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.

Don't trust them
When I learned Dr. Watt had not told me all the facts, I called Dr. Bunckie to get a second opinion or more information. He refused to return my call even though the secretary had assured me he would. My assessment- the students' chance to practice microscopic surgery comes BEFORE WHAT is BEST for the PATIENT.

Dr. Bunke has treated me and my husband. Recently I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand. A month later I couldn’t see the scar! He is really great!

Hi my name is Shenandoah Nugent. I am asking a question if you practice in southern California Orange county during the 90s. If so I might be one of you patients. One of the surgeries were performed at Western Medical Santa Ana . I am looking for a referring Hand doctor to look at how the left hand is operating. If you are the same Dr Buncke please call or e-mail. back. Thank you 714 846-7496 ddooaahh@gmail.com

I can't speak highly enough about this Doctor's knowledge, skills and kindness. He is always willing to spend whatever time is necessary with the patient even when trying to solve complex medical problems. He is an excellent surgeon.
