Dr. Zeiger came highly recommended by a doctor at Tisch Hospital, who personally went to him when she required PEP rabies treatment. I have no way at all of personally judging a person's medical talents, so I'm taking the other doctor's personal visit and recommendation as high medical praise. The doctor and his staff are no BS, which I think some yelp reviewers have taken as not caring, though he and his staff were perfectly polite and helpful with my requests and concerns. He begins every appointment with a consultation at a desk and then the treatment is in a different room. This strikes me as a workflow filled with care. I had ample time to ask questions and he answered them honestly. He was happy to use the phrase "I don't know" when he didn't, a phrase which some doctors don't seem to have in their lexicon. His prices are extremely reasonable. He was in network for me, but the potential out of pocket costs are accessible. Tisch Hospital charges $4,000 for a rabies shot out of pocket. He charges $400. It's rare to go to a doctor without any worry of ruinous costs. He and his staff have what I would describe as New York attitudes, by which I mean they are honest, to the point, and don't BS you. If you require an extra calming doctor who will tuck you in to bed and kiss your forehead -- I completely appreciate if you do want that -- this is probably not the doctor for you. If you don't need a forehead kiss but just want cost-conscious, informed treatment, he's your guy. read more

Doctor told me I couldn't have ME/CFS because I was on a SSRI (used to treat either anxiety or depression). A few months later my condition progressed to severe and I am now bedridden and almost completely disabled. This doctor should educate himself on the fact that someone can have anxiety/depression and also have a serious physical illness. read more

VERY AWKWARD DOCTOR! He does not provide much detail or opinion and just wants to administer shots and charge you for them. I asked many questions with a "Well that's your choice..." I was looking for a valued opinion and got none. Poor bedside manner. The manager is also very rude and short with customers. On top of all of that he over-charged and was very difficult to deal with for payment. DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Wow! I picked Dr. Zeiger randomly based on proximity to my office and that he participated in my health insurance. From the time I called in to make my appointment I was impressed. One of the first questions the receptionist asked me was what my e-mail address was. She was e-mailing me the new patient forms to fill out before I even got there... What efficiency!! Getting to the office was a bit confusing to find at first, going downstairs to go back upstairs to the office, but once you got there things were looking good. Quaint little office, nice receptionist, met with the doc in his office to discuss things, different examination room, back to office to discuss more. Now for what really impressed me... He seemed truly in love with his profession talking about articles he has read and new treatments that are on their way. What REALLY impressed me was when he asked what pharmacy I used. I gave him the name and location and before I knew it he had electronically sent my prescription to the pharmacy for me. All I had to was pick them up, truly awesome. ...and here is the kicker. About 3 weeks after I finished the meds he prescribed, without anything on my part, the doc calls me and asks me how I am. A doctor that follows up? Its a miracle! Two thumbs way up! UPDATE: If you are a world traveler and need shots, meds and what-not pre-travel, this is his specialty! read more

This is the worst doctor I have ever dealt with in my life. I am a very low maintenance patient. I'm healthy, I'm young and I trust that doctors have my best interest at heart. This is the first time in my life that I have had a serious health concern. Do not go to this Doctor he does not care about you. He spent all of 10 minutes with me. He did not listen to my symptoms had no interest in my condition and didn't even ask me any questions. When I asked him questions he avoided them. He treated me like I was a hypochondriac. He sent me to get three different tests. He never followed up on the tests. I had to call the lab to ask them if they sent him the results. Then call his receptionist to tell her the results had already been sent to them. She then told me that the lab was lying to me. I had to basically stalk him to get my results which were given to me by his receptionist. He didn't even have the courtesy to call me himself. When I asked if I could come in to see him to discuss the results I was told he would call me later that day and he never did. I called him the following day multiple times. His line is ALWAYS busy and his receptionist puts you on hold forever and forgets about you. He finally answered the phone told me that there was nothing he could do for me and referred me to someone else. I'LL SAY IT AGAIN DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS DOCTOR. He just wants to collect your money. read more

