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.

Dr. Zelig was an attentive listener, thorough in his exam, took time to explain what he thought the issue is and to schedule the proper diagnostic exams to rule out anything else. I am very impressed with his bedside manor. It was a great visit.

Dr Zelig immediately put me at ease, let me interrupt him and throughly explained the further testing I needed. He was not only friendly but exhibited a high wealth of knowledge and experience. In addition, he has a great sense of humor which I dearly needed at this stressful time. I highly recommend.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Zelig?
I don't remember ever seeing a doctor that showed as little interest in my complaint as he did. I waited for more than an hour and when he came into the room he barely acknowledged me. Then ask me why I was there. He seemed distracted and referred to his cell phone for several minutes. He did examine me and said he found nothing wrong. He was very abrupt. I will not be seeing him again ever.

Dr. Zelig is incredibly sensitive with my mother, diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. He treats her with dignity and respect while providing excellent, conservative care. He did not rush her into surgery, taking a wait, test watch approach. His conservative call paid off, surgery was not necessary.
I attend medical appointments with my mother from out-of-state. I appreciate that Dr. Zelig's office staff are efficient, timely, and supportive, as well.
