Patient Comments
Dr. Uknis is very caring and shows great concern for me and my welfare
Dr Uknis is one if the best Drs. She and […] listen carefully, understand my POV, provide me options with explanations. They are thorough kind and considerate with a human touch.
Dr. Uknis addresses all my concerns and I am never rushed.
Dr Uknis takes the time to listen to my concerns. I never feel rushed. I'm sure she reads my chart before I am seen, but it's like she remembers everything about me even though she hasn't seen me in 6 months to a year. She takes the time to make sure I understand and agree with the treatment plan.
Dr Uknis was very professional and explained everything to me
