General Practitioners

• Headaches
• Sinusitis
  Dr. Zuckerman feels it is her duty to provide comprehensive medical care to patients of all ages with varied disorders of the head and neck. She makes it a priority to educate patients to fully understand the extent of their disease and their treatment options. She likes to explore all medical and surgical options together with the patient and make sure everyone leaves the office with a realistic treatment plan. She has been recognized for her research in nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis. She has authored and co authored numerous publications and textbook chapters in otolaryngology literature. She is also the editor of a pocket guide recently distributed to ENT trainees.
• Primary Care
• Ear Infections
  Dr. Lieberman evaluates patients in all areas of General Otolaryngology including nasal and sinus concerns, voice problems, and pediatric issues. He also has a specific interest in ear disease, including hearing problems, ear infections, ringing in the ears, and dizziness. Above all, Dr. Lieberman truly enjoys getting to know patients as well as their families. He spends time with patients to make sure they have a clear understanding of the disease process, diagnosis and treatment options. His greatest reward from the field of Otolaryngology has been the ability to simultaneously apply up to date medical technology, specialized surgical training and effective patient communication.
• Emergency Care
  Get tested now, BEFORE you get sick or need to be hospitalized for any reason. Although you can be tested at any time, having access to penicillin antibiotics can make any visit to the hospital or urgent care less expensive. Many penicillin-allergic patients are automatically offered alternative antibiotics that are more costly. Penicillin allergy testing is simple, safe and reliable, and only takes about 2 hours.
• Immunizations
  – The purpose of sublingual immunotherapy (allergy drops) is to decrease your sensitivity to allergy-causing substances, so that exposure to the offending allergen (pollen, mold, mites, animal danders, etc.) will result in fewer and less severe symptoms. This does not mean that immunotherapy is a substitute for avoidance of known allergens or for the use of allergy medications, but rather is a supplement to those treatment measures. Allergy drops have been shown to lead to an alteration of your immune system’s response to naturally occurring allergens. These alterations may permit you to tolerate exposure to the allergen with fewer symptoms. You, in effect, become “immune” to the allergen. The amount of this immunization is different for each person and is, therefore, somewhat unpredictable.
