Both Dr. Dunlap and the Fellow took time to assess the problem and explain the diagnosis. I wish I had thought to ask more questions about the mechanics of the problem, but I think that the PT to whom I've been referred will be able to explain that.

These guys were amazing and I only wish I could remember the name of the PA who did my exam. Professional, efficient, caring, willing to spend all the time with me I needed to understand the situation. The doc came in toward the end and reviewed all and was so empathetic and professional at the same time. I had put off for months having this shoulder seen because 1)I couldn't get into my PCP in any reasonable amount of time and 2)I was sure I'd have to see PCP, await (months) to see an ortho referral, get outpatient X-rays and US and CT scans which would first have to be approved by insurance... This place got me in, did expert exam, US and XRays in one visit, and helped me make a plan. I was so entirely satisfied. Every person was friendly and efficient and I did not have to wait. I only wish I had thought of Sports Medicine as an option sooner.

Dr Dunlap was wonderful! He gave me a completely painless injection in my shoulder and explained everything thoroughly with exercises to do at home. I'm absolutely pain free at this time. So fortunate that he comes to my PCPs office. Got an appointment so quickly! Thank you so much.

Dr Dunlap was very helpful and they gave me a shot for pain and it was the first time in a month I got a bit of relief for my back. I'm praying I can get the ultrasound guided shot in my back to get me back to work

Dr. Dunlap did a very good job examining me and giving me an idea of what my problem was. However, after his appointment with him, I did have trouble getting a prompt PT appointment. And I'm still waiting for a call back from the orthopedic office to try to get an earlier PT appointment.

I'm very happy my appointment turned very well. Dr. Dunlap is a very good surgeon and a very good patient. You know, the way he treats us, very caring. And I want to thank him for that, and I hope I'm not losing him one day. Thank you. Have a good day. God bless.

I was in so much pain....joint pain is new to me...it hurt so much that I was in tears. I felt that the doctor was rather condescending. I don't like the way he talked to me. I am grateful for the cortisone shot however and I started PT last night.

This is the second time I see Dr. Dunlap for injuries where I've needed cortisone shots. I am petrified of needles. But he walked me through it so well. Very, very caring, very gentle, very knowledgeable. He's very soft spoken, so that makes you feel relaxed also. He was wonderful. I hated the cortisone shot and it really hurt. But if I had to go back to see anybody, it certainly would be him. He did a great job. Thank you, Dr. Dunlap.
