Monica Zilkoski's Online Review Report Card Is this you? Claim your profile

I’ve had my foot operated on 3X by different Drs , her being the third and She was by far more efficient, knowledgeable and competent of them all. Plus the surgery center was amazing. Michele O’Sullivan

She repaired my Trimalleolar ankle fracture. I walk without a limp and can do pretty much anything other than "leap tall buildings". Her bedside manner is quiet. Dr. Z is definitely a highly skilled physician, I would definitely recommend her.

What a great caring gracious Dr.--she did a wonderful surgical-- job fixing my husbands foot-- and was so informative --giving all necessary info and answering all our questions--felt really well cared for by her and the entire staff at Hope orthopedics thanks so much Dr. Monica

Lobby staff were abundant and very helpful with the computerized check-in. Wait time was disturbingly long--no one came out to let me know Dr Z''s schedule was running late. I was escorted back to see Dr Zilkoski 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment. However, Dr Z was personable, knowledgeable and informative. She explained the x-ray and her surgical plan. She listened to my concerns and answered my questions. I feel confident that she will do her very best to resolve my foot issues.

Dr. Zilkoski has treated a serious foot condition for me for several years. This included surgery. I have experienced excellent, attentive and caring service from not only the doctor but the staff as well. I would definitely recommend her.

She explained my condition thoroughly and surgery was scheduled promptly. The staff in the office was courteous and I was able to get my lab work done the same day. All of my questions about the surgery - Achilles tendon repair - and the recovery were answered.

Dr. Zilkoski fused my great toe & after the long non weight bearing period, I've had zero pain. That is especially good news since I had the other one done by a doc in Corvallis 2 years ago & I will have problems with it forever because of what he did. Don't take chances with any other foot surgeon. Just put your foot in Dr. Zilkoski's capable hands ?? you'll be glad you did.

She's lousy

1 1/2 years after injury the fractured bones in my foot are not healed and I am a cripple thanks to Dr. Zilkoski who couldn't be bothered to do her job correctly. I have 3 fractured bones in foot, when I saw her she sent me to 6 weeks of physical therapy on fresh fractures in the foot. The physical therapist said after 6 weeks of pt that the PT had done no good. Dr.Zilkoski also falsified the medical record when she stated in the record that the bones were healed while the same day in the exam room looking at the x-rays she told me again that the bones were healing. She released me as a patient and told me to "just walk on the foot". After 5 months of extreme pain and lameness in the foot, I saw another Dr. who took x-rays and told me the foot still hurts because the bones are not healed, he provided an orthopedic "walking boot" and wanted to get a machine to help the bone tissue grow, but the insurance denied because of Dr. Zilkoski's false medical record that the bones were healed. Please for your own health and safety stay away from this person - she does not deserve to be called a Dr. in my opinion. I would give no star but can't submit without something there.

Office staff aweful, I called with serious problem couldn't get an appointment in a timely manner so I went back and had surgery done in Seattle Foot and Ankle Institute where she got her Fellowship. I was able to get in right away. They did surgery right away. Mistake I made was allow post opp care to be done with. Dr.Zilkoski. I was horrified at the slack approach by nursing assistant removing stitches without something clean under foot to unsanitary tape used. Doctor touched my wound without gloves. I did complain and was ignored. Doctor popped in to glance at wound. So, yes now I have an infection and I'm nauseous 24/7 and have to see the wound care clinic. Staff is arrogant and rude. Stick a fork in me, I'm done! I was so excited to be her patient and I've not had a very good experience at all. Now I'm scared I will lose my foot.
