  • I felt that Dr. Zhao was proficient in assessing the changes in my condition and relevant history including a good review of the images of the fixation of my leg/ankle fractures. She additionally had a open mind about how to proceed with a distinct approach to be patient-focused in the medical decision making process. She understood that I was not able to make it through the process of getting the diagnostics done without being assisted with the progress in my recovery and improving my mobility safely. She demonstrated that she was very aware of the fact that I was suffering from pains in the right leg due to spasms in the muscles that I was without any help from. She validated the seriousness of my condition and my experience in a way that was both ethical and professional.

    2025-10-05

  • Dr. Zhao is exceptionally well trained and knowledgeable about PM&R but neurology as well. This allowed her to organize and summarize my HPI and elements of my work up and treatments over the past ~ 10 weeks expertly and comprehensively. Most important to me, was her review of the results from the EMG and NCT, which had not happened. She could give me an idea of what to expect going forward. She reviewed, with me the results of the imaging studies I had. Her care, while narrowly focused, felt more comprehensive care. It's hard to describe, but it was like I had a quarterback for my original Chief Complaint. Dr Zhao is an OUTSTANDING PHYSICIAN with a deep and broad background in Neurology and PMR, very reassuring. She is caring, empathetic, knowledgeable and warm. Someone in whom I could have faith and trust. Not sure residents and fellows are getting such comprehensive training or mentoring. My good fortune to have been scheduled with Dr. Zhao.
