This is the most discriminatory medical practice I have ever encountered. Dr. Zylman should be fully ashamed of herself, and all of the staff who work here. I am a married woman of 10 years and walked out of this office before my appointment when I was asked to sign "office policies" explaining that the Dr. only prescribes birth control to married women. We must stand up for our powerful and independent sisters in this world who choose not to marry, and their right for equal access to healthcare. If Dr. Zylman is doing nothing but spreading negativity, hate, and fear.

Terrible doctor. Working on getting her license revoked. This needs to be stopped. I am a Christian women but this is just too much. I’m so upset at how you made these women feel. Especially being a women and a gyno yourself. Odd. Sorry you are so unhappy

The absolute worst experience of my life. I read the reviews on here and I shouldn’t of gone but I did anyway. I have been dealing with PPD and anxiety since my daughter was born 9 month ago and I’ve finally gotten enough courage to go see a doctor and I’m new in town so I didn’t have an obgyn. Cried and explained to this woman what I’ve been suffering through and she flat out said I wouldn’t have anxiety if I was closer to God. That my irrational fears are from Satan and I need to go to church more and pray. Told me I couldn’t possibly have post partum depression because my daughter is too old. She belittled my marriage and told me I’d end up divorced because my husband stays home with our baby for now. That men and women were not created equal and my marriage is backwards and would not survive. When I finally politely said I was here for medical advice not spiritual advice she snapped and asked if I was only visiting her to get on pills?! She was absolutely awful and I cried the whole ride home. As a Christian myself I am embarrassed for her and absolutely traumatized from the things she said to me. Save yourself the heartache and judgment and DO NOT VISIT HER FOR ANY REASON.

Lots of encouragement to make healthy choices! Emphasizes preventative measures but fixes what needs to be fixed.

ZERO. She went into a religious rant and blamed all of my medical issues on a "spirit of fear". I felt profiled by her because I do not subscribe to her religious beliefs. I tried to be respectful, but ultimately I felt disrespected. I received no helpful medical advice from her. I was curious if she wanted to follow up with me, but she did not. Her staff member said to return if necessary. I don"t know what that means. Did she not care if I would be alright? I will not return there.

I am so glad to see I'm not the only one who was religiously judged by Dr. Zylman. She was COMPLETELY inappropriate and said my depression and PMS (which I have struggled with for more than 20 years) would be relieved if I got on my knees and prayed more. I am a published author and she told me the type of books I write (inspirational romance) are "lustful" and probably add to the cause of my medical problems. Thank goodness I'm mentally stable, because Dr. Zylman could push a person over the edge with her judgement. So sad that she's in that position...

I liked her honesty and she gave me useful information regarding nutrition. Her bedside manner is quirky, but she is brilliant. I liked her so much, I recommended her to my daughter.

I had a great experience with her maybe she's a new Christian and just wants to save everyone but I do believe in her nutrition and I commend her on that if people would listen to her advice on health and nutrition they probably would be on way less medication and I think she knows what she's talking about when it comes to nutrition and healing your body she's not a pill Pusher or a surgery fanatic like the doctor that I just left his office.

I was a patient of Dr. Zylman's 8 years ago. She was my OBGYN for around 3 years. When my husband and I decided we would like to have children I expressed my worries to Dr. Zylman about my ability to conceive. She assured me I would have no problems and she brushed off my concerns. I had shared several times with her that intercourse was painful for me. She ran tests and eventually ignored my complaints. She went so far as to tell me I had a redundant v*g*n*. (I realized after that she was more than likely calling me this as opposed to giving me a term I could research. It is actually a condition but if I researched correctly 8 years ago it often happens after a woman gives birth.) I floundered between OB docs after she told me this, I can take a hint.
I finally found a Dr. that would take my complaints seriously two years ago. He found that my uterus was attached to my abdominal wall by endometriosis, something that in hindsight had been that way for many years. I know it was because the massive amount of pain I felt when I sneezed was relieved by detaching the organ from my abdominal wall. It also made a big difference in the pain I felt during intercourse. I just underwent my second surgery this time a large amount of tissue was removed from the inside of my uterus. I don't know how long that tissue was there, the first surgery focused on the endometriosis and when we were still not conceiving we started investigating further.
I am 41, Dr. Zylman stole from me through neglect. She stole my faith in medicine, I truly thought it was me or in my head. She stole my possibility to conceive while I was young enough not to be considered a geriatric pregnancy. I would not recommend her. She neglected me and I hope reading this will help some other person find another Dr. that will be responsive and helpful, things she absolutely failed me as a physician with.

When she walked in, I noticed that she had “Judgement is Coming” embroidered on her lab coat. I did not notice this during my annual appointment last year. She asked me some questions about my medical history and acted skeptical about my answers. When her assistant came in and she conducted my exam. When her assistant left, I remained on the table with just the paper sheets. She looked the medical questionnaire given to me by the office staff when I entered and noticed that I had marked “low $e* drive”. I am the mother of two small children and I have a doctorate in biochemistry. I manage a contract that oversees research in the Middle East for the United States Agency for International Development. I am extremely busy and tired most of the time, and this may explain my answer to this question. I was not going to discuss this issue, but since it was on her medical questionnaire, I answered it. She addressed this issue and then asked me about my religious views since I had marked ‘other’ on her questionnaire. I briefly stated them, although I thought this was quite personal. She told me she was Christian then accused me of thinking that I was “God”. I stated that this was not the case. She then started to discuss the big bang theory and then drifted into how men have high blood pressure if they don’t have $e*. She continued by asking me about my motivations for having $e*. She answered her own question and said that if I have the world view she supposes I do, then my motivations are ultimately selfish. I asked her if she was calling me selfish and she did not directly answer my question. She continued by questioning the nature of the relationship between my husband and me. I told her that in no way can she ascertain the nature of my relationship with my husband, the father of my children, in half an hour. I told her I did not agree with anything she was saying. She then asked me why I answered the $e* drive question on the questionnaire. I said, “Because it is there.” She then she was sorry if I we entered into a conversation that I didn’t want to have and left the room.
As I left, I felt judged because my beliefs differed from hers and that she did not offer medical advice directly related to the questionnaire she administers and then discusses in appointments. She did not administer ethical medical care due to her religious beliefs, and demeaned her patient in the process.
