Dr. Christopher Joseph Zub, DO

Very poor communication/listening skills. He is arrogant and condescending.

Rant! I was a new patient at Flagler family medicine as I was referred by another Dr. I have been having serious issues after having covid two years ago. I noticed my eye was bulging bigger than the other so went to an eye specialist who told me to have this new physician do a scan as this looked and tested very abnormal. I went to Flagler family medicine and was appointed to Dr Christopher Zub as my primary physician. I wrote down my concerns so not to forget as my memory has not been very good. He came into the room and from the get go started speaking to me like a child, I'm 57. He wouldn't listen to anything I had to say at all and kept speaking down to me, he pushed the notes away I tried to give him of my ailments and said I don't want to see that in such a demeaning manner, totally narcissistic attitude the entire time in the room with him. I asked for a brain scan as I've had so much pressure in my head as well as what the eye Dr said. His reply to me was: What do you think we just scan your whole body because you ask... I replied, I didn't ask for a whole body scan, only my brain and eye as I was told I should have. He then proceeded to ask me in a rude manner if I even work, I was totally thrown by this. What does that have to do with anything, as I have coverage. So I ended up going to a neurologist who agreed I needed a MRI of brain sinuses and eye. Results came back to show I have water surrounding my brain and need a spinal tap right away. intracranial hypertension/pseudotumor cerebri. I was called by the office manager at Dr Zubs office at Flagler family medicine to ask how my visit there was so I proceeded to tell her how awful and demeaning he was and I'd like my records sent to another Dr in the practice as this is very important right now with all this going on. She called me back today and said Christopher Zub will not release my records to another Dr there and he also put that I'm not allowed to come to that practice any longer, and to pick up my records. Now mind you, I never said anything to this Dr and just took the beating in that exam room because I knew I needed help. I rode home in such anxiety and anger that day it knocked me out for the entire day. Now he knows as he received my nerologist MRI results that I'm in bad condition right now with this fluid around my brain and tells me to go find another Dr because he's part owner of Flagler family medicine and has the right to refuse me to see any Dr there. I'm livid at this point this morning. Dealing with all this and the pounding headaches from the fluid. What kind of caring Dr would do such a thing to a patient in this state? His staff was appalled and embarrassed to have to tell me this, they were wonderful and couldn't apologize enough and even went onto say, they completely get it and we're so sorry he treated me this way but have seen this before with him. I've never in my life heard of such craziness. At a time I should be calm, I'm now scrambling to find a good primary physician as I go for my spinal tap Friday. Any recommendations, suggestions would be so greatly appreciated. My mind is in a fog right now and this is certainly not helping. I suggest not going to this awful awful man. I honestly thought he was on some sort of adrenaline drug, because it was just such a very odd, rude, hyper appt with him.

Folks - this doctor is horrible and just in the business for the money. RUN!

My son's doctor wasn't avaliable but we were able to get an apointment with Dr. Zub. I'm not sure if he was already having a bad day at 7:40am or he doesn't know how to separate his personal life from work, but my son's visit was horribly uncomfortable. Dr. Zub was extremely argumentative, difficult to conversate with, lacked empathy, and came across as judge mental. He was very short, condescending, and had a belittling manner when he spoke. I would not recommend him unless you enjoy being talked down to like you're a complete idiot. Not impressed and feel Flagler Family Medicine should definitely re-evaluate his behaviors to avoid tarnishing their positive reputation, further embarrassment, or a possible lawsuit.

Great doctor

Best experience in a doctors office. I felt very comfortable and as if I was Dr. Zubs top priority.

Dr Zub is excellent. He listened to my concerns and provided a very comprehensive analysis. I like that he puts patient values as a top priority.
