Dr. Zuckerman did an excellent job with my surgery. My back is healing well. I have developed a heart issue, and he even followed up with my cardiologist. Dr. Zuckerman is the most caring health care provider that I have EVER encountered. He is the whole package. He is an extraordinary surgeon and a loving and caring person. No words can describe my gratitude and appreciation for the positive impact he has had on my life!!!

Dr. Zuckerman and his staff have provided excellent care for my cervical spine issues! I've never felt rushed by any of the staff, Dr. Zuckerman has always given thorough examinations, takes the time to explain options & details related to my condition. I've dealt with chronic neck pain for close to a decade and he has been the first surgeon willing to address my complex spinal issues.I highly recommend him to anyone who asks about needing neurosurgical treatment!