Dr Zeiger is the type of Doctor you dont find everyday. He goes beyond the norm to help when you are in need.. As he done so many times for me thanks Dr. Z read more

I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Zeiger as my primary physician. He is very knowledgeable and patiently listened to my description of symptoms before deciding on the course of treatment. He followed up with genuine care and concern. I did not have to wait long for an appointment and the staff was courteous and professional. His office is also very conveniently located. He effectively treated my condition and I am most grateful to him. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Dr. Zeiger!! read more

I went to see Dr.Zeiger back in April prior to a four month trip through SE Asia. I found him to be very helpful. He explained everything that I needed to know and gave me the information that I needed, including costs, to make my own decision without pushing me one way or the other. He made sure that I understood side effects and risks and was even willing to discuss prescription medications that I might need just in case along the way. He had a firm understanding of the possible health issues that I could face in every country that I had planned. As I met other travelers, it was apparent to me that I was far more informed than most. I was in some pretty remote areas and went swimming wherever I was without any concern. I highly recommend Dr. Zeiger if you are planning a trip to any exotic locations. read more

Both my daughter and I have seen Dr. Zeiger twice for shots prior to visits to West Africa. He is kind and very knowledgable. He went through all the shots I've had and would need for my upcoming trip, even making sure I was up to date on shots such as the flu shot and DPT. After talking with me at length, he prepared the shots in another room and then quickly (and painlessly) administered them. He called in prescriptions for oral medications I would need. I have referred physician colleagues to him also, and they have been very pleased. I highly recommend him and his office. read more

I am a medical provider myself and I can say this doctor is the BIGGEST QUACK EVER. I am traveling to Africa and am aware of what immunizations I need to take but after speaking to a colleague who is a travel medicine NP she urged me to go see a doctor in person to get a thorough consult to best prepare me. When I met with Dr. Zeiger, he simply printed out a sheet of paper of what essentially is a summary of what immunizations you need if you look online yourself as well as a recommendation for bug spray. I could have googled this information myself. He did not examine me nor do labwork to check my Hep A titers when I told him I was unsure if I received it. He did not consult me on how to best prepare for my trip and what kind of additional protection I need or how to prepare for my hike. I later called and asked for a prescription for ambien for the flight and he told me he can't because it interracts with oral contraceptions, which not only absolutely not a thing and any primary care doctor or other travel med doc can confirm, but if that is the case you offer to prescribe it and give counseling on alternative birth control options. This guy makes money off googling travel medicine reccs off CDC. read more

Dr. Zeiger is a wonderful physician. I agree with someone else's review when stating that Dr. Zeiger is not the type of Doctor you find every day. Especially in NYC. He goes far and beyond what other physicians would do to when you are in need. My son became very ill at school and Dr. Zeiger has been treating him. He is very kind. He calls to see how my son is doing, I was able to email him some forms that needed to be faxed to the University and it was taken care of very quickly. His office is immaculately clean. The office manager is really nice. I feel very lucky to have found him. read more

It's been a long difficult journey but Dr. Zeiger was wrong and the evidence was finally found when all of my cats had been scratching, and all were going to the vet, but the evidence was not discovered until the vet pronounced he'd found 2 dead fleas on my 3rd kitty. Now it is kind of obvious now that - the problem which was bothering me - duh my kitties sleep on the bed with me - is the fleas were biting me and laying eggs all over me and the bed. Now the important thing to understand here is how tiny a flea can be, and basically if you are reading a size 10 or 12 font, this . symbol for period and the end of a sentence is how big a flea can be. Imagine this is very hard to see unless you have 20 20 vision and even then is difficult to see. The other important thing to remember is that their eggs are also rediculously small - and sometimes they are easier to see if they stick together. The other thing about fleas is the females lay 50 eggs a day so even though professionals, exterminators or doctors don't or can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. I really feel justified in my upsetness for Dr. Zeiger not understanding what I was speaking about and trying to explain. My skin doctor showed me various flea bites and it seems on each individual is different. On one individual it can look like a rash, on another just like a pimple, while on still another the pimple can be 1/3 the size, on another just like a red dot. You get the idea folks. Sometimes a bug is just a bug and the patient is always delirious or imagining things. - People assume fleas are easy to kill but they have a 21 day cycle difficult to stamp out. I am almost done in my assault on my apartment and my animals have flea collars and are all about to get their 4th bath in that many months. read more

