Joseph D. Zuckerman, MD

"In 1986 I was a firefighter and I sustained a serious knee infection while fighting a fire on the lower east side of manhattan. A nurse friend suggested Dr Zuckerman and he did knee surgery on my right knee. It was the best medical decision I ever made. I'm now 67, retired and I worked 33 years more in the FDNY. Many others said I might not be able to work as a firefighter again. Thanks Dr Z, if I ever need surgery again you will be the first person I'll call. Retired Battalion Chief John Postel"

"I received a bilateral total knee replacement with Dr. J. Zuckerman in July 2010. I must say that this surgery was a resounding success! I attribute that to Dr. Zuckerman and his team. Over the years I have recommended his services to many friends and family! I was recently made aware by my current Orthopedic surgeon in the Bronx that Dr. Zuckerman is going to retire. I'd like to take this time to , again thank him for his brilliant work! Dr. Z you are the very best at what you do so go now and relax and have lots of fun. With peace and love!!!!! Sincerely, Robin Moss"

"Dr. Zuckerman of NYU is My Hero!! On December 20, 2023 I had a (bilateral) both knee replacements. I cannot stress enough how happy I am with the results so far. Dr. Zuckerman is the best. My quality of active lifestyle was down to nil which caused me much depressed feelings since I was a very active individual and always on the go. I almost became a couch potato because simple things as walking was a chore on my knees. I visited Dr. Zuckerman and he promised me that all that will change after my surgery. So far I am very happy and it's just 4 weeks. Each day I get better and better and I can foresee happy days again. I recommend Dr. Zuckerman very highly and he is also a very nice guy. :) :)"
