I've known Dr. Dunlap for 15 years and now I live in California and can't find a doctor that even comes close to Dr Dunlap. I really miss him. Not many doctors really listen to you like he does and he never hurries you. There should be more like him !

I would highly recommend this Dr. He spends time with the patient, explains his medical philosophy, makes a plan to monitor patient care, is not in a hurry to get out the door during your appointment. Overall he is very caring and leaves you feeling confident about your health care. You can send an eM to him online at the Carson Medical Group and he will respond quickly to your messages.

Dr. Dunlap is an awesome doctor! Every experience I've had with him has been very pleasant. He is a true professional. He treated me, following a pulmonary embolism (blood clot,) and he performed a vasectomy on me, which was virtually painless. a little "pinch," was all I felt. I appreciate his kind character. He is a well of knowledge, and I have been his patient for almost four years now. I highly recommend him. He is a five star Doctor in my book!

Dunlap is a caring and intuitive doctor that makes you feel comfortable and feel that he is working with you on your health issues.But his staff (recently late '09-now) is terrible to deal with, his nurse is surly and at times rude.
