Dr. Zelenka is always a good listener and does not make you feel rushed through the appointment. He may suggest a new medication and confirms that you are OK with it....i.e. He keeps you "involved" in your care process. I recommended him to my partner ... That is how good of a doctor he is. (He was recommended to me by another family member!)
