I've seen Dr Zemsky on and off for over ten years. He appears to be gruff but try asking him a question and you will see he has a heart of gold and a great sense of humor. I've been in the office filled with people of all races and nationalities. I've never seen any sign of discrimination or racism directed at anyone. Mary and Michelle are angels of the office - I've walked for years pain free after a surgeon from RWJ insisted I needed a knee replacement so I'm sticking with Dr Z!

I am an RN who visited Dr. Zemsky after injuring my left knee. I found hm to be so rude and condescending that I walked out of his office midway through my "visit." I came to him as a new patient. He never looked me in the eyes, never introduced himself, asked exactly two questions and touched my knee for less than twenty seconds, then told me that I "obviously had arthritis." Had he bothered to ask, I would have told him that the injury was traumatic and sudden, that immediately after the injury I could not fully bear weigh... read more

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE TO MY WORST ENEMY. The x ray tech is very nice, but that is where the niceness ends. Dr. Zemsky is rude and I felt very I comforable. He also did the physical examination while I had a winter jacket on.

Dr. Zemsky is a great doctor. He is very professional. I recommend him to everyone I know. His secretary on the other hand is very rude and arrogant. She talks down to everyone. I have never met someone so disrespectful in my life. I recommend him because he is excellent but I always warn people about his secretary. SO BE WARNED ABOUT HER!!

He does not have a good bed side manor, but very knowledgeable. If you let him do his job, he will get the job done quickly and less painful. But, unfortually he takes insurance and has to listen to them also. Physical therapy.

The doctor would not order an MRI until 8 weeks after the injury , even though he took numerous X-rays. I was in extreme pain, but was told that I just had a low tolerarance for pain. It turned out that I had 3 fractures in my foot-so I went to someone else. I felt belittled and was very angry at this doctor.

This doctor is the most arrogant doctor that I have ever visited. He does not give you a chance to talk. He completely violated hippa laws by verbally outing my medical illnesses in the doorway of the examination room. He is disrespectful and crude. I am definitely filing a lawsuit and will be seeking for anoher doctor.

Operated on my Knee(major Surgery) in 1979...34 years later I can do more now then I did as a teenager . No joke if I ever needed more knee work done it would be done by Dr Zemsky .

The exact same experience as the other poster. Very arrogant, Shows no respect, does not even allow you to talk to describe the symptoms. Does not explain anything, the reception thinks of herself as another MD and is downright insulting. Please find another doctor and save yourself trouble and frustration.
