Dr. Uknis is fantastic.
I did not feel rushed. I felt listened to.
first time seeing Dr Uknis she was very helpful, ordered xrays & blood she is very very good
Not satisfied with visit. Dr. never checked for swelling of legs & feet and half-checked my breathing.
Amazing experience. So happy to have found Dr. Uknis.
Everything is very good.
Great doctor - good office and staff.
Dr. Uknis is a great physician. I've been to so many rheumatologists and I never felt heard, understood, or cared for. Which made me find a new rheumatologist. I am so glad to have Dr. Uknis, she helped me understand my disease better and takes good care of me.
I had a very good experience, and we addressed my issues.
I saw Dr. Uknis for my issues because she was highly recommended by a friend who is a medical professional. I am very glad I did.
Very good with the dr.
[...] When I met with Dr. Uknis, she was phenomenal. She was understanding and did not question my symptoms. She ordered tests right away [...]. I feel like with Dr. Uknis, I have a full care team helping me sort out some health concerns.
[...] Dr Uknis is wonderful. She always LISTENS and I never feel rushed.
Provider seemed different and less engaged than previous visits. Anyone can have an off day. Overall things went ok and I will continue to see her for my RA needs.
Great even drained knees better than orthopedic. She is an excellent doctor/thanks.
[...] The doctor was very knowledgable and showed concern and gave me time to answer. She also moved things along as well, which was fine with me. She asked pertinent questions. [...]
