UofU Patient April 29, 2013
As always both Dr. Kunkel and the nurse were marvelous, concerned and friendly
UofU Patient April 22, 2013Excellent.
UofU Patient April 16, 2013Dr Kunkel is very nice and seemed as if he enjoyed his job. He answered my questions and talked to me gas if we had known each other a long time. The interesting part is that this was the first time I had been seen by him.
UofU Patient April 08, 2013Dr. Kunkell was ill making a thorough exam impossible, as he didn't want to spread hs illness. he also had a visiting medical student observing which also was a bit of a deterent. I am sure my next scheduled appt. will be up to par. it wasn't a bad appointment just average as far as my experience allows observation.
UofU Patient March 30, 2013The ultra sound computer had problems. Very slow - even thought doc would have to get another one from up stairs. Finally, it all turned out okay.
UofU Patient March 12, 2013Dr. Kunkle is the BEST doctor!
UofU Patient March 06, 2013I always have an great experience with Dr Kunkel. He is extremely knowledgable, patient and caring. I have full confidence in Dr Kunkel and would/do highly recommend him to others.
UofU Patient January 29, 2013Excellent attention from Fellow and Dr Kunkel
UofU Patient January 25, 2013I continue to recommend Dr. Kunkel to others.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013Dr. Kunkel is excellent.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013Dr Kunkel is the best. I appreciate him so much.
UofU Patient January 06, 2013Definitely would like to keep this provider and would recommend him to anyone without reservation.
UofU Patient December 31, 2012Dr. Kunkel was outstanding taking all the time needed (even after his regular patients that late aft. to help me and give me treatment.)
UofU Patient December 23, 2012Dr. Kunkel is the epitome of what a patient hopes to find in a caregiver. He does not mention time, he listens and answers questions, he stays current with my treatment. He manages to stay on schedule without ever giving the feeling that the time with him is rushed. He always treats me with respect. I rate him highly as a physician and as a person. He is an overall good guy!!
UofU Patient December 21, 2012It's always nice to see Dr. Kunkel. He doesn't make you feel rushed-always takes his time with me. Very informative and patient. I feel lucky to have him helping me.
UofU Patient December 11, 2012No follow up. Doctor was very good at looking for a problem but with me none was found, extra testing was done but no follow up as to what I should do next.
UofU Patient November 20, 2012The only complaint I have is that I was told they would call me with the results of my labs and x-rays within a week and I have yet to receive a call. I will be calling in tomorrow.
UofU Patient October 19, 2012Dr. Kunkel is always very professional and helpful.
UofU Patient September 24, 2012Dr. Kunkel is a great doctor and always shows concern and genuine care. I have seen enough doctors to know the difference between doctors going through the motions and those who truly caring about their patients. Dr. Kunkel cares - or is a very good actor.
UofU Patient September 22, 2012Dr. Kunkel is an extraordinary physician and care provider. I had a friend bring me to one of my appointments. She kept commenting during and after about what a wonderful doctor he is and how much care and concern he showed for my well-being. I had had two mini-strokes (TIAs) which are not his area of care for me; nevertheless, he took time to get the whole picture and even sent e-mails to other of my caregivers who had left me with questions. He talks with my internist and other doctors to be sure that all are working in tandem concerning my health. He is a great doctor; all should follow his example.
UofU Patient September 18, 2012Very kind and considerate, always takes his time with me and doesn't make me feel he is rushed.
UofU Patient September 17, 2012Dr kunkel was great!

UofU Patient July 23, 2012Dr. Gary Kunkel was and is a great doc. He was very helpful speaking about specific concerns we had about medications. He explained to my husband and myself and listened to all questions and problems addressed with knowledge and no concern for his tim
UofU Patient July 20, 2012Dr. Kunkel is always excellent in every way during my visits. He is currently the best specialist that I see.
UofU Patient July 19, 2012Dr. Kunkel is an excellent doctor.
UofU Patient July 16, 2012Dr. Krunkel provided a direct phone number for me to bypass the Nurses Station if I needed to call if another flair up.
UofU Patient July 03, 2012I have been a patient of Dr. Kunkel for over 9 years. He is a wonderful doctor and I have recommended him to my family and friends. He was even responsible for saving my grandpa's life a couple of years ago. I am very happy with my doctor. I trust him com
UofU Patient July 02, 2012I especially like the ability I have to communicate between visits with Dr. Kunkel via email and the My Chart website. Thanks again.
UofU Patient June 22, 2012Great!!!
UofU Patient May 08, 2012Dr. Kunkel has always been very friendly, thoughtful in dealing with me, and I trust him implicitly.
UofU Patient May 03, 2012Dr Kunkle Rocks! He is always willing to take as much time as needed to work through any issues and is always a joy to meet with.
UofU Patient April 19, 2012Hate that due to my lack of available transportation I have to take his last appt. of the day, cause he's always in a rush and we don't really have time to pursue issues we probably should.
UofU Patient March 15, 2012Waiting for an hour was long but after meeting Dr. Kunkle I felt very confident in his ability to figure out my problem and treat it. He was so nice and seemed very concerned and willing to help.
UofU Patient March 13, 2012Love Dr. Kunkel! Always concerned, expertly informed and always makes me feel we are working as a team in treating my illness.
UofU Patient February 15, 2012My provider was great.
UofU Patient February 14, 2012I am very happy with Dr. Kunkel, I like that I can contact him and he returns my calls, he always listens to what I have to say, couldn't be happier.
UofU Patient February 09, 2012Gary is Great! He always takes the time to listen to my concerns and we always talk through our plans.
UofU Patient February 06, 2012I would like more time with my doctor, especially since we only see each other twice a year typically. It seems to be a fast and sometimes rushed process, which is probably due to the amount of other patients scheduled. But when my condition is particularly bad and I really need help, I wish we had more time to really sit, collect our thoughts and come up with something that would be suitable for MY needs, rather than a generic treatment plan.
UofU Patient January 26, 2012I have been seeing Dr. Kunkel for years now--he continues to thoroughly evaluate me each and every time that I come to clinic. He always does a very thorough exam. I have the best doctor ever, and know that I have the best care that I could receive. He explains things very well. He always gives me the time that I need. I know that I can count on him to provide me with the care that I need to continue on in my life. I feel that he has my best interest at heart!
UofU Patient January 09, 2012Dr Kunkle is wonderful. He shows interest and understanding when I come in. He is good to look back and see where we were last time or other prior visits. I get concerned about meds at my age and he is very reassuring. I appreciate his care and feel very confident he is recommending the right thing.
