It time to rate my Doctor! Nuff Repect to this kind and wonderful Oncologist. When I met with Dr. Zelkowitz, I was a train wreck. Totally did not understand what was happening to me. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. His great and caring personality kept me hopeful. He paid attention to my overall health. Was quick to get me the necessary care and aligned the right people for my optimal care. His staff is phenomenal too!!! Going to miss each and every one!

I, like everyone else I know who is a patient of Dr. Z's,love him. He is a knowledgable professional who always listens to my concerns and answers all my questions and is a really wonderful, caring and compassionate person. I don't know how he does it, but he always has a smile and a story to make a very difficult situation (breast cancer) bearable. Giving the patient the absolute best care is his priority - he lives his work.

Dr. Z ..My hero! He cares about his patients from the beginning to the end. He listens, understands and explains everything pertaining to BC. He calls you and is always there for you in any situation. His humor helped me get through a horrible time in my life. I love this man!

Dr. Zelkowitz is absolutely the best! He calls on weekends, evenings, whenever to check in with you and/or give you test results immediately when he receives them. He takes care of his patients physically and emotionally through breast cancer.

Doesn't answer questions, blows off concerns, constantly telling jokes found him offensive.

I would never had made it through my breast cancer experience without Dr Z. He is truly compasionate, uses humor to get you through, but is up to date on all of the new research and treatment options. He is incredibly serious when it comes to the medical side of cancer, yet also understands the emotional needs that come with the disease. He is an angel who literally saved my life.

Dr. Zelkowitz (Dr. Z) is where you want to be when diagnosed with BC. This man is truly lovely... and will keep you sane. He uses his humor to get you through but is incredibly serious when it comes to his patients medical needs.

Never had time to answer questions. Tried to brush off concerns with jokes. Seemed more concerned with getting referrals than with caring about patients. Actually yelled at me when I told him I wanted to change to another oncologist in same practice. Rude, arrogant and insecure at the same time. I never really felt that he was sure that he knew what he was doing even though he became infuriated whenever I had a question.
