Chad C. Zatezalo, MD's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Z knows his stuff! I have had Dysport injections and BBL treatments. The office staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They also carry Alastin products. My skin looks great, thanks Dr. Z!

I had an upper bleph and temporal brow lift with Dr. Z. Both the doctor and the staff were very reassuring and incredibly informative. The results are natural and great-and I couldn’t be happier. I also had some Dysport injections and the results are wonderful. I can highly recommend Dr. Z and the entire staff!

I needed work done after facial nerve damage caused shrouding on both eyes, darkening my sight. I visited Dr. Z and he immediately knew what the best procedures would be to clear my vision. His bedside manner, good humor and concise identification of what should be done inspired confidence. He did a blepharoplasty and corrected work that had been done previously. After the procedure, my vision was clear and people commented that I looked younger. His work was skilled and subtle. As a photographer, my eyes and vision are my livelihood. Thanks to Dr. Z and his excellent staff!

I’m so happy I found Dr. Zatezalo! He is kind, knowledgeable, and truly a talented artist in his field. I had significant ptosis in one eyelid for over 14 years due to Myasthenia Gravis. He knew right away how to correct the issue, yet took the time to do the necessary testing and information gathering before moving forward. Both the surgery and the healing process went smoothly. A month later - I feel better, look better and most importantly, my vision has improved significantly! Dr. Z and his entire team are wonderful. I highly recommend.

Dr. Z is an outstanding doctor! He got to the root cause of eye issues I have been experiencing for YEARS. He looks at the patient as a whole. I can't recommend him enough!

There are not enough great things to say about Dr. Zatezalo. My husband, my daughter, and myself have all been patients of his. Full disclosure: I have worked with him providing anesthesia services. After more than 15 years working in operating rooms in the DMV, he is the one oculoplastic surgeon I thought of when it came time to take my child to see someone after an eye injury.

I had a great experience at the Zatezalo Group. I have a slight ptosis in my eye and Dr. Zatezalo made recommendations that made a difference in my every day life. The team is also great - very responsive, caring, and communicative. I will keep seeing them!

Caring and attentive doctor. Knew exactly how to fix my droop. Totally symmetrical now and no scarring.

I'm here to jump on the Dr. Z bandwagon. He is fantastic!!! If in need of any of his services, do yourself a favor and go see him. My story is that I needed help correcting a previous procedure, and after talking to several doctors, Dr. Z's assessment and proposed approach made the most sense to me. He was able to address the issue, and gained one very happy client. It doesn't hurt that he's also great people. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!

I highly recommend Dr. Zatezalo! As I look at my before and after pictures I couldn’t be happier- the results are amazing. I needed an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, Dr Z recommended a different and more holistic approach than 2 other doctors. He took into account my brow structure and the impact of future aging and recommended a temporal brow lift as well. I had tremendous anxiety about having an eye surgery but Dr Z and his staff put me at ease and provided excellent treatment and care!!

Dr. Z is hands down the best in the biz. I've seen him for several years, starting when I sought him out for help with complications from an eye procedure performed by another doctor. He was so knowledgable, SO friendly and so comforting. I recently had a lower bleph done by him, and was again so impressed with not only his work, (which is conservative and natural) but his incredibly caring manner. I know another plastic surgeon in the area (socially), and when I brought up Dr. Z's name, he proclaimed without hesitation that Dr. Z was EXCELLENT, so don't just take my word for it!

Dr. Z is the best! I sought him out for treatment of my face and eyelid skin. He treated me with several lasers and lights from a company called Sciton which unknown to me is the best technology on the market. The companies mantra is “because results matter” and I can tell you Dr Z gave me some amazing results. My face skin is smooth, even toned, and beautiful. I can’t thank him enough for all he has done for me. If you are looking for superior care and great results, Dr Z is your man!

Dr. Z is knowledgeable, caring, easy to communicate with and genuine. Would not trust anyone else with my eyes.

Dr. Zatezalo is very nice and friendly, but I don't think he knew what was wrong with my eyes. I wish more doctors were comfortable saying "I don't know" instead of recommending procedures that wouldn't address the problem. Being at a plastic surgeons office can be a vulnerable experience and you can sometimes find yourself wondering if you should get surgery you don't actually need out of desperation to fix your insecurities. Always get a second opinion. ETA: Very weird and argumentative response to my review. Dont misrepresent a patient's experience to try and discredit a review you dont like. They seem to think my review is because I didn't receive treatment that I asked for ( "demands"), which it is not. I did not ask for two different injections. Dr. Zatezalo offered an opinion for upper eyelid filler that I had gotten done by a different provider. I did not ask him to fix it during my appointment. I did ask for under eye filler at the end of the appointment and I accepted that he didn't think I needed it. My appointment was for my sunken eyes (enophthalmos), which Dr. Zatezalo kept attributing to things that made no sense, like my under eye filler and the position of my brows. Even after I told him that I had already tried a Dysport brow lift, he recommended I get a surgical brow lift, something I do not need and it would not have addressed the problem. And from my research, a temporal brow lift makes your eyes look smaller, which was the opposite of what I needed. I accepted his "deliberative approach", yet was sent pricing quotes for 3 different procedures. It is fine if he did not think I had enophthalmos, but there was no reason to recommend 3 different procedures that I did not need. That is why I would have simply preferred being told "I don't know". Needless to say, by the looks of their response, my concern and reason for appointment were not adequately addressed by this doctor. At all.

