Dr. Zaraa is one of the very few doctors I have encountered who truly listens with compassion and understanding. I never feel like he is rushing through appointments, and I always leave feeling heard/understood. My case is complicated, and he is consistently thorough in his questions and thoughtful in his approach. I appreciate that he explains his logic and reasoning which helps me feel informed and involved in my care. He is an amazing provider, and that is incredibly rare to find.
