Dr. Zia demonstrated genuine interest in my health. I felt she took ownership of my issues and applied her most expert knowledge in assisting me.

Dr. Zia was through and helpful. We discussed all my medication issues in detail and her recommendation were appropriate with that in mind. I had a feeling of confidence in her care and I was an active participant.
