08/20/2024

I would come back anytime to see him.

I got in on time and at was nice

06/29/2023

My appointment was mishandled from the time I checked in to when I left. I was treated as a "New" patient although I have had the same procedure in the recent past. The PA could not or didn't know how to access my medical records. He told me he had no way of accessing my past history beyond 2022, in 2021 I had an [procedure], this is why I visited the pain clinic, had he known the proper way to acces my history he could have saved me another visit 40 miles away to my primary care Dr. The staff at my Dr's office said all he would have had to do was have me sign a release form while I was there, he should know this and its unacceptable that I have to gather my patient history PRIOR to my appointment and If I have to, I should have been informed about that.

06/07/2023

Helps a lot and give good advice.

06/06/2023

Really liked the staff and the dr.

06/02/2023

Thank you Zach for caring for your patients

05/06/2023

I get great care here and I know my medical needs will be taken care of.

05/04/2023

Dr. Zach is professional and personal, talking and explaining how different things affect the body, from diet, exercise, emotional stress and spiritually. I am very blessed to have been working with him.

04/16/2023

Made me feel at ease

03/17/2023

Nothing more to say.

03/12/2023

Thank you for hiring such caring and intelligent individuals

02/14/2023

All the people there are great. Only issue I have is lab work is referred to a NON network lab. Why would an in network provider send lab work out to a NON network lab? I have CIGNA and st Al's take this but they said the contract for lab work doesn't have Cigna

02/04/2023

Some times I don't understand what he has just said. If I ask hell repeat.I

01/22/2023

Honest and reliable.

01/20/2023

Very good

01/16/2023

Easy going, takes time

01/13/2023

He didn't listen to my concerns or questions. He cut me off, said I have other patients and left.

12/26/2022

Popped our bubble of Hope. Like starting over

12/23/2022

Provider is courteous and gives good advice.

12/22/2022

Very professional

12/20/2022

not at this time

12/17/2022

I always love seeing Zach during my visits. He listens to me and gives me great advice.

12/11/2022

Zaks a know nonsense type of guy but at the same time making me feel at ease. Im working myself off of the meds but at the same time dealing with severe pain. Its a balance between the need for relief and my desire to get off of pain meds asap

12/11/2022

This provider was very interested in my problems and is trying his best to help me

12/10/2022

he explained my condition and treatment options thoroughly and respected my interest in understanding the details of what I was experiencing and why.

10/26/2022

09/27/2022

Provider very helpful and knowledgeable

09/22/2022

Good recommendations

08/20/2022

Took pain medicine completely away from me a 74 year old woman with severe arthritis and several chronic pain issues dictated by pharmacy board not with my pain level

08/16/2022

He seemed to be good at listening to me.

08/14/2022

They do not look out for the patients best needs

08/08/2022

I've been a patient with the St. Alphonsis hospital for 10 years and being fortunate enough to be a patient of Dr. Victoria Wilding. She took the time to study my medical records and knew what past treatments I've had since I was in an accident back in [date]. PA Zack had no clue or even asked how I was injured or diagnosis of the many MD's I've visited since [date]. He is the worst provider I've ever had in all of these years and a different provider outside your system has been scheduled. I really don't expect a true investigation of the circumstances of my complaint and will just be passed to the office manager that will basically ignore the complaint especially since I've been referred to a different provider.

08/04/2022

I feel these visits will enable me to live pain free in my right knee.

07/22/2022

Great PA.

07/22/2022

*Zach was honest, forthright and genuinely concerned with my back problem. I would recommend him!

07/01/2022

Zach really care about my well-being

06/22/2022

*Zach is always on time. He listens intently to me and I never feel rushed. I feel I get info explained well to me. He is very compassionate and I don't feel bad about having to take pain meds for my back.

06/21/2022

I appreciate the time - never felt rushed & was able to ask questions & address concerns.

06/01/2022

PA Zack is condescending and more concerned about controlling the conversation than listening to me. When I have a different thought or opinion, he gets up and walks out the door. Visit over. He's done this several times. He is very rude.

05/14/2022

Very polite and knowledgeable.

04/19/2022

The provider that took care of me for years is no longer here. *Zach has stepped in very nicely and I feel he really cares about me and my wellbeing. I am very comfortable with him and I did not expect to be.

04/11/2022

Zack was professional to a fault. I never felt like he listened to me or cared about me as a patient I felt like he was just going through the motions.

