Vincent Zizak's Online Review Report Card

Dr prescribes medicine that is not proven for O-65. Believe it caused renal issues. Also did not provide resolution to my problem. Could have made it worse.

He was dismissive of the issue that brought me in. He didn't read my history and barely let me explain my clinical history. Three years later I found out he wrote recommendations in my chart for treatment but never told me those recommendations. I saw him for a total of 5 minutes and he acted like that was 3 minutes too long. I could have had treatment 3 years ago if he had deigned to talk to me for more than 5 minutes.

Proceed with caution, folks. I have a weird and pretty rare condition in my ears. In a nutshell, gross stuff builds up way faster than it should, I can only clean so much of it myself and need to be monitored by a specialist. When I moved up here, Dr Zizak admitted he'd never heard of it, which wasn't too surprising because it's so rare, but when he examined me, he said everything was healthy and normal. I thought maybe it spontaneously healed? I was having earaches so I went back in. Dr Zizak looked for a single minute. Totally healed, he said. Don't bother coming back. That struck me as weird. Finally, I broke down and bought myself an opthalmoscope and looked for myself. It didn't take a professional to tell that there was no miraculous healing, the condition was still there and was getting worse because it had been left untreated. I'm lucky I caught it quick and it was nothing life-threatening. It's disturbing to think of how many people will have serious medical problems just because their doctor really doesn't care.

Dr. Zizack was professional. He explained each step as he proceeded. I gained confidence in him. I was reserved as i left 4 messages asking for a call back. This was my 1st ENT appt and I needed to know if I should pre-med. I did not get a call back. Everyone is busy, Covid and everything.

I went in with bad vertigo. He took 4 minutes to tell me to go to a PT. I had to ask him to look in my ear. He gave no explanation and the follow up visit was worse. As I research vertigo, many options are available. Don’t waste your time.

Dr Zizak explained how everything on my first ultrasound report and how my thyroid biopsies would be done at the imaging center . Even walked me to scheduling desk before I checked out and also gave me a copy of my first ultrasound report.

I had three appts in the course of a year. Each one was one to two minutes long. He never even sat down. Very friendly and down to Earth. My concerns were always (nicely) dismissed. I went for a second opinion. New doc looked at same scan and data and diagnosed a thyroid condition and started medication.
