May 29, 2018
Dr. Zegarra is fantastic in all aspects. On my initial consultation he spent over an hour with me, comforting me, assuring me and going over the surgical procedure that would be taking place for my rectal cancer. I am going into my second year cancer free. I literally owe this man my life. to me his will always be more than just a Doctor. I am eternally grateful. Peter Perez
