Dr. Zebrack is always courteous, professional, and very thorough. You will always have your questions answered fully and completely. I will always recommend him to be your doctor without reservation.

I found Dr. Zebrack to be very thorough and kind, while being professional. He did a good job of explaining my options for my problem area. He also went out of his way to follow up on something on my x-ray (not in his immediate area of interest), that looked unusual, but turned out to be some calcification on a rib that I have had shown up on x-rays for many years. He suggested I follow up with my primary care doctor if I had concerns. I do not, but I appreciated his concerns and appropriate actions. Very nice doctor.

It was easy to get verified at the front desk then moved onto X-rays and the staff was exceptionally helpful and pleasant! When going thru something new, being pleasant really helps! Then up to the 4th floor, to see my doctor., Dr Zebrack is very professional, calm, relaxed and pleasant to speak with! He answered all my questions easily, he makes you feel like you’ll be taken care of with his great knowledge and with a very caring staff to assist him if and when needed! The nurses take you back and get your vitals. The staff there are also very professional, easy going and made me feel welcomed. After our consult I felt assured to get my hip replacement and anxious to start healing and doing the therapy to get back to normal as soon as I’m able to! On the way out there’s an area you stop at for scheduling you operation. The staff there was just as nice and pleasant as all the others that I had come into contact with! I am really happy to give a review where it is consistent throughout the process! I’m truly glad that I will have both hips replaced completely by Dr. Zebrack, at ROC in Reno!!! Thank you, to all for making this experience so welcoming! when it’s really a very unsure feeling walking in! Sincerely,
