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 am a retired RN and have known lots of doctors along the way and I must say that Dr. Kundhardt demonstrates a very sincere interest in his patients. Nothing about him is fake. He speaks human speak, very positive in his approach to one's concerns. He is not dictatorial in any way with his treatments but listens to one's wishes. He is a doctor who walks the walk and talks the talk, he does for himself what he recommends for youl I'm so grateful to have him for my cardiologist.

I have only ever heard wonderful things about Dr. Kuhnhardt and I have really been looking forward to becoming a patient of his. If the office staff could just get it together it would be a great thing. Unfortunately it does not matter how good the doctor is if the staff doesn’t know what they’re doing and cause you grief. It is a sad thing to think that you come out of the hospital after having a heart attack and the very soonest anyone can see you to monitor your condition or answer questions about your medication etc. is six weeks down the road. There’s no excuse for that. The only other option is to go back into the emergency room and that is a waste of time because after being there for four days the only thing they did was tell me to get a cardiologist!

My husband has been a patient of Dr. Kunhardt's for over 15 years. A friend suggested him based on their own positive experiences and Dr. Kunhardt has turned out to be the kind of doctor people dream of having care for them. He is empathetic, proactive, professional, extremely knowledgeable and able to communicate to patients in a way that educates. He truly cares not just about your heart health but your overall well being. When I wanted to have a cardiac evaluation recently, I went to Dr. Kunhardt. I wanted someone who would perform the necessary tests so I could have a care plan that I could work with to improve my health. I was not disappointed. What a wonderful doctor and human being. I wish I could find a primary care physician who is half as good.

You can tell when he talks that he is extremely knowledgeable. He is upbeat and encourages his patients to act in their best interest. He is personable and takes a genuine interest in his patients. The only downside is that the man is so busy that there is a long wait to see him.
