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.

Very Satisfied with Services
When we had our very first visit, Dr. Ungar called that afternoon to see if the Prescriptions had reached the pharmacy. He has a calm and quiet bedside manner and like to use comedy for getting patients relaxed. Sometimes the office can get busy, but everyone tries very hard to get all the patients serviced as soon as possible. Very Professional in all ways.

I’m not sure what happened to cause all his offices to shut down but, I do not appreciate having to call around to see where my medical records are. I think the office as well as the Dr should have set that up where we would know where they went. I was told one Dr would be taking over his cases which was a lie, and I also have read in the paper where another Dr would be taking over. Medical Records are too private to just be sent anywhere. All the money he ran up ordering unnecessary tests just to pad his pockets should have at least gave his patients a smooth transition but I guess when his license has been suspended or revoked I shouldn’t expect any professionalism.

Dr. Unger has and still is my Dr. He takes care of his patients like he is suppose to. If you fail your drug test, that's on you. He does his job and NO he has not lost his license in other state's. Don't make threats and close down a person's business. All of his staff has been relieved of their job's as well.

Going to miss you!!!
I just want to say that what happened with Dr Julian Unger Sargon was devastating but for all you people who do not know really on what happened please don't be mean. I have seen him for as long as I can remember yes we bumped heads here and there but he was still a great doctor. I do know a little bit of what happened and there's so many of you that are angry and I understand because we're all left to find a new pain clinics to continue our medicines because I am also one of them. But I would not change it for the world I would stay with him no matter what but I don't have that choice now. So on that note I'm sorry to the people who you think he treated you poorly and badly I do apologize for you and feel for you I on the other hand to me he was a great doctor he understood and I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Thank you Dr Unger for everything you've done for me I'm sad that I won't be seeing you anymore it's a shame but you're still good in my books God bless you.

Patient since Feb 2023
I have seen Dr Unger for almost a year now for my back and my neck pain. I would like to say he has been the best help to me out of all my many doctors that I've been to. I enjoy the visits and hearing the stories from him from his military background. Some say he is tough but with things these days you need to be. He does talk quite fast but just means you need to pay attention more. Talking to many other people in the waiting room they quite enjoy and love Dr Unger also. From them also he is very strict there is no three strikes you're out, If you are receiving pain medication from him. Many other doctors in the field no of and respect Dr Unger. Since there is so much abuse of pills going on in the world you need to be strict. He helped me set my mind and gave me the push that I needed to get on to disability. Even though at times it's still hard to adjust, since it seems now I have more issues that arise. I would recommend him to anyone if they are needing help.

Dr Unger is a very caring man, he sees you as a person in whole, not just as a patient. You can see his mind working through what you are telling him and his mind is putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Dr Unger saw us as a Neurology patient . My son was having seizures which is very scary! Dr Unger makes us feel secure in that he will do everything he can to help us with my son's seizures
