Patient Reviews
Aug 29, 2024
Dr. Zell surgically repaired my ankle fractures and provided the postoperative care that enabled me to return to an independent, active, and pain free life. Throughout my care, he listened attentively to my concerns and goals in order to tailor interventions that provided the best outcomes possible. He is not only a greatly skilled orthopedist but an excellent communicator who provided superb care.
