Hany K Zaki, MD

Overall a great doctor. Listens and asks a lot of questions. Definitely does not feel rushed when I’m getting checked on, and the staff is VERY very friendly.

The staff here is very nice and helpful. Needed to make an appointment asap, and they were in communication with me a number of times to coordinate with my schedule.
Dr. Zaki was engaged and through with his examination. He was also concerned with explaining some preventive maintenance that would be to my benefit.
My waiting time in the comfortable lounge area was minimal.
All in all, going to see the Dr. was peaceful and productive.

He was awsome i went in for fillers and botox. Everyone was super helpful and understanding of what i wanted he knew where to put the fillers and how to put them i had been to dr lakshman and a woman doctor in pasadena for fillers and botox and they left me bumpy and lumpy afterwards i will not be going anywhere else i found the one

Great doctor! Very calming demeanor and does a great job explaining things /​connecting with patient. Great staff as well!
Highly recommend!

Dr. Zaki is a true gem. He knows you by name, treats you not as a patient but as a friend, and always explains what he thinks best course of action is. He’s very calm and very smart and has amazing bedside manner.
Whenever I’ve had an emergency, the front desk is so kind and helpful and always schedules me in right away which was never something my old doctor could do so id end up at urgent care.
The office is clean and the girls at the desk are so sweet.
Hada is the best for skincare too! I had an awful, random breakout and the doctor and her performed wonders on my skin! I came in stressed and hiding my face and left happy and feeling radiant!
Truly a great doctor and office!

I visited Dr. Zaki for the first time after an emergency room visit up in Seattle. Upon my return I needed a PCP immediately to admit me to an obgyn. I had been diagnosed with dermoid tumors. The ER doctor had told me I needed to schedule surgery. The ultrasound wasn’t ready for Dr. Zaki to see yet. He immediately acted as though I wasn’t correct. He was condescending and asked me if I had eaten anything to cause the intense pain that had sent me to the ER. He told me it would probably go away. He was disrespectful and downright wrong. A week later, I had scheduled surgery (thank goodness) with an obgyn, but another pain episode sent me to the ER again. My right ovary had suffered torsion, I had a dead organ in my system, and I was septic. I was taken care of at Huntington Hospital. They saved my life and gave me emergency surgery. Dr. Zaki was of no help. If he would have acted sooner, I might still have my right ovary. I will never be visiting Dr. Zaki again.

I’ve been his patient for 4 years. I highly recommend his office. It’s a well run practice and I implicitly trust him. Great place. His schedulers and nurses are pleasant folks. They care about the patients and I would continue to see him if I lived in the area. Dr. Zaki is terrific.

I needed a medical exam for immigration, and Dr. Zaki has BY FAR the most polite and helpful front desk staff out of all I contacted. I called a couple other doctors prior to making an appointment here but some of them sounded so rude — they have that attitude that says «well you need me, so I can treat you however I want.» When I called this doctor, his staff thoroughly and patiently answered all my questions.
If you’re also looking for a doctor for your medical report, do be aware that he’s not the cheapest BUT I would much, much rather pay a little bit extra and deal with pleasant people.

Dr. Zaki has been my primary doctor for over 5 years now. He is simply outstanding! From the moment you sign it, his staff is friendly and knowledgeable. He provides remarkable service as his medical knowledge is amazing.
Best of the best.

Dr. Hany Zaki is a great Doctor and a pleasant individual. He’s professional and friendly.

i like to label him as Cutting Edge DR. with all his up to date gadgets and machines this guy is GYRO he has a very appealing charisma and explains everything in a very define and subtle way that makes you feel like your a DR lol. very honest very fair and not over priced and i really enjoy coming to his office to meet his hand picked staff and enjoy a productive and knowledgeable day at my doctors GOD BLESS YOU DOCTOR ZAKI

I’ve been seeing Dr. Z for over a year now and I haven’t had any issues with requesting any examinations or medications. He’s a super friendly and funny guy. The staff is friendly as well. The parking kinda sucks, but the overall practice is good.

This was my first time at this office. I went in for laser treatment. The staff is professional and friendly. They explained the process thoroughly, went through my options and gave me the holiday pricing. You can’t beat it.
The doctor did the treatment. He was so nice. He made sure I was comfortable and consistently checking on me throughout the process.
I highly recommend this Medical Spa.

