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.

Short but sweet
I have only seen this doctor for fluoroscopy guided injections and he is efficient and adept. Never felt a thing!!

Lower Back Cortisone Shot
I have had several low back cortisone shots performed by Dr Unger. Each procedure was fast and very effective. I usually was done before my appointment start time - that is efficient!!!

Very nice & professional doctor & staff!
Dr. Unger was very professional and did a great job with my hip injection. The staff is upbeat and on point with getting everyone taken care in a timely manner. They moved a little too quickly for my taste which made me nervous and stressed out, as we are dealing with pinpointing pain care and needles, but everything went fine. I might go elsewhere just for a calmer experience, but Dr. Unger and the staff did great with the tight scheduling.
