David Jay Zeiger

June 24th, 2024

The shock of learning of Dr. Zeiger’s death lingered for days only to be replaced by profound sadness. I immediately thought of the immense loss for his beloved wife and sons, both of whom filled him with pride and joy. My heartfelt condolences to Llise, Hayden and Jonah.
I have been Dr. Z’s patient for 13 years. He restored my health and I will forever be indebted to him for the status of my immune system, and the years of medical care he provided, par excellant! He is truly one of a kind. I may be able to find another doctor who is board certified in integrative medicine, but I will miss him as a special human being, a caring soul. My last appointment with him was a mere 10 days before his passing. He told me he always appreciated how compliant I have been as a patient. I replied I’m only compliant when I trust the doctor. He was as delighted as I with my lab results during our last visit. And as it turns out I am so glad, on that day, I expressed my gratitude to him for all he has done for me over the years. He laughed when he asked me the status of my BMs. and I replied, I think of him daily as I admire the formation per his stool chart. We both chuckled. He seemed so robust and healthy. Life is unpredictable. I am so sorry that his family lost him so prematurely.
I will never forget you, Dr. Z.

I am so stunned & heartbroken to hear of Dr. Zeigers passing. He was the most amazing Dr & kind & caring person & I am honored to have known him. I have been a patient for many years & he has helped me overcome so many horrible health problems through natural medicine. He showed me that I could live my life pain free once again. He was so wise & caring, his knowledge was so awe inspiring. If he didn’t have an immediate answer he would research & find one. He really cared about his patients & we all felt that. He loved what he was doing & it showed. He would always ask about my daughter & we would share pictures of our kids & keep up with what they were doing. I am heartbroken for his wife & sons & his pup whom he all loved so very much. There will never be another one like him. May he rest in eternal peace. Thank you Dr Zeiger for helping me become a healthier person. I will never forget you.

Dr Zeiger has been my doctor for over twenty years, and my mom has also been a patient for many years. We would like to express our heartfelt condolences to his lovely family. We are so sorry for your loss. Dr Z was one in a million. It was good fortune that put me in the Whole Foods on Huron Street in Chicago one day, chatting to a nutritionist who happened to work with him and sent me his way. He was different from any doctor I had ever gone to. He had such an energy and kindness, and so much knowledge. He helped me so much, when traditional medicine had either given up on me or failed me. His knowledge went so very far beyond the norm, just as his intellectual curiosity did. He always wanted to find a way to help. And he did help me. He showed me that I could be well again. Dr. Zeiger wanted me to care about myself as much as he did. Thank you, Dr Z. Thank you. Your memory will always be a blessing.

Dr. Zeiger has been a huge influence on me since the very beginning of my career as a pharmacist.

I was fortunate enough to work closely with him over the last 15 years and will be forever grateful for the knowledge he shared with me over those years.

The most impressive thing about him was the way his patients could tell how much he truly cared about them, willing to go above and beyond to get them the care they need.

I will miss my friend and colleague Dr. David Zeiger but I will never forget the wisdom and generosity he shared with me.

I met David at a Heel Seminar in Chicago where I was giving the seminar during which a kinship formed and became a warm friendship of these past 20 years. His voice and kindness will resonate where my soul berths reminding me to never forget to cherish your friendships. He was a really good soul and an attribute to my life.
