Highly-skilled, compassionate, throrough, on-time specialist

As others have noted, insurance provides limited coverage for Dr. Zashin's services, but that is the only potential negative. I have been a patient of Dr. Zashin's since 2004. He is efficient and on-time. He never gives up on the patient, regardless of the difficulty in diagnosing the disease or finding effective treatment. He keeps abreast of new studies, medications, and even alternative medications. He believes in second opinions and is never afraid to refer you to a specialist that he believes may help you. He's responsive to patient concerns and frequently directly contacts a patient when he has a concern or a potential solution to health concerns. I've seen many specialists in the last 13 years, and none of them compare to the quality of care I receive from Dr. Zashin.

Good specialist, efficient office, and overall care

Dr. Zashin is not on my insurance either, but it's hard to turn away an excellent doctor. His office is efficient and generally caring. My first visit was detailed, compassionate, and on-target. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which is difficult to treat so discouraging. However, Dr. Zashin is persistent and instills hope. Dr. Zashin is the kind of doctor who actually remembers his patients and will call them personally if he has thought of a new way to attack a problem. He stays completely educated with regard to the illnesses he treats. I do wish Dr. Zashin could take a few more minutes in a follow up visit to help me to really understand the full nature of the illness, what test results mean, and what to expect long term. However, he is the best doctor I have ever seen . . . and unfortunately, there have been many.

• Pros: Validates parking :-), great diagnostician, doesn't dismiss your own knowledge about your body
• Cons: it's fantastic that he's not condescending, but remembering that chronic illness can be overwhelming he might explain better

Although Dr. Zashin was not on my insurance plan, I felt the personal attention and thoroughness of his evaluation was worth the extra cost. My visit was scheduled quickly and there was no waiting when it came my appointment time. Dr. Zashin called me personally with my results and explained things so I was able to understand them. I look forward to visiting the office again to follow up on my arthritis.

• Pros: personal attention, caring office, ran on schedule
• Cons: not on my insurance
