I have many Emory Doctors, and Dr. Zarrabi ranks at the top for me (tied with Dr. Blalock-Derm). He listens, cares and has even called to check on me. He responds quickly to portal messages and calls. I couldn't ask for Moore from a medical provider.

Dr. Zarrabi was EXCELLENT, he listened with empathy, professional, kind and efficient with solutions that were needed. We left feeling like we had a plan for healing, comfort and success. As the caregiver, I am grateful that he uses MyChart so efficiently and communicates with speed. What a treasure we have in him and asset he is to Emory.

Dr. Z's compassion for his patients is felt from the moment he walks into the exam room. I trust him completely with my palliative care needs. His recommendations never fail. He is one of the few doctors that I am happy to see. His medical assistants are also friendly and supportive.
