Dr. Herman Zarate was very informative he explain everything in complete detail and very knowledgeable. The overall experience was great
March 8, 2017Startavia B.Verified patient
I noticed as I waited for my appointment, he served a Hispanic/ Latin/ Spanish-speaking patient community and that the elderly of the patients were very trusting and respecting of him. I found that to be endearing and a positive testament to his practice. He was very helpful to my particular issue too; with payment options and with speed of treatment.
I thank him very much for his hard work and wish him good health to continue it!

I first saw Dr. Zarate for a bone spur several years ago. He is a very wonderful doctor. Very professional, respectful and very knowledgeable. I haven't have any problem with my heel since. I sent my son to him for a toe infection and he took care of him. He is very caring and if you follow his instructions you will be healed. I will always recommend Dr. Zarate because of his good work.
January 1, 2016Florence B.Verified patient
He is highly a professional that knows his work. Interacts with the patient with respect. Everything well explanatory to me. Will recommend a lot of diabetic patients to him.
November 10, 2015Christiana O.Verified patient
I like Dr. Zarate. He is knowledgeable and straight forward. I’m making another appointment and following through with my treatment.
December 5, 2013Judy B.Verified patient
Dr. Zarate allowed me to feel comfortable and well taken care. The demand for his medical consultation from his patients kept him busy, but he was not rushed and offered expert advise with resolutions to my personal issue.
Thank you again Dr. Zarate for seeing me on your Birthday, and encouraging my confidence to wear flip flops in public again.
Gracis y Feliz Cumpleanos!!!!
May 11, 2013Raul F.Verified patient
Dr. Zarate was excellent, but all of the appointments for the day were severely pushed back from a morning emergency. I wish that someone in the office called me so that I could have rescheduled, rather than spend my entire afternoon in the office (especially since I came from Alexandria). That said, I'm returning for treatment and know that the wait situation is probably not a normal occurrence.
October 2, 2012Caitlin B.Verified patient
Very informative and extremely helpful and understanding of my situation. If possible may be hired as my Primary Care doctor if desired.
May 29, 2012Alex T.Verified patient
Very good doctor!
May 7, 2012Carlos V.Verified patient
Dr. Zarate is very profesional.I liked the way that he treat me and the way he explained to me what my health problem is. I really recomend him.
December 15, 2011Sara G.Verified patient
I was VERY pleased with Dr. Zarate. He was kind and friendly and he was educated and informed more than a few other podiatrist that I have been too. I just REALLY DO NOT CARE for his staff. The receptionist was not friendly to me and another person in the waiting room made the same comment. Also whoever his female assistant was not really nice either. He would have an EXCELLENT practice if his staff was better trained on customer service but HE WAS GREAT!
May 19, 2011Rachel B.Verified patient
Dr. Zarate was extremely informative, excellent bedside manner, thorough in his explanation and diagnosis. I would recommend him highly.
