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.

Dr Dunbar was amazing. She was understanding and real. I wish all doctors were as wonderful as she is.

Dr. Dunbar is a great listener and did not rush me through. She asked lots of questions that were helpful in assessing my knee pain. She assured me of the good news ( what was not wrong) and made a clear plan to get a firm diagnosis. She knew about approximate costs to expect and was sensitive to my out of pocket expenses. She made clear parameters re exercises I need to avoid and ones that would be safe for now. I believe I am in the best care with Dr. Dunbar

I had a meniscus tear surgery with Dr. Dunbar. My knee feels worse after - took so long to heal. And it turns out there is still some tear there.

I was an ER nurse at sequoia and watched Dr. Dunnar's work for years I asked her many questions in passing. She eventually performed surgery on my knees and shoulders due to work and sports related injuries. She is meticulous, skilled, and a very bright young lady. I would not go to anubody else ulness she suggested so.
