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.

Terrible. This guy couldn't have been more distant or unconcerned about my medical issue. Barely let me tell him what was going on before he announced a diagnosis, which turned out completely wrong. Luckily, I found a Dr. in CDA who properly diagnosed my issue. Surgery and all is well now. Not sure what's up with this guy, but he and the entire office just seem more interested in the insurance money mill. Cannot recommend.

I’ve never experienced such a bad doctor in my entire life. The 5 star reviews here are highly questionsble. Dunn and his junior partner are more interested in assemble line appointments and not at all concerned about follow up or quality patient care. I got a second opinion from a dr in cda which saved my life. Even doctors in cda know what a quack Dumn is.

My entire Family - 30 years with Dr. Scott Dunn
For over 30 years my wife (and son) and I have knocked on Dr. Dunn's door for the full spectrum of medical issues. He delivered my son, 22 years ago. I noticed that Dr. Dunn's rating on the site is 2.9 out of 5. I found this hard swallow - I do not understand. The only thing I can attribute that to is the likelihood that the very few that have a negative experience are the folks that are most likely to offer up a review. As I noted above, we have been using FHC for 30 years and, until now, I never even thought is submitting a review. But when I saw the 2.9 rating I felt compelled to say something. My wife, my son, and I give Dr. Dunn a 5.....and we have 30 years of experience with him - from back at his old office on Superior to his current office neighboring Bonner General.

I don't know who is writing these reviews, but there's not a thread of truth in it. Dr. Dunn is one of the best doctors in our area. Have known him for years, and has always taken my health issues seriously.

Didn't feel like Dr. Dunn was proactive about my health. I found better care from a nutritionist that was able to diagnose the cause of my health issues in 1 week that Dr. Dunn was not able to do in 5 years.

Expected more from a Doctor! in Ssndpoint, ID – Sep 07, 2017

If zero stars was an option that's what Dr. Dunn deserves across the board. He is more dangerous than helpful because you put your trust in him to do the right things from a medical standpoint and he falls far short of professional or skilled care. Not only does he misdiagnose, he fails to even perform simple tests to rule out more serious problems before arbitrarily "treating" elderly patients. Horrible & incompetent excuse for a physician. Stay away if you value yours or your parents lives!
