I've been in search for a Primary Care doctor for a few months now and was happy to come acros Dr. Joseph Connor on Zocdoc. Upon arrival, the staff was friendly and had all my information on file. The nurse was very polite and kept me informed on the process. And finally, Dr. Connor was friendly, polite and was very easy to speak with. The ease of speaking with my doctor regarding my health is of the utmost importance to me and Dr. Connor was a great listener and communicator. Made me feel welcomed and will definitely recommend him to anyone. I believe I made a good choice and look forward to my follow up visits with him. ~Michael F.~

August 17, 2026Kerron F.Verified patient

Dr. Connor’s impeccable reputation on ZocDoc is 100% accurate. I have been dealing with debilitating health issues for about 4 years and came to ZocDoc to find additional care. I made an appointment with Dr. Connor based on the reviews I read about him & let me tell you… he really is that good. Dr.Connor is incredibly sharp, has great bedside manner, and listens with empathy and curiosity. He was a clear communicator and I left feeling both encouraged and understanding clearly next steps. I am so thankful to have found him! 100/100 recommend

August 12, 2026Riley H.Verified patient

The office staff was fantastic and Dr. Connor was amazing, very nice, pleasant to talk to, and super relaxed demeanor. He really took the time to get to know me as a person. When you book through ZocDoc, they confirm quickly and send you a link to complete online check-in that can save you a ton of time. I’ll definitely be coming back for me future primary care visits here!

This was my first visit with Dr. Zucherman, and I was impressed from the moment I walked in. The young man at the reception desk was fantastic—friendly, courteous, sweet, and genuinely welcoming. I was taken back right on time, had my weight and vitals done, and Dr. Zucherman came in almost immediately. No sitting around forever in an exam room waiting! Dr. Zucherman was personable, direct, and an excellent listener. What stood out most was that she was a problem solver. She listened to what I had to say, asked the right questions, and approached my concerns in a practical, thoughtful way. She came across as genuine and very easy to talk to. I left feeling heard, comfortable, and confident that I had found a doctor who actually wants to help find solutions. A great first experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend!
