When our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a rare brain cyst, we were terrified. Dr. Ungar not only successfully removed it through an endoscopic procedure but somehow made our child laugh during pre-op. Six months later, she's back to gymnastics and we have our happy girl back.

My 82-year-old father had a spinal stenosis that left him barely able to walk. Dr. Ungar performed a minimally invasive decompression with such precision that Dad was walking the next day.
