Patient Reviews
Jul 20, 2023
I am so happy that Dr. Zelner will perform my upcoming colonoscopy. Six years ago he performed the same procedure and he was so great that I chose him again. I appreciate the conversation that I had with Dr. Zelner regarding the procedures of my colonoscopy. He answered my questions and was thorough in his explanation. He was kind and understanding. Tammra was awesome and organized the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Zelner and Tammra. They are the best!
