Hello, I'm Dr. Zucchero!
I would like to welcome you to my practice.
I have been treating children from the ages of six months to 18 years of age for over 30 years. I am Board Certified through the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and hold memberships and positions in many professional organizations and have achieved many accomplishments.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has emphasized that all children should be referred to a "dental home" by age one for proper nursing, nutritional and preventive care. We would like to extend a personal invitation for you to be part of our home and join the many children and families who have experienced and received this service at our practice.
I love interacting with parents and would be happy to answer any questions you may have to better understand your child's dental care. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. Call our office today at 773.792.2347.
I would love to see your child's smile!

I brought my kids to him 8 years ago when we were just new to the US. He was referred to us by my kid's primary doctor however when he was doing the procedure to one of kid's I noticed that my boy is in deep pain, his eyes was in tears and asking for mercy to stop but this dentist just continuing his thing and even telling my boy to stop talking and need to take the pain in a commanding voice. I thought this is the normal way or practice of US dentists. After that I never brought my kids to him again eventhough he keeps on calling me personally for follow-up. My boys are so traumatic for what happen. I send them to other dentist after that and notice the difference. The new dentist was so friendly, nice and very gentle handling my boys. So I realized that this doctor is a nightmare.

He yelled at my child and told my child to SHUT UP! He should never be allowed near children. Great office staff though. They were embarrassed by his behavior and repeatedly apologized. He then called to follow up and instead of apologizing he said it was all a misunderstanding.
