Dr. Zlotnicki was great at explaining everything to me. He is excellent at what he does. I have no insurance, and he still treated me like he cared about my health. He is a fantastic doctor, and I recommend him to anybody. He cares about his patients. No matter what.

Dr. Zlotnicki is an amazing doctor. He gave me hope when other doctors frowned their noses at me because of my weight. Dr. Zlotnicki, however, gave me a chance. He believed in me. I lost every bit of the weight and more. As I said before, Dr. Zlotnicki is amazing.
