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, Compassionate, Skilled Surgeon
I was taken to Central Baptist with an acute gallbladder infection and everyone was so incredible. I met Dr. Gunst, who told me we would do an MRI and after the results he explained they would need to remove a lodged stone and then the next day take the gallbladder. His work was amazing. I felt great within hours after the procedure and after a week of resting, I feel ready for the world. Dr. Gunst was kind and thorough. Explained in my speak what would happen and followed up with two more visits before I left. I am so grateful that by divine providence I got Dr. Gunst for this unexpected hospital experience. Thank you, Dr., for your care and expertise. I would highly recommend Dr. Mark Gunst.

Dr. Gunst was recommended by my family physician to do my hernia repair. He was warm and friendly. He answered every question and very informative. I will recommend him to my family and friends.

Dr. Gunst was wonderful! From the moment he walked into the emergency room to tell my husband and I that he needed to do emergency surgery on my husband, until the time after he did the third surgery, he was very informative, sympathetic, and caring. We could not have asked for a better doctor to be in that emergency room that day. Thank you Dr Gunst!

Mr. Gunst and I had the displeasure of speaking for approximately 3.5 minutes. I take a lot of care in selecting good doctors, and Mr. Gunst isn't even a doctor in my eyes. He insulted me, and belittled me before I had to tell him to get out of my room. He was supposed to perform my cholysysectomy. Thank God I found Dr. Watt. He is THE BEST and works in the same clinic. Mr. Gunst BILLED ME $207 for insulting me and telling me I was stupid to be considering other options. Avoid at all costs!!!!
