Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Zachary Roberts, MD, is consistently praised by patients for his compassionate, kind, and attentive bedside manner. Reviewers frequently highlight his thorough explanations of diagnoses, procedures, and treatment options, noting that he takes time to answer questions without making patients feel rushed. Many patients also commend his surgical skill and expertise, particularly in colorectal care, with several describing smooth recoveries and successful outcomes. His personal touch stands out as well—numerous reviews mention that he personally calls or messages patients to follow up, which patients find reassuring. Multiple reviewers who met him through the ER remarked they felt lucky to have been assigned to him, and many say they would highly recommend him to others.

Patients also share

Constructive feedback in the reviews is minimal. One patient described significant frustration during an initial visit, feeling there was an unclear or lengthy timeline before surgery could be scheduled after enduring prolonged pain; this was resolved in a follow-up visit, and the patient ultimately expressed gratitude for Dr. Roberts' care and understanding. Separately, one review mentioned a technical issue during a virtual visit, where the video connection did not work and the appointment had to shift to a phone call; the patient noted Dr. Roberts still provided a thorough visit despite this hiccup. Beyond these isolated instances, no recurring concerns or patterns of dissatisfaction were found in the reviews.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
