Baltimore Neurosurgery and Spine Center

Sep 2024

I needed an appointment rather quickly due to an injury and I got in within a week. The location was a bit of a drive but directly across from emergency at Sinai hospital. Upon entering the parking lot you have to get a ticket and you have to pay for it before you leave the building-negative stars for charging a patient to park so they can get in to see the physician. The building was clean. The doctor office was large and I checked in quickly and they took me back with a 5 minute wait. The PA came in first and reviewed all of my paperwork and I explained what happened. She was very helpful and pleasant and not rushing me or anything. She finished her exam and then went to talk with the surgeon as he was reviewing my MRI The doctor is very friendly and he explained every detail about my options. Always trying to avoid surgery and I have had a surgery from the doctor and he knows my concerns so he answered all of my questions and I have nothing but great things to say about the doctor, staff etc. if you need a spinal surgeon I highly recommend Dr. Zalatimo. I'm a healthcare professional myself and I can say that he is a great doctor/surgeon. I would never recommend anyone unless I was 100% comfortable with him. Definitely 5/5. I'd give more if I could.

Great care, but I want to call out staffer who went above and beyond as she left for day: Doreen Gainer. She stopped and helped me find my key after I tripped and got banged up. She also took a good 15 minutes trying to help and let an older couple struggling w/ prescription coverage even though she was clear that it was not her area of expertise. Care Bravely Hero! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️employee

Dr. Garonzik is a great doctor and he took excellent care of me. I had developed an infection in my back from a implant that I had put in and he was on point with controlling the infection. He explain in detail this plan of action to control and get rid of my infection which of course includes surgery. After Dr. Garonzik explained everything in detail, I absolutely had no questions. His office is very clean and his office personnel is very nice especially Nicole. She was a sweetheart and so pleasant to talk to. I would definitely refer my family and friends to his practice if they are having any problems with what he specializes in!
