Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Remarkable experience
Dr. Zappetti took enough time with me to have a real conversation and respect my input. She is very supportive and also very knowledgable, which made for a truly exceptional visit. I evey am willing to fight my night owl instincts to try to make my next appointment with her, which will be at 9 a.m.! She is in high demand, as she should be.

Thank you, Dr Zappetti!
I saw Dr Zappetti after some issues were identified on a chest Xray. I feel so lucky to have seen her. She is thorough and kind. I felt completely heard and reassured about next steps. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending her! A tip for other patients: if you were in the area close to the World Trade Center on or in the months after 9-11, do yourself a favor and look into the WTC Health Fund.

Dr. Zappetti is the BEST!!
Dr. Zappetti is a highly professional, gifted, kind and wonderful doctor. I am blessed to have her part of my health team at Weill Cornell. Whenever I see her, she is patient, thorough, friendly and demonstrates a genuine interest to what I have to say as her patient. She is a great listener and responds to my questions or concerns with advice, treatment if any, and the best options for any health situations that I feel affect me as a dedicated, yet senior runner. Weill Cornell is fortunate to have Dr. Zappetti on staff.

Everything you want in a doctor
Dr Zapetti was on time for my appointment and spent a lot of time with me. It was obvious she had thoroughly reviewed my previous doctor’s records since she was familiar with my history at my first visit. She interviewed me further for additional information, then explained in detail the possible cause of my condition. I left with a better understanding of my condition and treatment options. She’s extremely patient and answered my questions. I never felt rushed.

Excellent Pulmonologist
My experience with Dr. Zappetti was excellent. I met with Dr. Zappetti three times in the last several months as I had developed Asthma following a severe bout of allergies last summer. The appointments were never rushed, the check in process was very efficient and the appointments were always on time. Her staff were friendly. Dr. Zappetti took time with the initial diagnosis and reviewing my medical history. She spent time discussing, explaining and reviewing options for further testing and a treatment plan, which ended up working very well for me. I highly recommend Dr. Zappetti.

Good diagnostician, but expect 5-10 extra hours of red tape & bc the office is disorganized & dysfunctional. The nurse takes outside CDs in a hurry, Dr Z reads them in another room, loses them so have to reorder & resend them several times. The staff asks for records. After I spent several hours sending them, Ayesha said Jose misinformed me. She was nasty & lots of back & forth. When I reminded her conversations are recorded, she changed her tune. They keep inaccurate records, Dr. Z forgot to note I was having troublme breathing & didn't recall me saying that at my appointment. I had my appointment with Dr Z with some other elser guy I never met. I could only message him: not her. Dr. Zapetti's chairman of Weill Cornell so expect politics big time & the hospital backs her up. Unless you have a lot of time to waste,est to go elsewhere