04/08/2022

He seems to talk down to me because I need pain meds. Makes me feel that he doesn't think I should take them. Accused me of taking something that I DID NOT take, and admonished me very rudely. I am changing providers.

04/03/2022

He wasn't listening to the pain that I was experiencing.

04/02/2022

The PA was not listening to me. Refused to refer me to to. Surgeon and refused to offer and remedy for my chronic pain. He was rather snappy and rude to me.! Never will see him again.

03/30/2022

Was a good visit

03/29/2022

Excellent care and service.

03/26/2022

I am very pleased with my provider and his staff

03/26/2022

Very good

03/22/2022

I am waiting for a good heart doctor will be there on my next appointment thank you

03/22/2022

Not happy at all. Would prefer Dr Harris.

03/22/2022

I love my PA. Love his demeanor and his attention.

03/22/2022

This provider is very knowledgeable and caring

03/21/2022

Fine

02/16/2022

My son had died recently and Dr Zach showed great compassion

02/15/2022

Extremely pleased *Mr. Njoroge is a very thorough and pleasant medical provider - a credit to your organization.

02/01/2022

After the first visit I was upset that I could no longer see my original doctor & I didn't care for this provider but after the next few visits, I got along with him much better & realize Dr. H_____ is very busy & my visits were just Rx visits.

01/25/2022

This is only the 2nd time I have seen *Zack. I was impressed with how he remembered my first visit. Sometimes the adjustment from seeing the doctor you've seen for years to a new person can be difficult. Not so in this case.

01/25/2022

Love my physician

01/05/2022

I have seen him 4-5 times, including when he was in Meridian. He does not recognize me and denies he has ever seen me. I miss *Dr. Wilding.

12/28/2021

It was just a follow up for an injection in my back

12/25/2021

Fine.

12/05/2021

I really like Zak. We have a good rapport with each other

11/29/2021

During this short first visit, Zach spent most of the time looking at my records which he seemed unfamiliar with. He is extending my time between patch changes from 48 to 72 hours (after nearly 12 years and five providers at this practice) but gave me no plan or ideas how to do that. He was not interested in my current health challenges or anything other than this increase. I had to rely on my GP to provide me with a plan to accomplish this change in three months.Zach said I could look for another pain clinic if I didn't agree to this change. St. Al's has been my pain provider for over 10 years. I don't want to change. I want competent, compassionate care for chronic pain.

11/26/2021

Zero empathy and cares less about severe chronic pain. His attitude is tough luck go to the ER if you don't like my pain control procedures.

11/23/2021

I feel very fortunate to be a patient in this clinic. We discussed the possibility of me staying several months in a different part of the State with family. Hopefully I can continue with this clinic as I'm sure I'll be back in Nampa.

11/09/2021

This was a new doctor, very nice & listened.

10/29/2021

After our usual discussion about my overall well being I asked the provider to give me a prescription for constipation due to the morphine tablets he had been prescribing for me for some time. I had been purchasing an over the counter product for quite some time and had recently been qualified for another means of service that I Believed would furnish me with a suitable product for relief of my Opioid based constipation at no charge to me. I was pleased with this possibility and took the measure of placing a phone call to my providers pharmacy to see what products they would recommend and also would be covered by my insurance. I was given the names of two products that would provide relief and also be covered by them. This was good news as the over the counter product I had been using is quite a monthly expense to me. On my upcoming visit to Mr. Njoroge I shared with him my research and asked him to give me a prescription for the suggested medication. He said he didn't do that and forcefully refused to give me a prescription. I questioned his refusal to which he continued to tell me he didn't and wouldn't give me the prescription I sought. I left his office frustrated and perturbed after telling him I intended to follow up with my request. I then shared the Information with my Doctor and he then placed a prescription for me. I am using that prescription now and It is working well, and at no expense to me. I have not had a congenial relationship with staff but I wish to place no blame as I am sure I have played a part in that. I just choose to write it off to the nature of the services they perform. To that end I would also like to add that my relationship with the rest of the Saint Alphonsus medical organization has been nothing short of exemplary as the support and care has been a bright spot in my aging times. Regards, [name]

10/22/2021

Appreciated Zach's care and concern.

10/15/2021

09/23/2021

*Zach is very helpful -

09/22/2021

09/15/2021

It was fine.

08/28/2021

No help.
