I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Zeltzer. She took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns, addressed each one thoughtfully, and created a clear treatment plan for me. I felt very comfortable during the entire visit, she was kind, patient, and professional. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and thorough doctor.

My first visit with her was so good I feel it was life altering. I had been dealing with three issues that were ignored by my former provider. Dr. Zeltzer listened carefully and kindly offered suggestions. She explained why this main problem developed and how I could improve it. I followed her advice and I am so very grateful for her expertise!

Dr. Zeltzer is by far the best doctor I’ve visited. I was scheduled for my first physical in years, and Dr. Zeltzer went above and beyond to ensure I had a clear picture of my current health and where I could make improvements by not only ordering various tests but also seeking to understand me as a person. What impressed me most was not her medical expertise—which is obvious—but how she communicated my test results in a highly understandable way. I could not recommend her more highly.

Christian K.

Dr. Zeltzer was very thorough and professional. My first visit and she spent a great portion of it discussing family medical histories and reviewing previous treatment plans. Only then did we discuss future options. Very impressed.

We recently moved to the area and finding a new Dr. was a little scary for us but we are so grateful we found Dr. Zeltzer! She is very thorough and a great listener. I am a recent cancer survivor and she has been really helpful at referrals as well. She always makes sure to follow up to make sure you are getting the appointments you need and the staff is amazing, a big thank you to nurse Gerri as well!!! - Del

Jacki S.

The staff was friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my first visit with Dr. Zeltzer. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know me and my situation. I felt like she truly cared about getting me the care that I need. She seemed genuinely concerned for my health which made me feel like I had chosen the right doctor. Update: I have more had 3 visits and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Setzler is amazing!! She doesn't rush my appointments she seems genuinely concerned about my health and how to get me back on track. She listens and tries to find ways to better my situation and doesn't just throw me a one size fits all solution. I truly have never felt more comfortable and genuinely taken care of by a physician. I'm so glad I found Dr. Setzler and her team.
