Edwin Jacob Zinman

Ed Zinman handled my dental malpractice case. His knowledge is excellent. His legal writing is excellent. He's not one for hand-holding or spending a lot of time comforting a client, but as for expertise and advocacy, I can't complain. Zinman is a dentist and an attorney. He's definitely the go-to...-guy for dental malpractice.

Dr. Zinman saved my life! In May of 2008, I had severe shock-like stabbing pain that radiated up my jaw. I had a root canal, and a retreatment performed on tooth #30 by an endodontist. While on antibiotics, my pain became more tolerable, but as soon as the antibiotics wore off, the pain returned... with more might. I was misdiagnosed as having trigeminal neuralgia by a neurologist, and told that this pain will be with me for life. It was difficult for me to continue the pain meds for it made me extremely nauseated and dizzy. My face started caving in and an MRI/CT scan showed muscle atrophy (isolated mild wasting to the masseter muscle). The electric shock like pain was becoming more unbearable and I had great difficulty at work and with simple daily living skills at home. I did not know how much longer I could take this pain, this meager existence, and my spirit began to fall. I was referred to Dr. Zinman and he helped guide me through this awful maze. I ended up having tooth #30 removed based upon the results of a special 3d Accuitomo x-ray [this is a cone beam x-ray CT done with 20 microsierverts which is 1% of a medical CT, higher resolution than a medical CT and at $251 including the radiologist's report, a great bargain, it is especially designed for the Dento-Maxillo-Facial area]. I had this test taken at The University of the Pacific in San Francisco - 415-929-6500. After the tooth was removed, my pain completely went away. I highly recommend Dr. Edwin Zinman, for he is extremely knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and a wonderful guide.
