As a teacher, we strive to be credible in the eyes of our students. Credibility is built by not only being competent, but also by being trustworthy, dynamic, and immediate. Zac demonstrated it all.
My father-in-law received outpatient services from Zac at Rush Copley in Aurora, Illinois. It was obvious from the moment he brought my father-in-law back into his room that he was not only an expert in the field, but he provided a bedside manner that was second to none.
Providing health care is foreign to me, but providing others with an education is not. As a teacher, we strive to be credible in the eyes of our students. Credibility is built by not only being competent, but also by being trustworthy, dynamic, and immediate. Zac demonstrated it all.

I absolutely adore my father-in-law, but he is not the easiest patient. The truth is, he lost his beloved wife of over 50 years a couple of years ago, and he has not been the same. Getting him to Rush Copley to have this procedure was a struggle. Zac did not hold back, and he presented information in a way that motivated him to be better.

Zac is beyond credible in the eyes of my family. We thank Zac and are grateful for his tireless efforts.
