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.

Horrible Bedside Manner
He is a good clinician - if you see him you won't die physically. But he was so rude and gaslight me constantly. This last visit was the last straw I am done. I deserve better. Just because you are a good clinician doesn't mean you should see patients or that it is appropriate.

Dr. Kunz was friendly and answered all of my questions. Offered diagnosis and how to go about treating my condition. Currently working with Dr. Kunz in hopes of optimizing my health and getting me back into the game.

Rude, arrogant and dismissive
Wow I won't be seeing this provider again. I gave him a second chance to not be so rude and he's not any better. His because manner was so bad I left wondering if he hates his job or people in general. You'd think someone would talk to him about his demeanor or maybe they don't because they can't find anyone better? I will not go again.

Trust your first impression
I have to agree with the one star reviews! I thought maybe it was just me. I’ve given it three tries and don’t plan on seeing him again. I ended up with him by default when the pulmonologist I was seeing left the practice, and there is no comparison . The previous pulmonologist, Dr. Malik, was kind, smart and never made me feel like I was a pain in the neck. Dr. Kunz did. Dismissive, rude, patronizing, arrogant, etc. I should have trusted my first impression. I’ll drive across the mountains if I have to. I only gave one star because no stars wasn’t an option.

I was very worried about this appointment after reading previous comments! I almost cancelled! My experience was not like these other reviews at all! I found Dr Kunz to be friendly and interested in my situation. He spent a great deal of time with me and gave me ideas on how to control my asthma attacks. Never critical or rude! George was also great!! He was my breathing test coach and I thought he was fabulous! Both had a goodsense of humor both were very professional and caring. No worries ..

If doctors are supposed to do no harm, Dr. Kunz failed at this. His mannerism was argumentative and rude and he made assumptions that were inaccurate and offensive. If I would have known this appointment was going to consist of me sitting in a room feeling like I was being yelled at for 10 minutes, I would have cancelled. If Dr. Kunz is the only option, you're better of figure out my medical issue on your own.

I saw Dr. Kunz twice. Both times, my spouse and I found Dr. Kunz to be unprofessional. He seemed to have little interest in doing anything more than the minimum to get by. His style came off as flippant and dismissive, almost to the point of being rude. To us, Dr. Kunz seemed like a doctor who doesn't much like his job and is just putting in his time. Maybe he was just having a bad day, both times, but I chose to change doctors. I'm very satisfied with my new one.

Immediately rude and disrespectful. He walked in and immediately had a mean interrogation and kept asking why I was there and what did I want and what was he supposed to do. His arms were crossed and his tone of voice was mean. I wanted to be mean and defensive but instead left without discussing my options or discussing my issues. He even said I was slowly killing myself. I traveled an hour and half and found a babysitter to be treated so horribly and upset greatly.
