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.

I've only been in the Adventist health care system for a very short time, and at the age of 66, I can say, this is the best medical care, I've EVER received by far!

Dr Wunschel is a very caring Dr, he has great bedside manner. He takes the time to get to know you as the patient, and get to the root of the problem. I would and have recommended my family to see him. He's been treating me for many years, I'm honored to have such a caring Dr in my corner.

He doesn't explain anything, the little that he does explain he says it so fast you don't understand. He doesn't listen well and he thinks he knows everything. He is very short with his appointments and doesn't have any real concern for his patients.

Too much pain to deal with in Modesto , CA – Oct 25, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Wunschel?
The office staff is completely rude and inefficient. I never saw the doctor or had a chance to because the staff messed up and didn't send initial paperwork for me to fill out before the appointment. I was turned away and said my next appointment would depend on the xray I had done. i called about the xray and the staff member said there are no stones and was very degrading and rude and wouldn't let me make an appointment and hung up on me. Would NEVER recommend...run.
