MD
JEFFERSON SURGICAL CLINIC
Nominated for Otolaryngologist by Gloria Davis
" I am a patient of Dr. Gregory Zachmann
at Jefferson Surgical Clinic in Roanoke.
He is my hero because I have chronic
sinusitis where I couldn't breathe from
my nose before they said COVID was
out. I lost my taste and smell. I've had
two surgeries by other doctors and they
couldn't tell me what was wrong. Dr.
Zachmann is an ENT specialist and he
worked with me. He opened me back up
so I can breathe again. I was so miserable
I was giving up [the will] to live. I went
to the funeral home and made arrangements
for myself because I couldn't
go on living like this. I prayed to God to
please help me and he did, he sent me
to this beautiful and wonderful doctor
whom I adore. I would refer anyone to
him because he was God sent me. I can
breathe now even though I still can't
taste or smell. I'm still here. He is my
guardian angel. He needs to be honored
for his work. " I
