Dr Kunz was very knowledgeable & professional which made this appointment not only educational but fulfilling. Additionally, medical assistant Koreen was so very nice & thorough, I truly appreciated her assistance!

Dr. Kunz was very efficient with his diagnosis -- he asked helpful questions and did a thorough examination, so he was able to rule out some concerns that I had and zeroed in on what he expected was the problem. Then, after an equally efficient x-ray session, he almost immediately returned to the exam room with the x-ray results and was able to confirm his hypothesis.He then explained two potential options for treatment, explained the pluses and minuses of each path, and made his recommendation -- a cortisone shot, rather than an MRI that might offer some additional diagnostic information, but likely would indicate that a cortisone shot would still be the best first step, adding that if the cortisone shot didn't provide relief, an MRI would be the follow-up step. He then explained what would happen with the shot -- ultrasound-guided, where the point of insertion would be for the needle, level of pain to expect, etc. -- and he administered the shot expertly.I was in and out within and hour, and the pain in my foot dissipated quickly.All in all, as I said above, it was a world-class experience.

Thanks Dr Kunz for answering my worst fear. I knew the Synovial Ca dx was extremely unlikely (2%) but I try not to diagnose myself (educate yes) but diagnose No! Take care everyone! Enjoy the cool while we have it!!

Dr. Kunz always has a smile on his face. He makes sure I am comfortable and okay during the cortisone shots procedure. He took the time to answer the questions I had about my knees. I always feel at ease when visiting Dr. Kunz.
