Dr. Steven Christophe Zielinski, MD

He really did right by me.

Should not even get a star....Horrible nurse and front office Argue with you and its there way or no way. Getting in is horrible. He goes to some many locations and a once a month visit is what u get if that. Requested medical records by phone no they said to request by mail, I did and now 3 months later now records, He rushes you in and believe me I have been too a lot of doctors in my time and he is not good and the staff also.

The office staff is great. The doctor went over everything and made sure my questions were answered. The technology he uses is fantastic. I could not ask for more.

Dr. Z really took his time and showed me my films. I did not understand but he explained it. He is great!

He has some new surgery stuff that Noone else has. Amazing!

Dr Z is very professional and takes time to really explain things.

I am in no pain. What more do I need to say!

Dr. Z really helped me. He deserves 10 stars!

I cannot thank this man enough. He really made a difference for me and got me back to living my life. I was in a lot of pain and his surgery really helped me. Even after I was feeling great he followed me in his office and did x-rays to make sure things were ok. The attention to detail is fantastic. Thank you Dr. Z!

Glad to see there is a good back doctor who comes to town.

Dr. Z really knows his stuff. I got to see all my films on a large tv and he explained everything. You can really tell from talking to the other people in the waiting room that he really cares about his patients.

Wish they could all help like this

My grandmother had a spinal fusion performed by Dr. Zielinski. I felt she was taken advantage of especially because second opinions after the fact stated a spinal fusion was not needed. She was also made to believe a small country hospital an hour away gave superior care and was the reason he performed surgeries there. Come to find out his privileges were taken away at our local more advanced hospitals. Immediately after surgery my grandmother’s blood pressure and pulse became unstable. At the time they were trying to stabilize her, he came into the waiting room and told us the surgery was successful and she would be in her room in 45 mins. She finally arrived to her room 3 hours later where we found out she was having significant cardiac issues immediately post op. When we confronted Dr. Zielinski about him saying everything was good he stated “oh that’s a cardiac issue if I don’t put a screw in it, I don’t mess with it”. She was discharged to home after two nights in the hospital. Over a period of 3 weeks her pain and weakness to her legs became progressively worse. Her home health nursed called almost daily with concerns regarding the incision and surrounding area. Somedays she couldn’t even get anyone to answer the phone or the lines were down. We were told just to wait until the follow up appt and he would assess then. He seen her and we were brushed it off as if it was normal. She was readmitted to a different hospital through the ER. A seroma was found under the incision caused by a cerebral spinal fluid leak. Save yourself the trouble and don’t use Dr. Zielinski. He doesn’t deserve to be practicing.

He is wonderful! I just love how helpful and happy he is.

He reminds me of what doctors used to be like. He treats you like a person and not a number. I actually had a conversation with him. He didnt rush at all. He fixed me up and I was back to my cattle. Great!!

The office staff and very kind and helpful and the doctor is really friendly and explains everything very well.

Dr. Z really talked to me and takes time to explain stuff. I feel real good at the end.

We went to his office 3 months ago for the first time and he told us exactly what was wrong. I've had surgery and I am already back at work.

Dr. Z is as good as they come. I am back at work and have no issues. I looked him up online and he treats people all over the state. I was out of pain the next day,

He performed a major malpractice on my lower back by fusing the last 4 vertebrae straight like a broomstick. When I stand, that causes my upper body to pitch forward, causing me to have to use a walker. I had only a limp before he did his dirty deed. Doctors in TX know they cannot be sued because law firms will not work for the $250,000 ceiling. He has been kicked out of the 2 Waco Hospitals because he did so much damage to patients. He should have his license to practice revoked. I warn everyone I can to run away from Dr. Stephen Zielinski as fast as they can! A trained surgeon knows that no part of our spine should be fused in a straight line. Two spine surgeons in Ft. Worth said he put in so much junk that there would not be enough bone left for them to fix it. He never even saw me for a follow-up visit. He doesn't care.
