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 Dunnigan has gone out of his way in treating my restless legs.He's always gone above and beyond when treating me!

I have a horrible condition and I'm not fixable. Dr. Dunnigan has appealed insurance denials, written letters on my behalf, and does not give up trying to help. He listens, he's compassionate and I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

He was excellent, was concerned about me, had me demonstrate my walking problems, suggested aids to help and referred me to balance therapy. He throughly reviewed my medications and through it all his humor kept me comfortable. He is a wonderful resource for me regarding my stroke.
