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.

Outstanding Patient Service!

My current doctor, John is a very good doctor, I was sick for a month. I felt this doctor went out of his way to try to find a cure for my cold and really listened to my concerns. He is very caring and professional, and his MA is outstanding. Since I?ve been Colorado this is the best treatment I?ve had in a long time.

Dr. Kunstle quietly & quickly went thru the screens on his computer during my visit. He didn't mention a result of a test from Memorial l was informed of by email. He did explain the result when l questioned him about it. Also he didn't ask me about a wrist injury that happened in September. Nor did he reorder my prescriptions.

He didn't make eye contact, he didn't listen, he didn't wash his hands (sanitized, but we all know that isn't as effective), it was very clear he didn't care about me or what was wrong with me. He did give me a prescription for an antibiotic, which I needed, but a little respect and kindness would have been nice. Worst doctor I have seen in a LONG time.

Dr. Kunstle is competent and has been dedicated. I am unlikely to have anyone to recommend him to, and also feel like our last two appointments have been less friendly than previous visits and maybe he doesn't want to see me anymore.

Because I am not likely to recommend anyone to anyone here in Colorado Springs. I do not know anyone here that would be asking me for recommendations for medical care.

If visiting within the last 3 months includes our 1st time with Dr. Kunstle yes, because this was our 1st time visiting with him and though, "no one come close to his doctor Dr. Michael Harper" Dr. Kunstle was acceptable with my son, [omitted]

John Kunstle, supposedly a specialist in Diabetes, could use an update on current technology used in controlling diabetes. He suggests working with a different specialist for diabetes, and expects that they provide instruction that will be offered to his practice, for better control of the disease.
