The level of care, concern and information given to me were all stellar.

Although the explanations were good, sometimes I had to ask for clarification when the provider was speaking too quickly or with terminology unfamiliar to me.

Dr Tunitsky told me not to take notes on my visit, that she would give me her notes, and we both forgot before I left. I checked mychart in case they were there, but not. Left message on her phone that I needed them. They are to call me.... not yet received. Very easy to talk with and understand. Also she was to call in a prescription which hadn't happened when I checked.

5 out of 5 stars

Great experience overall. Dr. Tunitsky sat with me and explained things thoroughly. It was nice to feel like a patient and not just a number.

Dr. Tunitsky loves what she does, and that’s evident in how she conducts herself during the initial visit, subsequent visits and even before and after surgery. She is very friendly and is able to easily explain your diagnosis using pamphlets with visual, and easy to understand pictures. There is never a wait to see her and all of the staff at the office are super friendly!
