Dr Ryan Unger was my primary care doctor for many years in Knoxville. Always on spot with my care and I have many issues. Would have continued in his care if he had not moved practices. Good man/doctor

Overall Rating: 5.0 2022-02-07

I just love Dr. Unger as my primary physician.  He’s been helping me with my chronic health issues for almost 2 years.  He truly cares about his patients and he goes all out to get you the best care possible.  
Thanks to him and Dr. Bowlin, I can finally walk again and have a much better quality of life.  I am very thankful and blessed to have him as my physician.  I would recommend him to anyone, and I do frequently.
