Sep 29, 2024

I have been his patient close to 30 years.

Sep 29, 2024

Due to a recent retirement of a long-time provider, possibly the best doctor I have ever had, left me in a quandary. I was in need of a replacement. After an extensive search, I'm extremely pleased to have found Dr. Daniel Zerbe in Perry, NY! I feel that the care I have received during my visit, and will going forward will prove that I have made the correct decision. No doubt my exceptional healthcare continues without interruption.

Dr. Zerbe listened to my concerns and history and ordered the needed tests to figure out my acute situation.Nurse Jordyn and Nurse Barb were caring as they worked together to get me set to see Dr. Zerbe.

I am a Snowbird, actually a Florida resident so I'm in western NY State less than 6 months a year. However I've gone to the practice in Perry, NY since shortly after it opened - probably close to 40 years and long before I became a FL resident. I tell you all this because I've always felt I have gotten excellent care at this practice, and they do have concern for their patients. This includes everyone on their staff. This office visit did not disappoint. I have a primary care doctor in Florida. I much prefer the practice in Perry.
