Patient Comments
Excellent professional handling
Dr. Uknis is a very good doctor and I'm proud to be one of her patients.
Extremely impressed with Dr. Uknis She listened to my concerns and symptoms and developed a good plan of care. I would highly recommend her to others.
I actually just recommended this physician to a friend of mine. She was so informative and knowledgeable re: my rather complex medical situation -great educator! I have seen another rheumatologist who never studied my bloodwork like she did to come up with possible answers!
I didn't have any issues. I was there because, in order to keep refilling my prescription, Dr. Uknis wanted to see me.
