem was bursitis (although it did not register on my MRI). Then I saw an orthopedic who gave me a heavy anti-​inflammatory to take (although I informed him that I was trying to get pregnant). Finally, my OBGYN referred me to Dr. Ziegler for osteopathic treatment. I had no idea what to expect, but I was praying that he could find a more natural solution that didn’t include medication. All I can say is WOW! My pain was greatly reduced about 2 days after my appointment. I expect that after a couple more visits I will feel better than ever.
My only complaint is that I had to wait almost 2 hours after my appointment time to actually see the doctor. I finally left about 3 hours after I arrived. I’m not sure if maybe they were short staffed, but the nurse assured me that this was not the norm. Either way, the results were well worth my wait! I can’t wait to go back for my next visit!

Well I have read nothing but great reviews and I am currently sitting in the docs office waiting to be seen after being here for 1hr 45 mins after my scheduled appointment. The staff up front is lazy and they are not proactive at all. I set there listening to personal conversations and everything else that crossed their mind that was non work related. How about calling your clients to let them know how far behind the Doc is… I hope this man walks on water as its go an be hard to get me to change my mind on this review!

Bad parachute landing and doctor referral led me to here. Wish Dr Z could be my regular doc. I only did a few visits as a referral from Nellis AFB, but — wow — if this wasn’t on the far side of town I would go there just for the fun of it.

This is not the first time I sat down to write a review of Dr. Ziegler. Once or twice before I’ve started writing this piece and aborted. Why? I’ll admit it. It’s because I’m afraid that everyone will catch on and I’ll never be able to get another appointment.
Dr. Ziegler is an osteopath. Google it sometime. But to quickly bring you up to speed, an osteopath uses physical manipulations to cure your ailments. Sounds a lot like a chiropractor, right? Wrong. Osteopathy is not quackery. And it isn’t based on a series of re-​occurring treatments. As a matter of fact, that’s one of the things I like best about Dr. Ziegler — he aims to heal, not to keep you coming back. One visit usually clears up whatever my problem is, and only once or twice have I had to come back for a second visit.
Anyway, so my family & I primarily use Dr. Ziegler for physical ailments, usually back problems. (I mention it because I don’t know how diverse of a field of ailments he treats.) When I show up for my appointment, maybe I sit a few minutes in the waiting room, but usually I’m taken back immediately. In the back, you’re presented with what looks like a massage table. You lay down, the nurse puts some electrodes on your back, covers you up with a hot blanket, and turns the lights down on her way out the door. 10 – 20 minutes later, your muscles are nice and loose and your ready to see the doctor. Dr. Ziegler asks what kind of problems your having and then goes about and does his adjustments. His adjustments are kinda like a targeted mini-​massage combined with (for lack of a better term) chiropractor-​like adjustments. Before you know it, you’re on your way out and on your way to recovery. I don’t always walk out his office 100% pain free, but I always leave in much better condition than when I started.
So this might sound more like a 5 star review of osteopathy, but here are some reasons why I like Dr. Ziegler specifically:
— He’s very friendly and easy to chat with. A genuinely nice guy.
— His staff keep up the same standard of friendliness, and always do what they can to accommodate you (help with last minute appointments, billing issues, etc)
— He’s not too hard to visit. He has a fairly convenient location (right off the 2 – 15), and you can usually get an appointment in a reasonable time frame).
— He’s not a quack, and in addition to physical manipulations, he’s not averse to sending you home with some prescriptions for pain medicine when necessary.
There it is. I heard about him through word of mouth, and all of my friends who I’ve sent to him have sworn off their chiropractors. Next time your back is bothering you, give Dr. Ziegler a try.
