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.

Highly recommend..

Dr Unger and staff at Mt Sinai Hospital MB
Dr Unger expertly performed my hernia surgery with superb results. The Mt Sinai Hospital staff took excellent care of my surgery preparation from beginning to post operation. The staff made extra effort to ensure my departure from the hospital was smooth and all was in order. I felt confident and in good hands all the way through the process. Dr Unger displayed both high professional manner and a caring attitude. I am grateful for such a fine team of health providers._

Hernia Surgery
Dr Unger did a terrific job in dealing with my Hernia Surgery! What was a routine procedure turned out to be much more evasive after Dr. Unger opened me up to find that my intestine was rapped around the break. His ability to deal with this untimely incident is why l (and family members in the past) chose him for the surgery.

Simply the BEST!
I went to see Dr. Unger for a surgical procedure and was beyond impressed not only by his ability but also by how he runs his office. Perfectly! And most important of all was his level of care. 2 days after my surgery I was feeling unwell. Without knowing whether it was even related to my surgery, Dr. Unger insisted--even as it was evening time, hat he would meet me at the emergency room to be sure I was properly cared for. BRAVO!

I would recommend Dr. Unger to everyone!
Dr. Unger performed my surgery and I went right to him for something else he is in the process of diagnosing. He is one of the most knowledgeable surgeons at Mt Sinai. He is not an alarmest, he is very calm, he listens and is very thorough. They broke the mold with Dr. Unger! He's one of the "old school" doctors who doesn't rush you and gets things done right away! I appreciate the office staff as they are so efficient and fast! They have all been there a long time, which says something about Dr. Unger's office!

Experienced and Proficient Surgeon
In my estimation Dr. Unger is a very experienced and proficient surgeon. He explained procedures and possibilities before and after my surgery, and although it might have been a challenging task, it was performed and has healed very well. I am grateful to have had him as my surgeon.

Competente mais com pouco tempo.
I waited for 2 hours (not the dr’s fault, he was called at the ER). Not a word of apology. The dr was very curt and dispatched me in 5’ - but it was a clear and reassuring diagnosis so no complaint.
