Amazing Doctor in Houston

by lila44new at Citysearch

Dr. Zaniewski saved my life. It?s a pretty big statement, but it?s true.

My deteriorating health started nearly 10 years ago and with each year it got worse. I?ve gone to many, many doctors with an array of strange symptoms and none could help me. Nobody could determine what was wrong. Only I could tell that what was happening to me was not normal. My health got so bad I had a hard time functioning from day to day. My limbs felt like led and my heart was pounding non stop day and night. I was having some kind of seizures where my vision would get gray and my legs would feel like rubber. I ended up in the emergency room few times, and after all the tests were done there, the doctor would say ?

?Well, you look good on paper ? we don?t know what?s wrong with you.?

I was really scared. Being in my forties I had a lot of living to do ahead of me.

Year 2007 was especially bad for me. I almost gave up on visiting any more doctors. Then I felt worse than ever, I had to keep searching for somebody to help me. I came across Dr. Zaniewski?s name in my insurance booklet. After first visit with her, she knew exactly was was going on. I have Human Growth Hormone deficiency. After a few tests for that, it reiterated Dr. Z diagnosis. What a relief that was. I am a year into a HGH therapy now and I feel great. I can be a productive person once more.

Dr. Z gave me my life back. She?s very smart, obviously. She?s caring, dedicated to her patients with an excellent bed side manner. She listens and wants to help you, unlike other doctors in Endocrinology that I had visited, who would not even test me for pituitary hormones. It boggles my mind as to why not.

I am recommending this doctor to all of you out there. You would be very pleased with results.

By the way, her office staff is wonderful, friendly and very helpful.

Thank you Dr. Zaniewski for your great work!!

• Pros: Excellent medical care

Not a day spa -- but a good doctor.

I have been seeing Dr Z for almost 2 yrs. She was the 3rd thyroid doctor I sought out because the others thought raising my synthroid level was all that was necessary and I was exhausted, hair-trigger irritated, and at my wits end. I was unhappy with her initially because she insisted on seeing me nearly every month and started lessening my synthroid amounts and adding cytomel. Over the course of a year, with all those appointments, yes, there were some visits when I thought I might not go back. Sometimes I was put-off by the staff and I was impatient for results. I insisted on seeing the Dr each time because I had a number of issues I was concerned about. She sent me to a specialist for other tests so she was definitely listening. Yes, my ultrasounds were performed in-house which I felt saved me an additional trip and visit (and saved me one ppo charge since I was already at the office). I will continue to see her even though I do not feel like I am in a day spa when I am there. Patients have to be proactive in their treatment. They also have to be willing to submit to the tests and put in the effort to facilitate their recovery. As far as I am concerned, I am there to see Dr Z and will continue to use her regardless of the "art" on the walls.

• Pros: in-house tests save me time and money
• Cons: office
