Michael J. Unger, MD

I have been a doctor hopper for many years. I always seemed to find the symptom treaters, the drug pushers, the doctors who didn’t care, or were not competent enough to find the actual problem. I kept hoping I would eventually come across a doctor like Dr. Unger. I can finally say I have found my forever doctor. He is extremely thorough, actually listens, asks additional probing questions, and takes the proper steps to actually find the problem. The communication is great. You will always get information in the mail, describing what was found, if anything, copies of all the test results, and a ton of information about any condition found, and the next steps to take. He is also very down-​to-​earth, has a sense of humor, and a good bedside manner.

Dr. Unger is a competent and friendly physician. He is extremely thorough and he works feverishly to get to the root cause of a health condition. What I like most is his willingness to work with you as a partner in your own care. Symptom management is bad medicine in my mind. I know Dr. Unger doesn’t agree with me, but he is willing to work with me as I do the personal work to address my health issues (mostly weight loss). I will continue to see Dr. Unger for routine, chronic and acute care. I’ve been working with Dr. Unger for about 12 months.

I want a doctor who…
–Is Board Certified
–Has a good bedside manner
–Is sold-​your-​soul-​to-​Beelzebub smart
–Has great covering partners
–Admits to good hospitals
–Can do minor procedures
–Stays current on medical standards of care
–Has a charitable sensibility
–Can recite ‘Buckaroo Banzai’ from memory
If you want any or all of these things, see Unger. Young, smart, cool Internist. As a bonus, he’s also a Pediatrician, although he doesn’t see kids now since his partners aren’t double-​boarded like him.
