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 kind, empathetic doctor who patiently explained and showed me the reasons for my vocal problems. A brilliant, experienced teacher with a sense of humor. I will be sure to consult him if I ever need the services of an anesthesiologist again.

Singing/performing for the majority of my life. both professionally and for the enjoyment of entertaining., in 2013 thought it was time to seek professional care, as I was unable to reach my usual pitches for one. As an impersonator, using my vocals, there was the need for an almost identical voice/pitch for with whom I was imitating. Looking into my insurance plan, I randomly chose Dr. Zeitels. Not knowing of his infamous stature until entering His office!! 100% satisfied ?? Revisit in 2 days!

Dr zeitels is an outstanding surgeon .! He was So down to earth when he discussed the surgery with me. I felt a sense of relief the minute I walked into the office I knew I made the right decision... i am a physician with a practice in NYC . I developed voice complications due to " bad luck " But bad luck turned into good luck ... I got my voice back my life back .., Thank you Dr zeitels Dr Suzanne levine

Dr. Zeitels stuff told me that they going to make an appointment with Dr. Zeitels that he is taking new patients who I really wanted to see based on all reviews he's got ,then days later they called and told me that he refused to take me and he was referring to some other doctors.That makes me think why? Sorry I'am not Julie Andrews..I have a problem with my vocal cord for a while ,coughing when I'am trying to sing or speak loud and was hoping that Dr. Zeitels would help me..Very disappointed
