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.

Amazing Doctor
I usually don’t do this, but I was reading about Dr. Unger while my Father was being treated by him in Dr. Unger’s Emergency room. I want to start by saying Dr. Unger literally saved my Fathers life. I cannot believe someone would come on here and write something bad about him. This man literally deals with life and death everyday at work and people have the nerve to come on here and complain about him. Not only did he save my Fathers life but after he got him transferred he hugged everyone In our family and prayed with us in our room. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Dr. Unger and cannot recommend him enough.

TERRIBLE
I went to the ER and he was my physician. He was very condescending towards me and my husband, and I left with NO treatment or help. The only thing I got during my visit was him telling me to breathe, which I could do at home without spending hundreds of dollars. He made me feel stupid for telling him my concerns and what was wrong, and was very insensitive the whole visit. Would not recommend at ALL.

Exceptional Care and Compassion
I recently had an experience at South Central Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Room and felt compelled to share my gratitude for Dr. Jeremy Unger. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with the utmost care and professionalism.Dr. Unger immediately put me at ease with his calm demeanor and empathetic approach. Despite the high-stress environment of the ER, they took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, explain the necessary procedures, and answer all my questions with patience and clarity. It was evident that Dr. Unger possesses not only a profound medical knowledge but also a genuine compassion for his patients.What stood out the most was Dr. Unger's ability to communicate effectively, making complex medical terms understandable and ensuring I was comfortable with every step of my treatment. His swift and accurate diagnosis saved my life! Thank so much, Dr. Unger.

Very rude, hateful man. Terrible bed side manor. Just pare for the course with SCRMC. Had to go over his head to get my granddaughter the care she needed after being brought in having a seizure. No one I love will ever be under his care again. Pathetic excuse for a doctor.
