Dr. R Paul Unkefer, MD

I have been a patient of Dr UNKEFER for years and recommended to all my friends. I called to see if I could get in to have a shot for a tick bite. I found a tick on my upper back that was about a quarter inch big and filled with blood and very scary. I was having a strange reaction in my face and neck. Since I know ticks carry deadly disease I called Dr Unkefer because he had given me a shot years ago. I was told I would have to make an appointment and it might be months before I could get an appointment. You can become deadly sick and dead from tick bites. I will not be recommending him any more and will be passing on his lack of concern for patients. It is so disappointing that I have been his patient for years and this happened. I have always fulfilled my obligations as a patient and his office has not returned their responsibility for me as a patient. I won’t forget this and will pass it on.

My Wife and I have been patients of Dr Unkefer for 10 plus years and found him to be very professional and thorough. He found and took care of skin issues that if not treated would have been serious.

I have been a patient of Dr. Unkefer for several years. He has removed 4 basal cell cancers on my face and one on my shoulder, plus a squamous cell on my leg, and a cyst on my back. All have healed well with no recurrence and barely there thin scars. He is excellent!

I have been his patient for nearly eighteen years and trust his judgment completely. He has treated me for actinic caritoses, basal cells, and squamous cells. All good outcomes--and no scarring.

I have had 3 surgeries with dr unkefer I was very pleased and will recommend him Paul garland in greenback tn.

He has been my dermatologist for 20 years. He removed several skin cancers using mohs methods and other procedures that other doctors would only do in a hospital or surgical center. He is knowledgeable, kind and efficient.

PA did procedure on my back. Overhead lights were not working so they moved me close to a window. They were short-staffed and nurse had to switch back and forth between myself and another patient. As PA was beginning to stitch me up, doctor came in gave him instructions about how it should be done. It was evident that that PA have not done this before. This episode did not Inspire confidence.

I have had several Mohs surgeries done by Dr. Unkefer over the last few years. The treatment and results have always been excellent. I appreciate that I never have to wait for an appointment

Dr Unkefer is a kind and caring dermatologist. Very, very knowledgable. Listens to patient concerns and questions. He is very thorough and provides the most complete care. He offers many treatment plans that are state of the art. I highly recommend Dr. Unkefer as a dermatologist and MOHS surgeon.

Final appointment: I had an appointment with him to check his work on surgery that had taken a long time to heal, and I arrived about 15 minutes late. He refused to see me. I heard him talking behind the desk about the fact that I was late. So, I have never returned. I made an appointment with a different doctor to check the surgery. Before the final appointment my concern had been that he seemed very quick to decide to surgery.
