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.

He is the very best. He is brilliant and kind.
The doctor's kindness, sweetness and brilliance and knowledge. He is what all doctors should aspire to! I am so glad that I 'found' him.

Dr. Unger has unfailingly proved to be an extraordinary diagnostician. He has my complete trust for all medical matters which concern me whether his specific "specialty" (cardiology) or just about anything else.

Dr. Unger has been my internist for 40 years. He is also a cardiologist. He is very smart, kind and funny. I have confidence in his judgment and knowledge of medicine. He always takes his time to explain his treatment and answer my questions.
