Dr. Unterhalter takes excellent care of me. I trust him completely. I am a relatively new patient of his but will continue to see him until the day he retires. That is how good he is. Sheryl is a gem of an assistant. Clean offices, plenty of time spent with the patient and good follow up.

This is a man in a million. A caring human being. Him and his assistant Sheryl are like having Concierge Care.

Courteous, professional and extremely knowledgeable. His office is pleasant, his assistant lovely and polite. I would recommend this physician highly. He spent plenty of time with me as a new patient and I will be going back. An excellent internist.

This is a doctor like they used to make them, thorough and caring. His assistant is also one of the nicest in the world. I never mind a little wait as I know the doctor takes his time when I need it and the atmosphere is so pleasant that you feel like 'family'. When I need to see him, he's there.

Dr. Unterhalter has been my doctor for over 12 years. He is calm and collected, and he is really there for you. You dont find these kinds of doctors anymore. He is very patient and he does listen to your problems; never jumps to conclusions without evaluating the situation closely. And in his office, you are always important; no matter how little the problem may seem he will give it his utmost attention. I love the fact the he cares so much for his patients. You can definitely trust him and his judgments. And Sheryl-his assistant is also very kind and wonderful; thats why they have been working together for such a long time. They are a great team!
