Dr Zika’s is a wise and caring physician. She listened carefully when taking my health history and restored my hope and confidence that with a change in medication I could manage my diabetes .

Verified patient
Dr. Zikra is great physician. I trust her judgment and skills and recommend her to someone looking for a good doctor. The office staff is pleasant too.
Verified patient
The first woman I saw was kind and MUCH friendlier than the French woman that normally does the pre-appointment stuff (weight, blood pressure, etc). The nurse practitioner that saw me was very nice and informative. She shared some relevant information with me that I had never heard before and I’ve been seeing endocrinologists for the past 3-4 years. She was quick and even spent extra time to draw my blood when the other woman was unavailable.
Verified patient
Dr Zikra genuinely cares about her patients an attribute that is hard to find these days. She has helped myself and my husband immensely with our diabetic control
Verified patient
They are all professional and kind. Doctor Maha was sweet, respectful, attentive to all my concers and immediately started a treatment to get me back on a healthy path.
Verified patient
She & her assistants were all very nice & professional. Only problem was secy couldn't download my medical records that I had input on the Zocdoc website & I had to fill out the forms all over again but I don't think it was their fault but might be a Zocdoc glitch
Verified patient
Dr. Zikra is Excellent! She knows what questions to ask in order to make a proper diagnosis. Her mannerism and professional approach are much appreciated!
Verified patient
She lacks professionalism, bed side manner is horrible and she becomes agitated if you question her on any advice or diagnosis. You are rushed through the appointment , lacks empathy. Horrible !!
Verified patient
I want to cancel my next visit.
Verified patient
Wonderful first visit with Dr Zikra. Staff members were very pleasant and professional. Analyze my present condition and took me off of two unnecessary medications. Looking forward to my next visit.
Verified patient
Was seen at my appointment time by the nurse, was a complete visit and they didn't rush through things. Dr. Zikra was wonderful, explained things well, and came up with a treatment plan rather than just going with the current treatment. I am glad she wants to see me get better rather than just stay the same and not get worse. Hard to find doctors who want to treat chronic conditions rather than just manage them.
Verified patient
Amazing
Verified patient
The front desk woman was aweful and ignored me when trying to discuss an issue, she spoke at me not to me. The doctor herself was fine but I had to wait a hour past my scheduled appointment because she decided to go on break. When she did finally see me she immediately wanted to have me out the door and schedule more appointments...things that could have been done within a few minutes.
Verified patient
Very typical of today's physician. Not much time to spend discussing problem. Was unfamiliar with case history despite providing records.
Verified patient
Fantastic! Very attentive and caring Dr.

Verified patient
Everyone that I met was very polite, cordial and helpful. Dr. Zikra was very specific in telling me how she could help me. She listened, and was very attentive. I am so glad that I found her online. Dr. Zikra even noticed one thing that I did not bring up in the visit and she stated that if I went and put a certain type of medicine on the area, it would help. I think she is a gem.
Verified patient
Excellent Doctor I recommend 100%
Dr. Zikra is excellent--she's the first doctor to really listen to me about my symptoms. She's extremely smart and very friendly. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an endocrinologist.
Excellent, from the patient and friendly receptionist to the well-informed and sensitive nurse who took vital signs and background information to Dr. Zikra herself, who was knowledgeable, patient, and optimistic. High marks.
