ABOUT DR. ZAID

A Walled Lake kid who chose to stay and take care of his community

Dr. Zaid is a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his residency at Genesys Regional Medical Center in Grand Blanc and is board certified in family medicine.

He is trained to care for children, adults, geriatric patients, and sports medicine patients. His clinical interests include childhood asthma, dermatology, diabetes, cholesterol management, osteopathic manipulation, preventive medicine, and helping patients make genuinely informed healthcare decisions.

He grew up in Walled Lake and is proud to care for the community where he was raised. He believes the key to a healthy lifestyle is built on three things: strong physician-patient communication, thoughtful preventive medicine, and honest decision-making — together.

WHY I MOVED TOWARD PERSONALIZED MEDICINE

“Moving away from traditional medicine was not easy and goes against my fabric of taking care of as many people as I can. It was not an easy decision, but one that was made so I could be proud of the product I produce.”

— Dr. Robert Zaid

“Traditional medicine slowly took away the ability for me to give my patients the time they needed. In this new model, I have essentially unlimited time to dive deep into topics that affect body and mind.”

— Dr. Robert Zaid

His patients get his cell phone, a comprehensive wellness visit, and more availability to him. He can see patients in the hospital, same day in the office, and virtually.

THE QUARTERBACK ANALOGY

Your family doctor should be the quarterback of your healthcare team

That means helping you understand your options, coordinating your care, deciding which specialist or treatment actually makes sense, and making sure you are informed every step of the way.

Good decisions can only be made when there is real cooperation between the patient, family, physician, and care team. Dr. Zaid takes that coordination seriously — whether you are managing a chronic condition, navigating a hospital admission, or just trying to understand a confusing specialist report.

UNHURRIED TIME

A major reason he moved toward concierge medicine was time

In traditional medicine, time gets pulled away by insurance requirements, administrative burden, and volume pressure. The result is a 7-minute visit that barely scratches the surface.

In the personalized model, patients have unhurried time to discuss their health, new breakthroughs in medicine, prevention, nutrition, exercise, body, mind, and long-term wellness goals.

“I can see my patients in the hospital, same day in my office and virtually. I am also able to read more on all the newest advances in medicine and to refocus on healthspan vs lifespan.”
