Daniel Zinar's Online Review Report Card

He's an amazing Dr. He made me feel very comfortable during a difficult time.

Excellent Surgeon, Had a broken elbow in a Motorcycle accident. Did surgery, put 2 screws & after 3 months my arm is pretty much 80% back to normal & hopefully in a month or so it will be close to 100%

Dr Zinar is an outstanding masterful ortho surgeon. Clearly an expert. We are extremely pleased with the results. Yet... be prepared to work hard and more than you have to with the Torrance office staff which are not as impressive and not as excellent. It’s a shame that TMPN allows under performing staff to work with a surgeon of such high caliber.

Dr. Zinar was an excellent surgeon (5 stars for sure), but his Long Beach office staff were horrible; they were the worst I've ever experienced. In addition, the Long Beach office is in a really old building in an industrial area of Long Beach. The office is really small and very old!!! Clock battery on the wall died and it stayed like that for months. Makes you wonder about what else isn't being maintained. Lazy staff in my opinion. Their paperwork is something from the 70's - kind of like the building with misspellings and bad grammar. No customer service at all!!!!!! For example, I called for assistance with a prescription after surgery and going homeand had to end up going to urgent care for my pain because they couldn't help me until the doctor was back in the office (4 days later). You can't call the doctor or his PA??? When you're in pain, you don't want to wait 4 days. Then, they couldn't call a pharmacy like most modern medical facilities. I had to have my husband drive to their office to pick up the prescription (30 minute drive). When I needed paperwork filled out (simple paperwork), they gave me a hard time about it and charged me $20 to write a few sentences and get the doctor's signature. Is the surgeon that hard up for cash that they have to charge $20 to sign a form??? I wouldn't go back to Dr. Zinar just based off of very unfriendly and unprofessional staff.

I had a mountain biking accident and had multiple fractures in both wrists. Luckily Dr Zinar was coming in the next morning to operate at Torrance Memorial and I was able to get on his schedule. I am having a good recovery. He and his office has been great with their care and service along with my disability paperwork. I really appreciate all their help in this traumatic period for me so I can get back to my life and my job. Thank you again !

This Doctor is just pure brilliance. I've had many operations performed by him, and he has saved my leg. Remember if you are looking for an orthopaedic surgeon the letter Z. Dr. Zinar.

Dr. Zinar was a Godsend. I was hit by a car while in a crosswalk in 2009. My right leg was broken. Compound fracture. UGLY compound fracture. Took 2 surgeries and a titanium rod, but I'm good as new!While in the ER the staff told me they'd called a surgeon. My sister wanted to know everything about the surgeon they called. They asked her: "do you have a surgeon in mind?" She replied: "Yes. I want the BEST!" To which the staff responded: "Well, you're in luck. HE IS THE BEST."I've been to one other orthopedic surgeon since then who asked me after reviewing my x-ray who did the work on my leg. I told him that it was Dr. Zinar and he said: "Oh, he's the best. In fact, he taught me. He is the best."It is undisputed... Dr. Zinar is the best.

I COMPLETELY AGREE. DR. Zinar did hip surgery on my dad after a fall. It was a serious and unusual break. He did an amazing job. I could tell the staff didn't like him because he is very demanding but he is wonderful with his patients. I thank the Lord for him. Two other orthopedic surgeons told me he is the best in the state.

I shattered my ankle in 1992 in Torrance, CA. I was initially told by a emergency nurse that I might not be able to walk again. Many doctors walked in just to review the multiple fracture. A young doctor came in from his vacation on Good Friday. With the help of an assistant they fixed the dislocation and he told me he could repair the fractures. That next week I left the hospital on crutches with 16 screws and 3 metal plates in my ankle. That was over 24 years ago and I've been walking ever since with no other surgery. That young doctor was Dr. Zinar. Thank You Very Much!
