Dr. Douglas Unis, MD

Don’t let Dr. Unis operate on you!! During knee replacement surgery, they inexplicably cut my Patella tendon and could not explain how this catastrophic injury occurred. Four days after leaving the hospital, he has not called to see how I’m doing after this life altering damage to my knee. This was the worst decision I made, please don’t let him or anyone from his team operate on you. You will regret it and suffer for the rest of your life. If could give a minus rating I would. He doesn’t deserve a one star rating.

The amount of time this doctor spent on my appointment was exactly 2 minutes. I couldn’t even ask questions.

I now have two different length legs. Agonizing back and hip pain, I went back to Dr. Unis. He told me his knees were perfect. I could now have hip replacements.

It's all about the money with his office. He emphasized that he is a joint specialist and doesn't deal with my knee condition. He ordered mri's of both knees. I called his office for 2 weeks to get a recommendation for a doctor I should see. They kept saying that I needed to go to the office ( which is costly and painful ). Why should I go in when I just need a recommendation ? To make things worse, his office then changed the story to " you need a cortisone shot ". 2 doctors that I had seen before ( who then didn't take my insurance ) told me that a cortisone shot would make my condition worse. SHAMEFUL !!!!!!!

I concur with the negative reviews. Dr. Unis makes a good impression in the beginning but does not do well when things don't go well. I am still in intense pain two years after my total hip replacement. Dr. Unis told me that his work looked great on the post-op X-Rays, poked the side of my hip to see if I might have bursitis (which I don't), said he didn't know why it was still hurting, and ended the appointment as soon as he could. I went back again months later, still in pain, and he ordered blood work to see if I had an infection (I didn't). At the follow up, he had nothing to offer, and again ended the appointment hastily without attempting to help resolve the problem. I'm seeking other opinions now and hope I can find some relief.

The care I received from Dr Unis was completely cavalier. I went to him with extreme knee pain and after an x-ray and MRI he determined that nothing was broken or torn. He gave me a cortisone shot that he said might last a week or a month, but other than that, because of my age, (I'm 56) he said that I should learn to live with my pain. I believe this kind of medical care is negligent, and I recommend avoiding this doctor.

He gave me a knee replacement that I could have done without.. He was nice until I had a problem the he acted like he couldn't be bothered. I have a large very deep ugly scar and still have pain. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Dr Unis performed ahip replacement that became infected. He refused to take the pain seriously. Thought it might be bursitis. I ended up needing to have two more operations by another surgeon. Dr Unis is a nice guy until there’s a problem. I would strongly recommend against using him.

Dr. Unis has outstanding expertise. He employs two approaches for hip replacement to meet the needs of all patients. My experience was of the best: his surgical skills are superior, his staff and medical colleagues among the best. For major surgery you want experienced top tier caliber, so I highly recommend Dr. Unis. Needing surgery is tough so ensure your recovery is filled with gratitude because you gave yourself great hands to do the job.

The moment I saw Dr. Unis I realized he is the right doctor for me. He did such a good job on my hip that I feel totally renewed! Thank you, Dr. Unis! I highly recommend him for anyone who looks for orthopedics services! I trust him and am so happy I did my surgery at his clinic!

Great surgeon. He did such a good job on my knee replacement, I returned to him when it came time to replace my hip. Would highly recommend him. Good sense of humour as well.
