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 did excellent work.
Thorough , caring and a good communicator.

I thought he was through, kind, easy to talk to, and took good care of my problem. If I experience more trouble with my trigger finger, I will be sure to see him again.

Saw Dr Dunbar for the first time, was not Impressed at all. He did not listen nor did he read my records. His charting on my visit is incorrect. He recommended medication that is contraindicated due to other medical conditions. I am not happy with this visit!

I saw Dr. Dunbar for a consult and was pleased with both him and his office staff. I was contacted prior to my appointment to get me in for an x-ray immediately before the appointment so no time is wasted. I was early for my appointment and was seen early, pretty much unheard of. I saw an orthopedic surgery resident Dr. Cignetti prior to meeting with Dr. Dunbar. Dr. Cignetti was very thorough and kind. Dr. Dunbar met with me soon afterward. He was straight forward in his presentation of options and generally helpful. I don't need surgery, so I won't be able to comment on his abilities there, but I appreciated meeting with him and getting some perspective on my hand injury.
