Patient Comments
Dr Uknis is top shelf and knows her area of study
Caring
I'm very satisfied with my Dr she is [...] professional
Dr. Uknis is a kind and caring person. She asks specific questions, not just "how are you feeling", which I appreciate. She takes the time to ensure you feel that your questions and concerns have been addressed.
Dr. Uknis is a real gem! She is extremely personable and easy to communicate with. She is also extremely practical. I have a very complicated cancer/medical history and her approach has always been a conservative one - one that fits my lifestyle and life expectancy. I would recommend her very highly.
