Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude and let's you sit in the examining room over an hour after sitting over an hour in the waiting room. One time I waited 2 hours in the waiting room and then they wanted me to come back another day. He also prescribed a medication I was already taking when he never checked the file. He may be a good doctor but he's not the only one. I like to be treated with a little more respect.

I went in to the ER at Delray Medical Center on January 11 with discomfort in my chest. Lab work exhibited high enzymes. Dr Zelcer and his team installed a stent as quickly as possible. The doctor and his team are extraordinarily competent, caring and fully engaged. My life was saved.

Dr. Zelcer is an excellent cardiologist. His medical knowledge is vast and his experience is second to none. He recently saved my life. His medical judgment is superb. He has treated several members of my family and has saved their lives. The medical community and the community at large is lucky that he practices here.

I am 94 years old and had a severe valve issue. He told me about a new procedure to help me. I was hesitant at first, but he explained everything. After the procedure, I had my life back. I am very grateful. It was a miracle

Dr Zelcer didn't help me at all, he yelled at me and started arguing with me in front of all the other patient that came to see him. When all I did is ask a question about my medication. He miss treats his office staff, not treating them lick human beings. Yelling and speaking to them like peasants.

Great experience. They are completely high tech, and they helped me sign into my web portal. I was shown how to message the doctor directly from the portal, bypassing the staff! Very helpful office!!

He makes time for me, even if he’s busy. Im very happy with the time he gives me, and his questions are detailed. He explains everything, and has even given me literature and web sites to look up. The staff is nice, but are often burdened with difficult people. I saw one patient speak extremely rudely to his receptionist for no reason, and she kept her cool and remained good humored.

TERRIBLE! My grandfather was in the hospital and needed Dr. Zelcer to give him the ok to go home. I was told Dr. Kim was on call and would see him. He never came by and said he can go home without examining him. After finding out Zelcer I managed to get him to see my grandfather. He said that he could not go home. He was EXTREMELY rude and his partner almost let my grandfather go home which could have been very dangerous. We fired him on the spot and got a new doctor. STAY AWAY!!

Doesn't follow through on life-threatening decisions... Left patient in a state where she would have died without treatment that he found unnecessary... Does not spend adequate time with individual patients... Would obviously not recommend
