PATIENT COMMENTS

Learn about our survey

10/5/2022 I recently had an X-ray done on my knee and have not heard any result over the past 2 weeks. My knee is not any better. He told me he would recommend PT but haven’t heard anything. I have also expressed my interest in invasive weight loss like lap band but he seems very against it. Has always been a nice guy.
9/26/2022 He listens to my complains and helps to the best of his ability. He shows compassion for his patients.
8/29/2022 Doesn’t appear concerned about me
10/28/2022 Does (did not) respond to refill request, the pharmacy stayed on top of that. At least three times this year Optum has billed me before filing insurance claim, the latest $375, instead of $20.
7/7/2022 Already explained
9/13/2022 hate this 0-10 rating system.
10/14/2022 Dr. Kunstle is very pleasant, receptive, listens, and gentle in recommendations.
9/7/2022 He’s great doctor. Friendly. Concerned.
8/26/2022 He is a satisfactory provider.
7/14/2022 It was our first meeting and he gave me all the time I wanted.
8/11/2022 I never recommend a Dr to anyone.
9/13/2022 First visit. He seemed interested in my health
9/6/2022 Dr. Kunstle is a good doctor, very knowledgeable, but too quiet. He does not spend the time to explain things to me. I think Optum probably limits his visits with patient, so it probably is not his fault.
8/26/2022 Again, well treated and informed.
9/1/2022 Good Dr
7/8/2022 He was thorough and also made me feel like he had all the time in the world for me.
9/13/2022 Every time I have seen John Kunstle he has treated me and sets a follow up visit in fitting amount of time. If still not satisfied with my condition he refers me to a specialist.
7/7/2022 He explains things clearly and makes sure I receive the exams and needed care
7/22/2022 He’s a great doctor. Cares about me. Tries hard to keep me well.
