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.

Never. This is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my 69 years on this earth. His bedside manor ranks an "F". No follow up, just does not care. He violates the hypocritic oath.

Having a dr appt in 4 days, but being in incredible pain so you make an appt with a different doctor who had an opening apparently means you're seeking drugs. It wouldnt have been hard to look or run a quick test to see what could be done in order not to wait 4 days. Dr. Degunther HUMILIATED and DEMEANED and in no way tried to figure out a solution without pain meds. I assure you...the person needing this help would have let him cut her open at that point. She needed some help. All he did was think he was God, said several nasty things about seeking drugs, and walked out, and made $40+what insurance will pay while doing it. Dr. Degunther needs to come down off his high horse and learn the difference between someone in real pain, and someone acting as if they know what real pain feels like.

Do not use or refer patients to this doctor. In our case, he refused treatment until being reminded of the hypocratic oath. Then complained to other physicians who put hear say information in the permanent patient record read by unbiased third parties such as insurance companies or Medicare. If used, please request copies of permanent medical file and all notes.
