Dr Laura Zaacks is one of the finest physicians that have ever treated me. In addition to her professional demeanor, she is kind, caring and has an excellent bedside manner.Dr. Zaacks correctly diagnosed my painful chronic condition and she and her team partnered with me resulting in complete control of the symptoms and alleviation of all the pain. Dr. Zaacks also worked with my health insurance provider and my pharmacy benefits manager to get my very expensive medication pre-authorized and covered (within one day of my appointment with her). I cannot say thank you enough to Dr. Laura Zaacks and her rheumatology team for helping me (and my family) with my medical condition to now live my life pain free.
