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.

Sincerely cares for his patients.
He called my son(s) (with my permission) to frankly discuss my health conditions so they understand what I am doing my best to deal with. He is truly a kind and caring doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Untal for over two years now and have nothing but praise for him, his compassion and professionalism. He and his staff are fully committed to helping his patients. I would recommend Dr. Untal to any of my friends, because he knows what he's doing and his treatments are very effective. And - a very important point - he listens to his patients, and I appreciate that.

I had my first back injection by Dr. Untal yesterday and was very impressed by his professionalism as well as his compassion. Also the staff and nurses at Gallelo Surgical Center. So far no pain and I’m hoping it will take care of my back issues.

Empathetic and professional. Discusses all options for treatment and answer question in their entirety. I truly feel he recommends what’s best for me based on my conditions and not his time or schedule. I’m blessed, to have found Dr. Untal.
