At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website.

Dr. Gonzalez and Karen Zarosky are both excellent. My husband and I had the same hand injury within a short time frame. Dr. Gonzalez saw us at the same time. He performed surgery the same day. He was very accommodating, and made us both very comfortable. He is very competent and efficient. We never had long waits which are difficult for my husband. The staff at both the Penfield office and Marketplace procedure center were all very nice and took great care of us.

The 2 doctors were generally interested and informative. It was a fresh breath compared to other medical practices that get you in and out quickly with a lack of care. Thank you staff for your level of care
