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.

I can’t rave highly enough about this amazing doctor. Dr. Zucker saved my life. Period. Dr. Zucker listens, and he cares. He diagnosed my ulcerative colitis and was with me every step of the way to find the right treatment and bring me back to health. I was at a point where I had lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks, was hospitalized, and very close to death. Dr. Zucker kept in contact with me on a daily basis. He’d call me daily at home to see how I was, and even arranged for me to be able to reach him 24/7. My wife and I have never known a more caring, knowledgeable doctor, and despite having a very thriving group practice with many patients, he always put me first when I needed him. Because of this incredible, kind man and his fantastic staff, I am on the road back to full health and able to live a normal life again. To say I’m grateful to Dr. Zucker is an understatement. He’s become one of the most important people in our lives.

With a family history of colon cancer, I know the importance of "preventive maintenance". Dr. Zucker and his staff have been my trusted allies in this endeavor for a number of years now. I have recommended them to family and friends and would not hesitate to do so in the future.

Completely incompetent. Wants to check my gall bladder... only problem, it was removed 2 years ago- which he's been informed of multiple times. Just wants to keep prescribing medication to mask symptoms without finding out what's causing the problem on the first place. No bedside manner whatsoever.

Dr.Zucker puts on a good front,but only cares about the money he makes,not actually healing you.If you want to truly get healthy do not go to Brookhaven GI(Meat Market)-worst on LongIsland,along with Brookhaven Hospital that they are affiliated with.This site will not allow me to give a 0 rating.

Dr. Zucker us a nice person, he's very professional, and compassionate. He did my upper endoscopy. The procedure was a breeze. I am a RN and I'd recommend him to my own family members and friends. ???????? His staff are friendly, professional, and very helpful.
