Bio
What are some of the specific conditions you treat?
Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondylarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's Syndrome, mixed connective tissue disorder, inflammatory myositis, dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis, gout, pseudogout, polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arteritis, vasculitis, IgG4-related disease, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and osteoporosis.
What techniques or procedures do you use in your practice?
Diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound, including guided joint injections and aspirations.
Describe some of your professional highlights.
I am a clinical rheumatologist with extensive expertise in a variety of conditions with a particular interest in vasculitis. I have published a number of articles in well-respected medical journals and presented research findings at several national conferences.
What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?
I approach and treat every patient as if they were my family members. My goal is to be as comprehensive, thorough, and compassionate as possible. I spend time carefully researching the history and understanding the symptoms in order to devise a plan focused on optimizing the effects of treatment while balancing the potential side effects.
What inspired you to become a doctor?
Having grown up in a family surrounded by physicians, medicine is in my "DNA". I was lucky to have witnessed firsthand the healing powers of medicine, first through the work of my parents and grandparents and further after I, myself, embarked on the same path. Medicine is a second career for me, having previously worked in the financial industry for a number of years, before realizing my true calling.

Visited Dr. Zuckerman office for my 6 month bone density shot. Dr. Zuckerman, as usual, demonstrated a high level of clarity by explaining the procedure and recovery progress in detail, ensuring I understood all instructions. I felt completely confident in the care provided and would recommend 100% this practice for anyone needing a rheumatologist. Thank you Dr. Zuckerman!
