Timothy Zgleszewski, MD

“Being a former patient with a lot of the same complaints as my patients gives me an extra edge and advantage.”

Her interest in medicine began when she was handling claims for an insurance company in connection with losses from Hurricane Andrew. “For me to work competently on the insurance claims at that time, I decided I needed to take a medical terminology course,” she says. From there, her interest compelled her to pursue more education to change careers.
