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.

Totally Satisfied
Dr. Dunn did a great job with the handling of my surgery. I found him to be very thorough, caring and to possess an earnest desire to do his very best. It was also very gratifying to have a Christian doctor, who took the time to pray with my wife and me, and was not afraid to profess his faith publicly and earnestly. Very reassuring.

Best Dr. Ever!
Dr Dunn has gone up and beyond my after care from gallbladder surgery! He is a special Godly man that I so appreciate his thoughtfulness, caring spirit and skills in the operating room. I have very little scaring from my operation. Can not recommend him enough!

After surgery care
I was left in great pain and the doctor would not prescribe pain meds and told me he was more concerned with medical board than my pain. Will not be seeing again.

I went to Dr. Dunn with a concern and he did several tests run to try and pinpont my problem. I made the mistake of not telling where in my gut I had been hurting. That was my mistake. I feel like Dr. Dunn and his staff are very accomodating and caring. I would DEFINATELY recommend Dr. Dunn to my friends and family.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This man made me extremely uncomfortable from the time I was stuffed in to a tiny waiting room with several patients waiting for 2 hours. The man was a chauvinist (with dirty fingernails), who basically called my chronic issues female “hysteria”. Despite a nurse being present, during my exam, I felt uncomfortable. After the exam, he scolded me when I asked for privacy. All of that, and then he asked if he could pray with me/for me (I didn’t have a choice). All of it felt wrong.

My husband was at Dr. Dunn's office today and when he came in the room (where my husband had waited over an hour), Dr. Dunn was NOT wearing a mask. In this time of soaring COVID numbers, that is horrifying! Plus, the second he entered the room, he started telling my husband about a duck hunting trip he went on with his brother that my husband couldn't have cared less about.

Dr. Dunn is an excellent surgeon. I had no problems whatsoever from the colon surgery he performed. And, he is a very kind and caring person, and a doctor who explains the course of treatment thoroughly.

We are so blessed to have Dr. Dunn in our lives. A doctor who puts God & his family first in his life is the kind of doctor who is truly able to minister to & care for his patients as his extended family with the help of heaven. He is the real deal, an expert in his profession & a heart of gold. He's helped my husband and I both through some very difficult surgeries & from beginning to end, he explained clearly, answered questions, helped us make clear decisions & treated us like family!

After having one surgeon in Spartanburg walk in the room and look me in the eye and respond, There's nothing I can do for you,, Dr. Dunn was a BREATH OF FRESH AIR. He treated me and my symptoms as real, not imagined. He treated the problem accordingly without being invasive with an exam. However, I wanted my feelings totally validated so I got a referral to Duke University. Upon examination by a specialist, he said, There it is, plain as day. Dr. Dunn was correct. Kudos to you, Dr. Dunn.
