Dr. Zale is great. He is knowledgeable and very competent. He is also patient with children. When my husband had an issue with his eye that concerned Dr. Zale, the doctor met him on a Thursday night and early Friday morning(both outside normal office hours) and to make sure everything was alright he sent my husband to a specialist in Chicago who eventually performed surgery. We appreciated his willingness to consult with another doctor. The only negative is the really long wait time but it is worth it.
