"Chiropractor to the Stars"
Born and raised in Bayside, Queens, New York, Dr. Zucker grew up playing sports and constantly being physically active. During this time he developed a love for baseball and his passion for the game sent him to the University of Miami.
"I chose Miami because at the time it had the number one ranked college baseball team in the nation," says Dr. Zucker. "I figured my chances of being scouted by the majors were the greatest there."
However, during a practice, he took a violent swing and ended up throwing out his back, sidelining him for days. He was recommended to go see a Doctor of Chiropractic and he was amazed at the results. He noticed immediate improvement after just one visit, and "by the fifth visit, I was back at 100% my old self," he says. Over time, Dr. Zucker came to the realization that baseball was not his life's calling, but helping others achieve their true physical potential was. He decided that the best way to do so was to become a chiropractor.
After graduating from the University of Miami as a premed student, Dr. Zucker enrolled at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic in 1996 and worked along side other professionals until opening his own private practice in 2004.
It was during this time that Dr. Zucker befriended a well known actor that invited him to play on a softball team manned by people from the entertainment business. His baseball skills quickly took over and soon he received an invitation to play softball in the Maccabi Olympics in Israel. Dr. Zucker returned from the games with a bronze medal, and two years later he was welcomed to the U.S. men's softball team in the Pan-Am Maccabi Games being held in Mexico City. This time he helped bring home the gold. Not only did he contribute on the diamond, but he did so off the field as well by serving as the official chiropractor of the games for both events.
As the years progressed, Dr. Zucker continued to meet the needs of many entertainment personalities through various referrals and recommendations. His dedication to his practice and his clients led him to be commonly referred to as the "Chiropractor to the Stars."
Dr. Zucker continues to help people feel and reach their best, and calls it "one of the most rewarding experiences."
When Dr. Zucker is not in the office you can find him on a near by softball field still pursing his passion for the game, or spending time with his two wonderful daughters.
