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.
I came to Dr. Ungar after a car accident with multiple vertebral fractures. His team performed an emergency spinal fusion that saved me from paralysis. What impressed me most was how he personally supervised my rehabilitation program and remembered every detail of my case at each follow-up.
As a medical student observing surgeries, I've never seen anyone handle a complex meningioma resection with such elegant technique. Dr. Ungar's surgical skill is matched only by his humility - he actually asked for my opinion during the case review afterward.
My routine follow-up for a previous aneurysm clipping turned into an emergency when Dr. Ungar noticed subtle changes in my scans. He mobilized his team immediately for a preventive procedure that likely saved my life. His vigilance is extraordinary.
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. His bedside manner was exceptional - he explained everything in simple terms and even called us at home to check on his progress.
