Lloyd Zucker, MD has dedicated the past two decades to the neurosurgical care of the constituents of Palm Beach County. As a board certified neurosurgeon, he diagnoses and treats all aspects of neurologic illness, including brain and spine. With appointments as the Chief of Neurosurgery and the Director, Neurosurgical Services at Delray Medical Center he has championed bringing the newest state of the art technologies to the tri-county area.
He cares for brain conditions including brain tumors, intracerebral hemorrhages, hemorrhagic strokes as well as all types of brain trauma. Utilizing technology from Synaptive Medical and NICO Neuros Brainpath he performs minimally invasive craniotomies, accessing deep lesions within the brain previously though to be inoperable.

Under his guidance Delray Medical Center is equipped to handle from the routine to the most technically demanding cases. Dr. Zucker subspecializes in a variety of neurological areas including radiosurgery, neuro-oncology, stereotactic procedures and the use of Monteris NeuroBlate System MRI-guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for ablation of brain tumors (LITT). He leads clinical trials in the treatment of brain tumors including fluorescent-guided surgery for gliomas and trials involving traumatic injury to the brain and spinal cord.