Terrible doctor. I was travelling to SE Asia, and Dr. Zeiger had little to no interest in my safety, as he didn't alert me that Japanese Encenphalitis is a common and deadly disease. HE also gave me the WRONG DOSAGE for malaria without so much as an aplogy. On top of both of these, he didnt give me the oral Typhoid pill, instead one that I later found out needed to be refridgerated even though he knew I would be flying to Asia later that week. Overall, very poor service and concern for the patient, and didnt seem to have any regard for me, as he probably realized I was a one-time patient looking to get travel vaccines. Definitely not recommended. When I asked 'What happens if I forget to take a day of Malaria pills' he just responded 'Dont forget'. These vague responses were all he would give whenever I asked a question. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

This doctor prescribes unnecessary vaccines and medicine. He must need to justify his fees. He is a travel doctor who doesn't travel and his ignorance is dangerous. He pushed Hepetitus A on me saying it only lasts 15 years, but the CDC does not agree. He also pushed anti-malaria medicine even though it was the dry season without mosquitoes. I warned that I am very allergic. I had an allergic reaction than ruined my trip. See this doctor only if you can risk having him make you sick. read more

I know the rating should be based on the Dr, which I would've given a 4, but his staff (Stacie, the general manager) is so unbelievably rude that I can't give it to him. I called to pay my bill and when she put me on hold she accidentally hung up. It happens all the time. So, when I called back, in a nice non accusatory voice I said, "yes you hung up on me" and she got an attitude saying, "no, you hung up on me!" What grade are we in? read more

Dr. Zeiger is great. I originally came to him when my doctor passed away and I was shocked to find out that he was an upgrade from my old physician. He's an honest guy who doesn't sugarcoat stuff. So, if there's bad news you're going to hear it in a forthright manner. Unlike other doctors he's very truthful and direct about the limits of his knowledge. Once he even picked up a book and looked something up while I was in his office. I loved that. As previously mentioned, you can get him on the phone too. I've referred many friends and co-worker to Dr. Zeiger and I haven't heard any complaints. read more

I went to him for a diagnosis. He took blood tests, but didn't listen to my symptoms, suggesting that they were due to depression. Didn't want to treat me and gave me the number of a rheumatologist. Won't be going back to him. read more

The worse doctor I have ever come across in my 40 years of seeing doctors. I am very disappointed he got paid for doing nothing from my insurance company, he spent less than 5 minutes with me. Did not listen to my complaints. He directed me to the examining room, where he poked his hand in my abdomen area for less that 10 seconds. I went to see him two weeks ago still waiting for a call from him to tell me what he thinks is wrong with me. Did not even order any not one test. So sad that some of these doctors like lawyers get away with so much. read more

What a nice and super smart man. I travel alot and consistently find him on top of everything I need to stay healthy in third world countries. read more

I went to see Dr Zeiger with my wife to get shots for a trip to Thailand. The doctor knew everything we needed plus a couple bonus shots. We are actually going in today for a follow up shot. Really nice and the shots didn't hurt at all! Real Pro! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Zeiger by my primary care physician in relation to travel vaccinations. I found Dr. Zeiger to be competent, efficient, and professional. He walked me through the various vaccinations recommended for my travel destination, clearly outlined the costs and possible side effects, and provided printed materials I could reference during my trip. He didn't try to up-sell me on unnecessary vaccinations, which I appreciated. Also, I have never received such a painless series of shots! The man knows what he's doing. All told I was in and out of the office in about a half hour, feeling well-informed and confident about my health during my upcoming travels. read more
