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.

Have had two different surgeries with Dr. Ungata. He and his staff are very professional and informative. He gives you information so you can make an informed decision.

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.
