My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I have been practicing general internal medicine and taking care of patients throughout the New York City metro area since 1983. I believe the essence of providing quality care is building close and personal relationships with patients and their families. This happens when there is trust, open communication and a mutual commitment to a healthy lifestyle. 

In my personalized healthcare practice, I have more time to work closely with all of my patients and tailor their care to their unique needs and goals. For the past 25 years, I have been recognized as one of Castle Connolly’s “Top Doctors” in New York. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

My office is conveniently located on the lower west side of Manhattan, and I am affiliated with New York University Medical Center. I care for patients in the immediate area, as well as surrounding neighborhoods, including Chelsea, Gramercy, Midtown, Tribeca, Flatiron, Murray Hill, Union Square, East Village, West Village and the tristate region. 

I take pride in having an exceptional and attentive office staff who know my patients on a personal level. As a private doctor, my patients have peace of mind knowing I am available for same-day or next-day appointments, as well as by cell phone for urgent needs. In addition to primary care, I also focus on prevention and treatment of hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol. I aim to partner with my patients to better understand and solve their medical problems through early interventions and wellness counseling.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Zeale

from Bess in NY February 10, 2024 for Peter J. Zeale, MD

My deceased husband and I have been Dr. Zeale's patients for over 50 years. He treats all his patients the same as before he joined MD-VIP meaning he never cut short our visits, checked every possible problem and always got back to us. I asked him not to retire till I died but he said he couldn't promise (I'm 81).
Recently 2 of my friends who also had concierge doctors… See more

from Mary in NY January 18, 2024 for Peter J. Zeale, MD

Dr. Zeale is always a phone call away. He promptly returns my calls. When lab results are involved, he calls and reviews the results and answers my concerns and questions. He and his staff are outstanding.

years and has never once not been available… See more

from Hallie in MA March 12, 2020 for Peter J. Zeale, MD

Dr. Zeale couldn't be more of an intelligent, reliable, and compassionate physician. I can always count on him to tend to my needs whenever something may arise, which is extremely comforting. As a young girl living in NYC, I transferred to becoming a patient of Dr. Zeale's after I grew out of pediatric care. I was so impressed with how comprehensive his exams are, the amount of… See more

from Seymour in NY March 11, 2020 for Peter J. Zeale, MD

Dr. Zeale always responds to my calls or e-mails. He is super conscientious about getting lab result and other relevant information to me in a timely fashions and explains significance of results. If he can't reach me at home, he often calls at my country home to reach me. When I once had to call him on a weekend, he responded quickly, I am 86 years old and I feel Dr. Zeale has… See more

from Deborah in NY March 11, 2020 for Peter J. Zeale, MD

Dr Zeale is an amazing doctor - always available, attentive & current.
My exams are thorough and never rushed. He listens to my concerns and his calming demeanor always helps put things in perspective.
Once when I was anxiously waiting for (what we thought would be) a thryoid biopsy, Dr Zeale contacted several doctors until he found one that could do the procedure sooner than… See more

from Ramesh in NY March 10, 2020 for Peter J. Zeale, MD

My wife and I have been very fortunate to have found Dr Zeale to be our family physician in NYC after we relocated from Texas. We are grateful to him for his very thorough treatment and wellness management through the last three years. He is a great listener, and has become like a good friend. His availability 24/7 is a great peace of mind
