He knew almost nothing about me, what I was even being seen for, walking into the room.

Dr. Zuckerman has an excellent bedside manner in addition to being a talented surgeon. He met my father when I was in the hospital and he asked about him during my follow up visit showing a nice personal touch and seeing me as more than just an injury.

I was seen by an NP. Although she did a very good job of going over my MRI and x-ray and answered my questions, I made the appointment to see Dr. Zuckerman and I never saw him. I realize Dr. Zuckerman is very busy but, had he just stepped in and introduced himself and explained that the NP was going to go over everything with me, and that he would be available to answer any questions after I met with her, I would not have felt as I did at the end of the visit which was he really did not have time for me. At the end of the visit with the NP, she did ask - do you STILL want to see Dr. Zuckerman? I was rather taken aback that he was not going to come in and at least introduce himself so I just said no.
