At this stage of life, 92 with dementia/Alzheimers, most of the conversations with Dr. Zinkhan are centered on tough subject areas that are extremely difficult to discuss openly. Dr. Zinkhans compassion is more important than his incredible, deep body of knowledge. As we talk, he is typing notes about our visit and follow-on assignments, while looking directly at me. He's amazing. The visit summaries are detailed, follow the discussions of the visit, making them more memorable, and clear, as is he. If neurologists have a bad rep about the lack of bedside manners or interest in the seemingly mundane to someone so highly trained, Dr. Zinkhan makes up for the broad community of his specialty.

Dr. Zinkhan is without a doubt the best physician I have ever seen. I wish all of my physicians had his ability to listen, educate, and follow through. Dr Zinkhan treats my mother, with Alzheimer's, and me for a Traumatic Brain Injury with care, attention to detail, and giving us the time the appointment takes.

Dr. Zinkhan has been awesome! He was quick to give diagnosis, treatment options, asked questions, and truly considers what is going to be best for the individual. He really involves the patient in their own care, and is open minded with treatment. Both my wife and I suffered from frequent chronic migraines, and since we both started seeing him we have both have had amazing and drastic reduction in migraines, and a massive quality of life increase. Highly recommend him to anyone!

He very well may be THE BEST doctor I have ever had in my life. I have had many, so that's saying something! He is very attentive, he listens, and he puts patient's concerns at a top priority. He is very good at addressing any concerns I may have, whether they are realistic or not. If a question or concern is not something to worry about he expresses this and explains why. He never talks down or is condescending in any way, shape or form. In general, he does an excellent job of explaining anything and everything necessary. He is just a fantastic doctor. He checks every box someone would want/need in their physician.
