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.

Felt rushed
I felt rushed. He came and review the xray and didn’t explain me properly what is the issue. He stand up and start going to door when i am asking question. he got irritated when i ask question and since we out of door, he just wanted to get away and get it done.

Bad experience
I was NOT satisfied with the care that I received from Dr. Dunaway. I felt rushed. After every single question that we asked, the dr acted as though he was in a rush to get out of the room and gave me the impression that he was irritated that we had addl questions & to make matters worse, the prescription that he was supposed to send to my pharmacy was never sent and it’s the weekend. By not submitting the prescription really solidified the feeling & experience that I was having.

Was experiencing pain in the knee. Dr. Dunaway diagnosed the problem, clearly explained the problem and how to correct it. I would strongly recommend him if one needs an orthopedic.

Saw Dr. Dunaway for knee pain. He was very professional and thorough, spent plenty of time with me, listened to and addressed my questions, and recommended a conservative treatment protocol (which I appreciated). Great experience.

I was referred to see a hip specialist at the recommendation of my physical therapist. He was the first guy I could get an appointment with--I know why now--and his exam lasted a total of 30 seconds before he told me to go to the spine center for a disc/sciatica. I have no numbness, tingling, or shooting pain, which I asked him about. He said "that's my opinion" and then very abruptly left the room and had his nurse come in with a referral.
