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. Dunham is superb, an excellent surgeon.
He listens, he is very smart and innovative and explained my complicated surgery so I completely understood. He did a great job and I'm blessed to be recovering fully. I highly recommend Dr. Dunham.

Dr. Dunham was my incredible thoracic surgeon in February, as I faced a possible recurrence of Fibre Sarcoma after 31 years! The bumps that protruded from the bottom of my Gortex implant needed to be removed and biopsied. Kaiser scheduled me quickly through 3 tests, which all were inconclusive. I was quickly scheduled with Oncology, and the tumor board agreed I should have surgery. Again, I was quickly scheduled with my consult with Dr. Dunham. And the next day he found a time for my surgery the very next week! He had to do research, as a recurrence of bone cancer 31 years later is unheard of. He arranged a phone appointment 3 days later with updates, and created time for surgery in 4 more! He goes above and beyond for patients. He is so knowledgeable, but could articulate the complications of my surgery in terms I could completely understand. He is the perfect combination of professionalism, competency, and compassion through listening.

Dr Lanny Dunham Jr is the most talented and dedicated surgeon I have ever met. I have had two different surgeries with him, and his care was absolutely superb! I felt so fortunate to have him as a doctor. His diagnoses were astute and on-point, as well as the surgeries and pain management. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Dr L Dunham is not only professional (world known) surgeon specialist, he is a terrific decent compassionate human being and this guy was a godsend for the cancerous nodule he chose to remove. Had it not have been for his opinion and expertise, the nodule would still be there and things could have been gravely worse. Kudos to you and God bless you Dr D, You are an absolute gem and literally a life saver. Kathey Collins-Kurrell. Australia.

Dr. Dunham is one of most caring professional surgeons that we have met. In the last 5 months, he has performed 2 surgeries on my husband. He always takes the time to explain what he will be doing or has done during this procedure. He has provided pictures as my husband requests and we have always felt secure that if a surgical problem is solvable, he will do it. Kudos, Dr. Dunham. Kaiser Permanente is lucky to have you on its staff of doctors.

My sister recently underwent surgery on her lung. We were so fortunate to have Dr. Dunham as her surgeon. He was with us every step of this frustrating experience. He was so nice and caring. He is not just the best professional, he is great human being. God bless him and his family!

I just had an inguinal hernia repair from Dr. Dunham and am very pleased with the entire experience, from his nursing team to the surgery itself. Dr. Dunham's level of professionalism and expertise is unmatched and he is a very confident doctor, which is exactly what one would want in a surgeon. He explains things well and knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to any friends or family in need of surgery and would return to him if ever I need surgery again.
