    How was your appointment with Dr. Zuniga?

    Mar 28, 2018
    I can not understand the negative reviews. I have been his patient for over a decade due to two failed cervical fusions performed by a surgeon who has lost his medical license. I see him to care/refill an internal pain pump &for flare ups. He has never been anything but attentive and compassionate. Yesterday I called his office because of a cervical flare up (numb arms, tingling fingers). I saw him less than 24 hours later at Pres. This has always been my experience with this caring MD.
