Zach is terrific: super straight and to the point in his communication, and extremely personable. In both our visits, Zach made me feel welcome, seen, heard, and gave me the proper tests to both diagnose carefully and, (upon our second visit after the MRI) put me at ease about my knee injury being very handle-able with PT and promised followup to be certain of that.