Wow! Dr. Z and his office are THE best. My daughter was referred due to a cyst on her eyelid. We visited and scheduled a surgery date for removal. But within a short time, the cyst became enlarged and angry. I sent photos in an email and they got back to me the same day with suggestions. Then when the thing just became unruly, I called and they got me in that day. Dr. Z was AMAZING with my daughter—warm, friendly, easy, funny—and he was able to do what needed to be done (I’ll spare you the gross details) and it provided much relief for her. He’s great at explaining things for a layperson (me) and we couldn’t be happier with them. And all the office staff are fabulous. Really, they should get 10 stars. ⭐️

Dr. Z, you did a great job. Thank you!

Dr. Zatezalo is the best! I have been dealing with the devastating results of a botched blepharoplasty from a local plastic surgeon that created a variety of problems. Dr. Zatezalo told me immediately what could be fixed and what could not. He is clear and blunt in his explanations, but at the same time maintains and transmits a positive attitude. I just started treatments and will probably have surgery to repair the damage that was done, and I know I could not be in better hands. All the patients that I see in his office are enthusiastic about him. He is probably the best oculoplastic surgeon in this area.

I am overjoyed at the results of my surgery with Dr. Zatezalo ("Dr. Z"). For reference, I am 47 years old and when I was 28, I had a lower blepharoplasty to remove the "bags" under my eyes. For many years now, I have been so bothered by my hooded eyelids, which are now gone! I am 2 weeks post-surgery and I am almost completely healed. I did what Dr. Z suggested at our initial consult: an upper blepharoplasty, brow lift, and laser for my bottom lids. In a few months, he will add filler to my lower lids where there is some volume loss. I am 100% THRILLED with how I look: it looks natural, I look like myself but more rested and refreshed, I can see my eyelids and makeup looks amazing now, and perhaps most of all, I've now removed that constant feeling of "not being able to stand my eyes" which is how I've felt for years- dissecting each photos I'm in, honing in on how droopy my eyelids look- and now I can feel great about how I look, all due to Dr. Z's expertise! I had never even heard of a brow lift but doing that as well really contributed to how great it turned out. I cannot say enough about Dr. Z! First of all, he's confident and precise- very careful and thoughtful about his approach- which is what you want in a surgeon. He has a winning personality and I felt a connection with him off the bat. Before scheduling the surgery, I read other reviews and one reviewer commented that it's like you have a friend and a surgeon all in one, and I couldn't agree more. Dr. Z has nothing but good vibes all around him, including his office staff: Kimmy & Destinee are outstanding- friendly, warm, super responsive to my 20 questions, and very caring and professional. I always love it when I meet someone who is doing what they are born to do, and that is Dr. Z. I am forever grateful for him, and highly, highly recommend him!

I can honestly not recommend Dr. Zatezalo enough! After a failed surgery by a previous surgeon, my grandmothers eyelashes began to grow inwards, not only causing discomfort, but her cornea was being severely irritated and scratched up. My grandmother, who is over the age of 70, would always come home in tears after many appointments to the optometrists, the pain of having to get her lashes plucked nearly every two to three weeks was unbearable. This went on for a couple of months. Luckily, we were recommended Dr. Zatezalo. Dr. Zatezalo is not only very professional in his work but the amount of care my grandmother received prior to her surgery was excellent. My grandmother speaks no English so she was relieved that she was able to communicate with Dr. Zatezalo, she would come home and say how much she loved her appointments with him because he understood her and never ignored her concerns. Now after her right upper lid marginal rotation surgery, she has recovered exceptionally and we can see her lashes growing out normally, no discomfort at all! We were blessed to have found Dr. Zatezalo. Dr. Zatezalo’s care is extraordinary and we recommend him 100%. Not only was he caring of her before and after surgery, but the staff was exceptional! I was able to communicate with Kimmy through email and the responses were always quick and full of information. We wish nothing but the best for this amazing surgeon and his staff, they have exceeded our expectations.

I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Z. He passionately cares, wants to do the right thing for you, wants to know what is important to you, will give you heartfelt advice, and will go over the top to make sure the outcome is what you want. He has a light and careful touch, so is gentle and a perfectionist, so everything turns out beautifully. You will feel as though in one bundle you have a wonderful doctor and a great friend. I highly recommend you see him for your care!
