Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unprofessional, arrogant, belittling.

He is the the most arrogant, rude and disrespectful Doctor that I have ever met. He does not listen when he specifically asks questions. Instead he has cut me off mid-sentence and treated me like I was an idiot or beneath him. Mocking me and my symptoms, who does that? If you feel that way fine, but keep it to yourself. Remember I am paying you for a service, so learn how to interact appropriately and respectfully. Needless to say I will never subject myself to that verbal abuse again.

After years of being misdiagnosed, Dr. Kunkel was swift to find the root of my problems. He is very direct and does not sugar coat things, and I like that. I like knowing exactly what I am dealing with. I think he is a brilliant doctor and recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Kunkel was extremely rude to me after misdiagnosing my condition and giving me the wrong treatment. I would NOT recommend him as a family doctor as he is extremely unprofessional and his wait times are very long.
