Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.July 31, 2024FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTERHe is very knowledgeable and very professional in all respects.
July 25, 2024FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTERThe attention of doctor Zaugg was not good, everything was good with the assistant, she took the time to ask me all the questions. After that I waited more than 40 minutes for the doctor and when he finally arrived, he just read the notes and told me that he couldn't do anything for me. He just told me that I could use some drops in my eyes that I was already using but he didn't see in their notes.
July 21, 2024MORAN EYE CENTERDr Zaugg identify the issue with my eyes quickly and fix the problem with a very short visit/use of the laser
July 21, 2024FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTERI'm grateful for the help in determining my current eyes condition and discussing the perspectives and possible strategy.
July 17, 2024FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTERDr Zaugg is professional, kind, easy to understand, likable, thorough, and an outstanding surgeon. He explained each step of the process to allay fear. His entire supporting staff of excellent individuals reflect their admiration of him. He is busy yet caring. He sacrificed extra time to accommodate his busy schedule, which demonstrates his commitment to helping improve other's eyesight. Obviously, I respect this fine physician.
July 17, 2024FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTERI would recommend Doctor Zaugg to anyone needing similar treatment. I honestly can't give him a higher compliment or trust in his expertise and professionalism.
