What an amazing Doctor! Kind, caring and knowledgeable. He assessed my elderly mom's red and sore toe and was wonderful, not only with his diagnosis but also his patient care. Nanaimo is lucky to have him.

Dr. Z is absolutely amazing. He was so kind, caring, and patient with my daughter who had some major anxiety from previous ER experiences. Very knowledgeable as well. I can't thank him enough.

I wish all doctors lived up to the standard he sets! 10/10 he is the top. Friendly, nice, didn’t rush me, answered all my questions. I felt very well informed and he even explained why I didn’t need to buy new orthotics every two years (as the previous podiatrist had told me I had to do). Walking is my favourite thing, and I feel like I’m in good hands with Dr. Z! Really smart guy with awesome bedside manner. A real gem.

Second time I have had a big toe nail removed. This time was a lot better than the last time I had this procedure done. Recovery has been a lot better than the last time. The jet injector is so much better than a needle to freeze the toe. I would definitely recommend Dr. Zanbilowicz for anyone needing a nail removed.

Dr. Zanbilowicz is a lovely man and a dedicated doctor. I took my daughter to him after 3 GPs (and 2 MRIs) had failed to diagnose her foot injury. He realized quickly that she had a rare Lisfranc injury, consulted with other specialists to confirm his diagnosis, and made an urgent referral to a local surgeon. When that consult didn’t go the way we had hoped, Dr. Zanbilowicz continued to be a strong advocate for my daughter’s care, providing further referrals and paperwork when we needed them. Dr. Zanbilowicz has been a great support as we navigate this complex injury and we couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Went to him twice with long term (3 yrs) very painful foot issue. Two ultrasounds. Was stumped on my issue. Kept changing his mind. Had me go out and buy $230 runners. Said he would confer with other drs and get back to me. Called me 3 weeks later and said he was leaving info for me at the front desk for pickup and to take the shoes back. Too late!! Went and got what he left. Seriously?!?! A photocopy on how to order orthotics in the US. Sad to think he came highly recommended. Very disappointed to say the least

Dr. Adam Zanbilowicz's response
I am so saddened to hear this. I had worked hard to advocate for you with other specialists since I did not feel that your problem came from your foot. Knowing that, and knowing how long waitlists are to get into a rheumatologist, I made personal calls and appeals to see if I could get you in with another specialist locally, however the wait list is months. I am sorry to hear that you felt that I was not helpful - hopefully my strong advocacy will help you see the right specialist. I am sorry that you never reached out to me to clarify. I will remain available to you if you would like to reach out, but sometimes a foot pain is part of a rheumatological or neurological problem and needs a different specialist.
