Patient for orthoscopic knee surgery. Very dissatisfied with care, result and staff issues! ..., May 21, 2012 I had a knee (minuscus) surgery performed there in 2010. They indicated that I would be back to 100% in about 10 days after this orthosopic surgery. Instead, I have been plagued with pain ever since. I did all the therapy, taken cordizone and suparts to no avail. Along the way I have had issues with the staff over appointments and payments. They have claimed on two occasions that I was grossly delinquent on payments..... first example was when I was taking a 6 week round of supparts injections. They indicated at the start that the insurance paid it all, until they discovered that this wasn't true and upon one of my last visits for this, they initially tried to suspend any further treatment until my account was paid in full....something less than $100.00. Having serious pain issues, I booked an appointment with the Doctor, who I almost never saw, always relegated to a PA, and waited the ap[proximate two months to see the Dr, before the office staff called and said I owed them $106 and the Dr would not see me until I had paid this in full and all of this years deductible, in advance.... because of my past payment history..... a one time error, that they were responsible for. I believe, personally, that the Dr. violated his Hippocratic Oath when he refused to see me based upon this. His staff would not allow me to speak direct to him and then charged me .65 cents a page for my records. I have subsequently heard that this Dr. is great for shoulders, nut that knees are not his specialty. Based upon my experience, I would agree, since I still have a serious problem with my knee. Some months after the unsuccessful surgery, they indicated to me that I might be a good candidate for a whole knee replacement....something not even remotely on the radar before the orthoscopic minuscus surgery. Based upon the level of professionalism from the office staff and the fact that I have not achieved the desired level of health promised, I would not recommend this Dr. for any surgery or |

Warning!! Therapists causes more harm than good! Choose someone else!..., Mar 25, 2012 This therapist has serious issues. Careful, she is inappropriate (sexually provocative with male clients) and can cause more damage than good. Wish I'd never met her. She needs to see a therapist, herself. |

HORRIBLE courtesy from the RUDEST receptionist I have ever encountered...., Mar 1, 2012 A receptionist has never treated me so rude. Since Dr. Zlobl’s office doesn’t take later afternoon appointments, and I don't get out of work until 4 p.m., I had to put in for sick time in order to leave work early. I also had to secure coverage for my classroom because I am a teacher. Since the person covering for my class ran 5 minutes late, I arrived 7 minutes late to my appointment. The receptionist was extremely rude in telling me we would probably have to re-schedule due to Dr. Zlobl's schedule, and said she called me yesterday and left me a "five minute" message explaining how important it was to be on time. I received NO such message, and when I plainly explained this, the receptionist became snooty and said, "Well, I’m not making it up." Then I realized I HAD received a call yesterday from a number I did not know. This caller did not leave a message. I pulled out my cell phone and asked what the office’s phone number was. She replied that they have 6 different lines. So I told her I would read her the number and asked if she could identify it, and she said, "I don't care." I couldn't believe it!! She didn’t care?!?! When you work with people, it’s imperative that you are empathetic, and Dr. Zlobl’s office proved that they are anything but empathetic. In the business that my husband co-owns, this type of customer service would cause you to lose your job. Needless to say, I left and did not re-schedule an appointment. |

Go some where else besides Pulmonary Associates. Lousy service..., Feb 2, 2012 His uncertified assistant does everything. Diagnoses you and prescribes medication. Then the Doctor comes in and does nothing. No check up or anything. All this after waiting 1 1/2 Hrs. in a room. Doctor compares everything to car parts. Must have been former mechanic. Doesn't explain anything. Just tell you that happens to everyone. Didn't bother to look at CT scan. |

misdiagnosed and dismissed by this doctor serious condition..., Jan 6, 2012 Extremely friendly and bright, saw him for years while he couldn't figure out my medical issue. When it worsened extremely and I fell violently ill for weeks, I pressed him for an answer and he became angry, dismissive and misdiagnosed me. Finally, he sent a referral in the mail, with instructions to call his office, but his office couldn't find a specialist for me (liver) and he put no urgency on the referral. I had to find my own surgeon and it took me months to get in as a self referred person. Surgeon wanted to operate the following week, it was that serious. |