DR. Hany Zaki has been my Primary doctor for five years. He is my favorite doctor in the world.
I am a post-​traumatic neurosurgery patient with multiple aneurisms and a stunning array of health deficits that a 99-​year-​old shouldn’t have. In my thirties now, I am fighting for my life.
From tummy aches and sore throats to pre-​surgery clearance and post-​hospital check-​ups, Dr. Zacky, and his outstanding office staff are always on time, pleasant and accurate. *See the awards on his walls.
I read a few reviews that found him to be condescending? Anything is possible?
I recently discovered an 18 mm aneurism in my internal carotid artery and another one in my brain. (surgery at UCLA soon) Dr. Zaki has tolerated a LOT for being my doctor over the years.
With all of the empathy that a Doctor could possible own, he smiled at me, never rushed me out of his office, and listened to me complain and try to self-​diagnose ad nauseam (doctors hate this!) as he held back any well-​deserved judgment or criticism.
If like me, you are in-​and-​out of intensive care units, with problems that cause doctors to refer to medical text to understand them, whose origins only exist in recently-​published neuroscience articles, turn on Hill Street in Pasadena across from Starbucks and get well soon.
When the neuro-​ophthalmologist, neurosurgeons, vascular surgeons, the rheumatologists, the hematologists and the other baker’s dozen of highly-​sought-​after specialists fail, end up here.
Here, where I will choose to end this review in favor of a florist. Upon writing this review, I realize that I haven’t stopped to say thank you with flowers in the five years that his staff spent vigilantly pleading my case to my insurance providers for hours, days, weeks and months of unpaid time.
When all of my illegible blood work orders came from separate specialists, who sorted them all out one by one to be sure that I hadn’t repeated one? And then re-​wrote one prescription and called the laboratory to make sure that they were in-​network? Graciously, patiently, beyond the call of duty. Five stars.
Take it from a girl who has to see TOO many doctors, this one, is a GREAT one. The one I’d send a beloved family member to. Even you.:-)
And YOU, whatever you have to mend, heal or make better, best wishes, kind regards.
Thank you DR. Zaki!:-)

You need to try it so you can tell the difference.
Dr. D.

Best MD ever!

I also found the giant, lumbering Doctor Zaki to be condescending and rude. I went in for an immigration medical as me and my American wife moved from London after 4 years in the UK. He spoke to me as if I was some sort of barely literate asylum seeker who just arrived from the Himalayas, which led to him speaking to me in pigeon English, despite the fact it is my native language. Either that he doesn’t even speak English particularly well himself.
When I told him I didn’t think I needed a TB test because I had been immunized and they said I didn’t need a skin-​test in London, he said «Impossible! No such thing!» even though the majority of Europe immunizes people against tuberculosis, which not only makes me think he has the social skills of a football hooligan, but also has no knowledge of some of the most common medical procedures in the developed world.
The only good thing was the girl on the front desk was really nice and the other staff were friendly. Oh, and Mr Zaki looks a bit like Robert from «Everybody Loves Raymond», and I always found that guy to be pretty funny.
My wife had an appendicitis once. personally I am of the opinion that If it was a choice between having her treated by Dr Zaki, or dusting the cake crumbs off our kitchen table and letting a blindfolded lumberjack goad her organs with a pitchfork, I would pick the latter.
If you are a recent immigrant to Pasadena, I recommend any of the other three government approved medical practitioners in the nearby. He may be more pleasant to Americans, but he made me feel about as welcome as a bastard at a family reunion.

I have been a patient since 2005 and I love this office. Everyone is friendly and professional

My husband just got out of his first meeting with Dr. Zaki and really liked him (phew! He hasn’t liked a few others so much…)
The office is clean, well organized and the staff are polite and efficient. There are a few ads in the waiting room for cosmetic stuff, which would have been a red flag for me had I not been warned by other Unilocalers. I guess we all have to make money somehow, and the potential clients are plentiful in Pasadena.
My husband said Dr. Zaki is very personable and really listened to his concerns. We got some great advice for an issue that we never would have figured out on our own. I know my husband appreciates a no-​BS, unpretentious and pragmatic kind of physician. He must have really liked Zaki because he booked a follow-​up in 2 weeks AND asked him for a referral dermatologist for skin cancer screenings (Dr. Marion Quinn, btw).
Great first experience, hopefully will be a great Dr for us for years to come. Thanks Dr. Zaki!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Zaki’s for almost a year and I’m quite satisfied with him being my primary care physician. His office has a very mellow feel to it, his staff is friendly and helpful. I found Dr. Zaki to be very caring and thorough as he is a firm believer in holistic medicine and he truly cares about the well being of his patients. On many occasions I have called the office after hours when I’m not feeling well and his answering service is quick as the response time is usually 5 – 10 minutes.
The wait time in the office is usually 5 – 10 minutes with an appointment, occasionally the wait may be longer depending on the weather and how many other [sick] people are ahead of you.
Dr. Zaki is very personable — he along with his staff can remember names quite well; they do not need to look at your chart to know who you are. They also try to talk to you to figure out where you are in life and attempt to figure you out in a way; sometimes it actually makes sense.
As a general practitioner who practices internal medicine he really makes the effort and I find that admirable as most other doctors I’ve had in the past could neither remember my name even with my chart in front of their face or prescribe me something other than antibiotics or figure out why it is I am in their exam room when I have stated my chief complaint.
