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.

Dr. Unger provided GREAT service to me.
I was seen today by Dr. Melvin and I was pleased with his service.

Quality of Service
Dr. Unger and his staff are among the best I’ve had the pleasure to use. He replaced my left knee 14-years ago. It is is perfect condition. He is now treating another skeletal issue. I trust him implicitly. He has my unqualified confidence.

Magic Dr. Unger!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Unger since 2019. He takes care of my 64 yr-old left knee patiently, effectively, and so professionally, investing time in every visit to explain and review options with me to keep my knee going. This time I saw him for a PRP shot (Platelet Rich Plasma, my own freshly-drawn plasma injected in my knee!). It is experimental, but has been working beautifully with me. I trust Dr. Unger totally and recommend him wholeheartedly. He will be the one to do my knee replacement when time comes!

In a heart beat! He is a gifted surgeon and person
My entire experience was good from meeting the staff when I checked in to x-ray then seeing Dr. Unger to the nurse who fitted me for my crutches. Everyone seemed concerned about me being well cared for.

Exceptionally well run office. Dr. Unger and staff communicate clearly, relate thoughtfully. I had a knee replacement and I’m extremely pleased with all the care I’ve received pre-op to post-op.

I give Dr. Unger the very highest recommendation.
I could not be more satisfied with the first post-op visit. He was most encouraging, caring and straightforward.
