Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Dunal is More Than Medicine
Dr. Dunal has been my primary care physician for over 10 years. Not only does she make herself available to her patients 24/7, but she is the most caring physician in any specialty I have ever worked with. Dr. Dunal thinks outside the box, she explores every possible avenue, and always collaborates with other specialty physicians where necessary. Dr. Dunal stays up to date with the latest medical research and has the passion to always learn and grow her knowledge to provide the best possible medical care. We are so incredibly lucky to have Dr. Dunal as our doctor and don't think a better internist exists. Highly recommend.

Excellent diagnostician, extremely attentive
I want my primary care physician to be a thorough examiner and an excellent diagnostician. I want my doctor to take as much time as necessary to gather info and provide feedback. And I want the relationship to be caring and personal. Cathie Dunal provides all that and more.

I've been a patient of Dr. Dunal for years. The way she approaches patient care is above and beyond what is expected. Your first appointment is 90 minutes and often sick visits are 30 minutes. Dr. Dunal is very thorough and holistic. She's not just looking for current health problems but is thinking 10, 20, or even 30 years down the road to prevent medical conditions that often occur in old age. She gives concrete advice before little things become big things. Dr. Dunal is a partner in my healthcare and I am living a better life because of her!

I have dealt with hundreds of physicians in my line of work, and I have never come across a more knowledgable, and genuinely caring doctor. She is incredibly brilliant and goes way out of her way to ensure your health is her first priority. I honestly have never come across a physician that not just listens, but understands with compassion, to provide you a solution. She is a true integrative doctor that will treat your individual issues with a customized approach, not a one size fits all.

I have been a patient of Dr. Dunal for 10 years. I am so grateful for her medical expertise and care. She has diagnosed problems that other physicians could not solve. I also appreciate her overall approach. Dr. Dunal is a thorough examiner and a sensitive listener. She covers all details which are essential for making a diagnosis and healing. Dr. Dunal treats me with compassion, respect and dignity, as does her welcoming staff. Dr. Dunal is truly authentic and an exemplary physician.

I've known dr Dunal since 2013. Each time I have gone to her it was because I was experiencing a myriad of symptoms. She spends at least 60 mins with each patient and listens to what events/stresses are taking place in your life. Based on all of the emotional and physical details she orders non invasive tests to get a better picture (blood, saliva, genetics). I love the way she works! If you want to take a pill and cover up the symptoms...she's not a fit for you! she finds the root issue
