She fixed my Vocal Cord Paralysis. She is an amazing doctor and she changed my life for the better. She helped me get off thickened liquids and she ended my aspiration pneumonias. She is also so kind and understanding. My experience as her patient was great. I was 11 when she did my surgeries and injections

We showed up at Morristown Hospital for an MRI for our daughter only to be sent away for not having a “prescription”. Apparently the paperwork sent wasn’t satisfactory. Dr. Zur’s office sent an “order”. Don’t accept it! Ask for a prescription on a traditional green prescription slip. Being that it was Saturday, Dr Zur’s office was closed and no prescription could be had. We did receive a follow up call from a backup Dr. but it was the same unacceptable “order” #HealthcareNightmare

Routinely runs 1+ hours late. Doesn't seem to care. Heard her gossiping with a co-worker in the hall while I was waiting. There are other doctors out there.

My daughter had a vocal cord cyst excised by Dr. Zur and her care was excellent.
