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 find Dr. Zeiger to be thorough. He listens to you. He explains what his course of therapy is with you.

I have been a patient of Dr Zeiger’s for over ten years. He is very thorough and caring. Very old school, and I like that.

my original doctor retired six years ago and I feel very fortunate to have been able to see Dr. Zeiger. Listens very carefully and most importantly LISTENS to you. He does error on the side of caution which I’m hood with.

Staying on time is more important to him than doing an adequate job. He has made too many careless mistakes.

My long time internist retired and I asked for a recommendation. Dr. Zeiger took the time to review, straighten out and, while doing so, asked me a large number of questions about my health and medications. His exam was thorough and I left the office with some follow up blood work and other tests to confirm his findings. I got a call back from the office two days after the tests were done asking me to set up another appointment for further followup. THIS IS SERVICE!

Refused to give a consultation prior to being hired. insisted on a full physical, Very expensive. Insurance only allows one per year. Stuck with the physical with Zeiger even if he is not hired. It took a week for his staff to respond to an initial request for an appointment.
