Patient Reviews
Dec 26, 2024
I was mountain biking near Huntingdon PA when I blew my wall on RCA which caused platelets to block 100% of artery. Luckily, I got to ER where Dr. ZAHER quickly arrived and installed 2 stents in new cath lab after I coded 4 times. BTW he had another person code happening in this small hospital right after me. We both lived! Five more minutes and I wouldn't be writing this. I can't say enough about his knowledge, skills, professionalism, and ability to explain in easy to understand terms. I was also life flighted to Altoona and he followed up with me there and did another cath to make sure I was good to go. I stayed in ICU for a week. He checked on me daily. He even followed up during the holidays. I'm mountain biking again thanks to Dr. Zaher. I highly recommend him!!! I can't thank him enough nor can my family. Don't even hesitate using him. He was great under pressure!
