I had a cancer growth on the side of my nose that was removed. I was sent to Dr Zbar who showed pictures of his work. You won’t see my picture cause the side he did is completely different and ugly. Thanks for the rip off. I told him I wasn’t happy with his work but he didn’t care. He was horrible

Long post but important to read. It has been a year since I had a back lipoma removed by Dr Zbar. I normally never write reviews, but even a year later looking at my scar makes me so angry. I didn’t have a good feeling from Zbar since our first appointment, even though he came as a referral to me. He was condescending and talked down to me, and said he would like my parents to be involved. Excuse me? I was 23, professionally employed and making this decision about my body on my own. The real problem came about 1 month after my surgery. I could tell the scar was not healing correctly and I called Zbar to tell him that it seemed open on one side and small amounts of blood were coming out. He was extremely nasty on the phone and told me that would be “extremely rare”. I had to insist that something was wrong and he passive aggressively agreed to have me in for an appointment. He complained that I was concerned about the scar even though I had not finished the after surgery care.

At the appointment he apologized because my stitches in fact had broken and I needed to go back to the original after surgery care steps. I told him I was disappointed that I could not get proper advice over the phone and that he made me feel like I was overreacting.

I’m sure I would have come in for an appointment earlier had he taken me seriously, and also taken the right steps to care for my scar. Instead he told me to continue the normal treatment and this ultimately further delayed my healing.

Now, my scar is much fatter on one side where the stitches had come out. Extremely disappointing considering I went to a plastic surgeon to get the most minimal scarring.

Zbars ego got in the way of his practice, and I’m sure I won’t be the only one that happens to. He was also rude to my mom right before my surgery. She asked about scar care and he barked that he had already explained that to me. Don’t underestimate the value of good bedside manners. I ignored it considering he was a referral and he had many awards and a good education. Big mistake!

Dr Zbar took care of my skin cancer. He was professional. He explained everything to me in great detail. The scar is practically invisible. I highly recommend him !!

Dr Zbar is very professional and helped me tremendously. My scar is barely visible. He is terrific!
I had a breast cancer. He was recommended by my breast surgeon. He put me at ease. He reviewed all my options for the reconstruction.
The surgery went well and the scars are blending nicely. He used an expander on one side and a reduction on the other. I look great!!

I had a Basil Skin Carcinoma (small) on my nose. I was horrified at the scar Dr Zbar put on my nose. I patiently went thru 10 months of hoping it would look better. He put multiple injection and also 1 sanding but no improvement. He took Cartilage from my ear for my nose which turns out not to have been necessary. I do NOT recommend him for any face surgeries. I have since had another surgery by a different Plastic Surgeon to fix Zbar's errors! No one should have to go through with what I did.

He performs his simple procedures at the near by hospital. I had to pay him and the hospital. He won't tell you that. Even follow ups was done in the same hospital (Totally not necessary), now I am paying him and the hospital. After all that he won't even bother with you very rude.
Next time I will choose doctors who uses their office for treatments not third party hospitals.
