Dr. Zukerman was very professional and friendly and I felt he listened well to all of my concerns. He also took time to go over my past records from my previous cardiologist and explained how I was doing through those notes and tests. He answered all of my questions and refilled my medication. He also advised I get a CT Cardiac Calcium Score as soon as possible to check for any plaque that my be present. He also advised that I set up a follow-up appointment with his Nurse Practitioner within 3 to 4 months and to get blood work done before my visit. I am very pleased with his care and concern.

He took the time, and care, to discuss my past and present problems. He put detailed notes in the system for follow-up with my regular oncologist and didn't mind that I might go with whatever my "regular" doctor recommends. He had a very nice "bedside" manner and out me at ease.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
