About Dr. Zuber

“As a high-volume, fellowship-trained endocrine surgeon, I believe the best care comes from a true partnership with my patients. In a health system that often feels rushed and impersonal, I promise to give you the time and information you need to make fully informed decisions tailored to you. Honored as a San Diego Magazine Top Doc, my commitment is to deliver precision, excellence, and a deeply personalized surgical experience”

Dr. Sam Zuber is a board-certified general and fellowship-trained endocrine surgeon. Bringing elite surgical expertise to Southern California, Dr. Zuber’s practice serves patients across the region, extending from San Diego and La Jolla to North County and Temecula. He is one of the few active members of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES) in San Diego, a recognized high-volume adrenal surgeon, and an expert in robotic surgery using the DaVinci Xi and DV5 platforms. Recognizing the stress of long wait times, Dr. Zuber is committed to seeing new patients within days to weeks of their initial call. As a specialist certified in ultrasonography, he frequently performs in-office, ultrasound-guided procedures—including thyroid FNAs—during the initial consultation to provide immediate answers. Outside of the operating room, Dr. Zuber loves to golf, ski in his home state of Colorado, and play soccer with his three kids.
