I have been a patient of Dr. Zaren's for 10 years. He was recommended to me by my surgeon in Chicago, after I relocated to Savannah from Chicago. In fact, my surgeon in Chicago stated emphatically that Dr. Zaren mentored him at MD Anderson and was a provider of the highest integrity. He also stated that Dr. Zaren is one of the finest breast cancer surgeons in the United States. Since, 2010, Dr. Zaren has managed my post-breast cancer status (surgery and radiation therapy) medically. Additionally, he monitors all features of post-operative medical management, including regular appointments for follow-up breast cancer exams, x-rays, bone density, oral chemotherapy, etc. I could not be more supportive of his work. Any woman who has dealt with this diagnosis will understand when I say that I know I am safe with him.

I was referred to Dr Zaren about a knot in my calf. He insisted on removing the entire Calf muscle even tho 2 biopsy’s had not verified it was cancerous. He said radiation rods would be put in during surgery by specialist to have radiation after surgery. I asked him if he could remove a portion and send to pathology before removing entire muscle but he refused. He was very rude and I ended up getting a 2nd opinion from Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Thank God I did!!! It was only a cyst!! It was removed and pathology confirmed only a cyst!! No cancer. This not listening or non willingness on Dr Zaren part would of changed the rest of my life with walking, running and daily activities in general. PLEASE get a 2nd opinion before having any major surgery such as this!! God Bless! I was referred to Dr Zaren about a knot in my calf.

Am I allowed to say that I love this doctor?? He is perhaps the best gift a patient could ask for when diagnosed with cancer-Other than receiving the news that they are cancer-free. He has made me feel as if I was his top priority, even though I knew he had many others that needed his expertise and care even more than I did. His wit and plain speaking made me approach my diagnosis with confidence and optimism, and I needed his care, his pointed conversation, and his undeniable expertise to focus my efforts and participation in cancer survival. He made the difference in the way I approached things, and I am eternally grateful. He's the real deal, and if you are fortunate enough to be in his care, you can be assured he is the best doctor you can ask for.

I saw Dr.Zaren for a lump in my leg. Biopsies were inconclusive and he insisted on total calf removal with radiation to follow. I asked if he would send to pathology before complete removal of calf and he said NO. He was very rude!! I left and went to Mayo instead and only the lump was removed there and pathology report said it was only a cyst!! Thank you Lord!!! Get a second opinion!!

Dr. Zaren was rude and will not let the patient or the family ask questions without cutting you off. He proclaimed himself an expert and allows his arrogance hinder his ability to effectively treat his patients. If you call ZERO bedside manner or compassion the straightforward or direct approach then he is the guy for the job! Thank goodness for Dr Mark Taylor, and having him handle my family members care now! Dr. Zaren was rude and will not let the patient or the family ask questions without cutting you off.

I am so glad that we found Dr. Zaren. He was highly recommended to us by another patient who'd had a wonderful experience under his care. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, and after several uncomfortable, unpleasant experiences elsewhere, we found Dr. "Z" (as we like to call him). He has a very straightforward, honest approach. His experience in the field is unmatched. He treats each patient as an "individual" and not as a number or a customer. He explains your situation, your diagnosis, prognosis and options very understandably and very patiently. He does not tolerate inefficiency and he surrounds himself with only the best of the best as far as his office assistants, nurses and other physicians with whom he collaborates. Although he has many patients, he will make you feel like you are his "only" patient. I cannot say enough positive things about this Doctor. God gave him a gift and he uses it to his fullest capability. My sister is now cancer-free and I'm not sure that would have been the case had we not been led to Dr. Zaren and to the Lewis Cancer Clinic. I am so glad that we found Dr. Zaren.

My experience with Dr. Zaren has been so much more than expected! Since my plastic surgeon referred me for that first appointment, he has been there for me 110%. He is kind, thorough, and funny (yes, funny!). His staff works harder than any other, as they are frequently having to rearrange his schedule. If you have cancer, you could not be in better hands!!

Excellent doctor. Wonderful staff. From the first consult to today, I knew he would be there for me. Now 3 1/2 years after my surgery, I owe my life to him. I can never repay you for your excellent care. Thank you, Dr Zaren!
