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.

A life savior
An amazing doctor! My intestines were failing me during the immunotherapy. I was suffering from non stop vomiting and diarrhea. He was the only one who found the right medicine that made it stop, and in a few days I was alive and well again! It's been years since then but my gratitude never faded. God bless you, Dr. Zuerker!

Dr. Unavailable!! Office staff was unhelpful. Be advised that if you have question about your recovery, after a procedure, 4:40pm on a Friday afternoon, you might as well skip phone calls to them and return to the hospital ER. Their practice was unavailable for my loved one. Fortunately, the hospital staff guided us by phone that we needed to get help medical help immediately. You can do better!

10 years ago, My daughter was suffering with stomach pain and nausea and losing weight. Without even examining her, He said my daughter must be bulimic because she was a dancer and losing weight. Did a scoping procedure on her and found white growths in her esophagus. Said probiotics were quack medicine. I took her to another doc that diagnosed her with an over production of yeast (candida)& cured her. gained 10lbs and healthy. 10 yrs later she's thriving and a 2nd year dental student

Had my first colonoscopy with a lot of trepidation. After the procedure, dr. Zuerker explained the results and the next steps I needed to take. He was great.
