I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Evan Packer. I came into Dr. Packer's office with excruciating lumbar back pain that had been going on for over six weeks. Dr. Packer came highly recommended and when I called I was told that he was totally booked and was going out of town in a few days. I literally begged to be seen and despite the fact that he was so busy he agreed to see me. The office staff displayed a high level of professionalism and genuine help. This is a doctor who knows compassion. He told me I needed surgery and ordered preop tests and examinations which shortly followed. He took time and explained everything. I felt calm and in excellent hands. The next day he did my surgery and provided personalized treatment and care that yielded positive results. I am so grateful for everything he did for me. He gave me another turn at life. I'll be 80 in a few weeks.

Dr. Zucker and his remarkable team, including Brianna, Hsiu (Showan), and the entire staff, have been a true blessing throughout my medical journey. From scheduling with Tiffany to initial consultation to the post-operative care, every step of the way was met with professionalism, warmth, and expertise. Dr. Zucker's thorough explanations and genuine concern eased any anxieties I had about my surgery. Brianna and Hsiu (Showan) went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and informed, with their humor adding a much-needed dose of levity to the process. The seamless coordination and exceptional care provided by this team are unparalleled. I am incredibly grateful for their dedication and highly recommend them to anyone seeking outstanding medical care.

From my first phone interaction with Barbara at reception and later in person, to the medical assistant (sorry, forgot your name!), Brianna the PA, Dr Zucker, and lastly Jessica in scheduling, the experience was comforting, professional, and informative. I did not feel rushed, stressed, or unimportant as just another patient to see and discharge as quickly as possible. This is the way a medical practice should function -- as people who are interested in your well-being and there to assist you in any way they can. Thank you!

I was fit in , as my set appointment was on 5/23, but I called and asked to be seen sooner, due to extreme pain and inability to use my right leg to walk even with my cane. My first encounter was with Brianna, Dr Zucker’s PA. She looked over my MRI disk, and thoroughly discussed my injury and concerns. I felt totally safe as she was both very professional, and understanding of my pain. When dr Zucker came in, we discussed the doctors I had seen, their diagnoses and their credentials. I shared that I wanted a neurosurgeon to complete my care; I was very reassured that Dr. Z’s care will help me. He spent over 45 minutes evaluating my condition, which includes some complications from stenosis near my fractures. He assures me we will take care of both and I will be able to walk. These two medical professionals were the kindest, most complete evaluators I’ve had the good fortune to have in many years. Because they fit me in, I was there beyond 5:00. The entire office staff stayed, and when I apologized for causing them to work late, they all assured me it was ok. They couldn’t have been kinder to a new patient. I fully endorse this practice, Dr. Zucker, Brianna, Kayla and George, and am confident that I have the right practice, and will have great care.

Dr Packer and Nicole are exceptional. If you need surgery, this is the team you want by your side while you’re under anesthesia. Dr Packer is ahead of his time. He is beyond intelligent yet explains your condition in terms you understand. He is relentless in his continuum of care for you, same for Nicole. They are both caring individuals that have your best interest. The last place I wanted to be is under the knife, but I needed surgery to gain back my quality of life. I felt safe with Dr. Packer and Nicole.

I usually don’t write reviews so early without fully experiencing a product or service, but this feels different because I now have hope of a more functional and active life. More importantly , we have to Credit excellence. Dr. Packer is proficient and a leader in his field. He is also caring and has a sense of humor. The very first time I met him, I was impressed because he gave me hope. After reading about him online and watching his interview, and finding out that he worked at Moffit Cancer Center, I was even more impressed. And his family’s community involvement evokes trust. I’ve been in pain for over four years with the ability to do very little like making my bed, sleeping, using the toilet, etc. or inability to enjoy simple pleasures such as gardening, exercising, having lunch with a friend, going to a movie/concert, etc. I’ve seen many doctors who wouldn’t or couldn’t help me (one of the doctors said he was afraid he would make me worse. I now appreciate his honesty). Because of these previous experiences, it is evident to me that Dr. Packer did more than his best. The very first day of the spinal fusion, I was up and about using the bathroom independently. The very next day, I made four lapses around the nurse’s station. Two days after the surgery, I’m now in the kitchen preparing my full liquid soup without assistance :) These simples examples are to illustrate how drastically the spinal fusing surgery is already improving my life. I’m more excited about doing things now. Physical pain deters and discourages. I’m welcome a less pain-free existence. Two days after surgery: -The nagging pain in my behind is almost completely gone. -The pain that drove me madly to the hospital has lessened significantly. -To be honest, I still have intermittent pain and numbness, but I believe that I must now do my part: moving, standing, walking, and doing. It took time for the pain to magnify, so it will take le time to decrease- but I am seeing change and having a new outlook on life. I’m looking forward to physical therapy to help final stage of my recovery and begin living again. I have a strange feeling that I will experience full recovery. I would without hesitation recommend Dr. Packer to my family members and everyone suffering from spinal injuries because I not only trust his abilities and experiences, I’ve also experienced it just as I have shared in this review. There’s so much more to say. I’ll make myself available to anyone who want to talk to me about this experience. Dr. Packer, thank you very much. Dr. Packer office staff is amazing. I want to send a special shout out to Diana. She is empathetic, supportive, caring, super nice, and efficient. She handles everything with expediency. She made my urgency her urgency - something you don’t see every day - very rare quality in today’s world. Dr. Packer’s PA, Ms. Wang, is knowledgeable. She was able to answer all my questions. She followed up and through with everything she says she will do. She’s also caring and sympathetic. The Brain and Spine Center of South Florida values, respects, and cares for humans and quality of life. I believe that is the reason Dr. Packer chose to help me when other doctors refused and the reasons his staff is so wonderfully caring. I had an amazing experience. Thank you

I was referred to Doctor Packer through my attorney’s office and I was in very rough shape due to a car accident. I was slammed into while sitting at a red light. Concussion, several herniations in the cervical and thoracic areas of my spine. I was experiencing pain and numbness down my left arm and could barely use it. As you can imagine this affected my ability to work and provide for my family drastically. Dr. Packer recommended a series of injections and various treatments and did everything he possibly could to try and prevent a surgery given that I am only 31 years old. Unfortunately I ended up having to have cervical disc replacement surgery and I have to say since the surgery I have done a complete 180. The entire time i have treated with Dr. Packer I have received nothing but the best care. They listened to what my complaints were and accurately identified and treated the problems with little to no issue. I was extremely nervous about having the surgery Dr. Packer and the staff made the entire experience painless. Now I hope I never have to do anything like this ever again but should I need to I know where I need to go to get the best care. Thank you Dr. Packer and the entire team at Brain and Spine Center of South Florida in Delray Beach. It’s because of you that I now have my life back.
