I had some unforeseen complications ( no fault by the physician) just one of those things. My care team was so concerned. Dr Zuckerman went the extra mile gathering all the information he could regarding my issue. I was so very impressed with his concern and treatment.

Dr Zuckerman goes above and beyond to take time with us. Shows great concern for me and allows me to make decisions in about my care. He even gave us his personal number in case we ever need and he communicated regularly with us after we got home from the hospital. We are so thankful for his care.

I have told a couple other local Veterans to inform the VA about referring them to Vanderbilt. The long drive is worth the quality care received, and they AREN'T pill pushers!
