Dr. Ungacta did my carpal tunnel surgery a couple of years ago and I had good results. He impressed me even more for his easy, humble manner with his patients. I am hoping he will do my knee surgery too.

It would have been nice to receive a return phone call after I had a broken foot and was referred to him. Still no return call 3 days later.

I appreciated Dr. Ungacta's time and attention. My mother is a patient and I always feel she is very well taken care of. He is very patient and takes the time to explain everything to us in detail. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family

Dr. Ungacta is the nicest Dr. I have ever been to. He takes time with you during your office visit, never rushing, and encourages you to ask questions to make sure you understand the prognosis. I travel out of my way to see him due to this.
