It would be IMPOSSIBLE to find a better, more competent and effective physician in orthopedics than Dr. Unger. His assessment, plan of treatment and prognosis were all spot on dramatically improving and restoring the quality of my life to that it was before I sought his treatment.
We just visited Dr Stuart Melvin as Dr Unger has retired in Dec 2024
Knowledgeable, compassionate and personable. I couldn’t have asked for better care.
Great doctor who care about his patient. He listens to my concerns very carefully.
