Rudolf Zak's Online Review Report Card

A little over a year ago I had ankle tendon surgery by Dr. Zak. As I started rehab, I complained about lack of feeling and dead zones in certain areas of my foot. I was told it would take time but would change over time. I repeated this concern numerous times including the last visit I had with Dr. Zak when I explained that nothing had changed. Thirteen months later there has been little change and my foot is still not right and at no time has that office reached out to me.

There are many qualified doctors around, but unfortunately they have one foot out the door while they talk to you because they have other patients waiting. Dr. Zak is not like that. He seems to care. He answered my questions and I did not feel rushed. I highly recommend him and his staff.

Dr. Zak is an angel. I fractured my ankle pretty badly in June 2019. Had a horrible experience with my first surgeon and was in severe pain for months. I was referred to Dr. Zak and after another surgery I am finally walking around again and back to work. I am so thankful for Dr. Zak as I felt hopeless before I was under his care. Thank you for everything. Your patience, kindness, and dedication makes all the difference for someone going through a tough time after a traumatic injury.

I've been having foot issues for years now and finding Dr. Zak has changed my life. He does excellent work and makes the entire process painless. Katie Katie Trauner has been amazing as well. She has guided me through the entire process for 2 years and her customer service is top notch.

Working with Dr. Zak has been great over the last two years. He and Katie Trauner have made the entire process smooth as can be. Thank you and Katie for all you do.

As a flight attendant diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis, I was experiencI guess a large amount of pain, almost unable to walk at times. As the nature of my job keeps me on my feet for hours on end and walking on extremely hard surfaces, I was rendered almost immobile. I called out sick from work to nurse my feet until I could get my second visit and second cortisone shot from Dr. Zak. As I did not know how effective the second shot would be, I asked him to fill out FMLA (family leave) paperwork that would excuse my past absence from work as a possibly ongoing medical condition and would also allow me the ability to do physical therapy if my condition continued as almost unbearable without being penalized at work . I explained the nature of my job, and he has refused to fill out the paperwork. I asked what am I to do if I can barely walk? The answer was, I don’t know. But I’m not giving you family leave for Plantar Fasciitis. I qualify for it and my company sanctions it. I cannot begin to tell you how disappointing he has been to me.

I am a 65 year old female, that had end-stage arthritis in one ankle. I have waited and suffered 10 years, until I felt the ankle replacement surgery was a viable option. I went to Dr. Rudolf Zak because he came highly recommended from the research I had done. I had been to multiple doctors in the past that wanted to fused the ankle. He recommended I have my ankle replaced with the Wright Infinity Ankle Prosthesis and lengthening of my Achillies Tendon. The whole experience from the Surgical Center, the Staff, Dr. Zak, PhysicalTherapy, was first class. I was weight bearing in 4 weeks and have not looked back. I feel as though Dr. Zak gave me my life back. Thank you for being there for me Dr. Zak. I am so thankful, happy and back to walking without pain 6-7 miles a day.

Rushed me in and out. After surgery he let someone else remove my stitches. I wound up with a problem

I have never met a doctor that spends so little time with his patient. On my first follow up after surgery he walked in said "looks good see you in 3 weeks" Never saw him after the surgery in the recovery room. He comes across as he thinks he's better than you and really doesn't care about any questions you have for him. Canceled my 2nd surgery with him. I'll find someone that listens and takes time with his patients.
