Baltimore’s own, Dr. Michael Zollicoffer, or best known as Dr. Z., a 66-year-old private family practitioner, isn’t rich in money but wealthy in love that he provides to his patients and the community provides to him.

Zollicoffer tells CBS News.”I just love people.” He adds, “I love to see a rash. If you say you got a rash, I’m going to find you, because I love a bump on your head.” 

Lita Johnson, a patient of Dr.Z’s, shares, “He is unbelievable, because you’ll never meet another person like him ever.”
Zollicoffer doesn’t care if his patients can’t pay, “Forget that dollar bill,” Zollicoffer said. “I’m going to see you no matter what. You walk in that door, you will be seen. You bring your grandma with you, I’ll see her, too.”

After 40 years in the practice, Zollicoffer has never taken time for himself, patient Tiffani Elamenuel added, “He’s always available.”

Being diagnosed with cancer, “I’ve got 2 separate cancers — one renal and one rectal — but I don’t give up,” Zollicoffer said. Uninsured, due to a mishap in paperwork with his Medicare plan, his loving patients created a crowdfunding campaign, raising more than $100,000.

Zollicoffer mentions,” I’m thankful that I got cancer, because I am the happiest man on the planet, no matter what the outcome. What we have shown, and why we’re sitting at this table right now, to show America: this is what you’re about!  We are about giving! I can’t make it without them, nor can they make it without me.”
