Because there is no such thing as a perfect score
4/21/2023
This was my only visit with Dr. Kunstle (my primary care doctor was not available). It was quite satisfactory.
4/8/2023
Have only been a patient for 16 months.
4/22/2023
Most of the time doctor council is very cold and does not appear to be "involved" with my case.
4/17/2023
He patient and thorough
4/27/2023
Dr. Kunste is knowledgable, competent and caring. He cares about his patients and treats me with dignity and respect.
4/30/2023
Ive seen him twice and he seems sleepy and aloof. Just not very personable. He didn’t record all of the things he told me in the after visit notes, and i rely on those to remember what i was told.
4/14/2023
John Kunstle has been an excellent doctor thus far, however, there was some kind of clerical mistake made during my last visit - and not all of my prescriptions got renewed. Now I am completely out of my medication, and have been since February. I called to straighten it out and the lady I talked to initially, Iris, was not helpful. She was abrasive and even laughed at me when I expressed my concern over the mistake.
4/12/2023
He is very thorough and cares
3/24/2023
We had a long discussion. He said he was going to refer me to a spine doctor and a neuropsychologist. When i called back to find out where i needed to go for these referrals the lady said no referrals were indicated.
4/5/2023
Dr. Kunstle is very attentive and I feel he cares about my health.
4/5/2023
At first didnt seem like a very caring dr. I had dr Duncan and Sherry Turner Lloyd. Both personal. But not after seeing this Dr. 3 4 times. More enjoyable and through

Dr Kunstle has always been direct with answers, recommends on what should be done and we move forward. I grateful for that! Best Doc Ever.
2/24/2023
Just way he is with his patients
2/15/2023
Rude and disrespectful
2/27/2023
He listens and has obviously looked at my chart before seeing me. Takes time with me and doesnt rush me out. Great follow through on requested referral
2/20/2023
Other people may like him and get along with him.
2/15/2023
Very attentive. Knows what he is talking about. Listens to me.
2/22/2023
In the past he was attentive to my medical needs.
10/5/2022
I recently had an X-ray done on my knee and have not heard any result over the past 2 weeks. My knee is not any better. He told me he would recommend PT but haven’t heard anything. I have also expressed my interest in invasive weight loss like lap band but he seems very against it. Has always been a nice guy.
9/26/2022
He listens to my complains and helps to the best of his ability. He shows compassion for his patients.
8/29/2022
Doesn’t appear concerned about me
10/28/2022
Does (did not) respond to refill request, the pharmacy stayed on top of that. At least three times this year Optum has billed me before filing insurance claim, the latest $375, instead of $20.
7/7/2022
Already explained
9/13/2022

Dr. Kunstle is very pleasant, receptive, listens, and gentle in recommendations.
9/7/2022
He’s great doctor. Friendly. Concerned.
8/26/2022
He is a satisfactory provider.
7/14/2022
It was our first meeting and he gave me all the time I wanted.
8/11/2022
I never recommend a Dr to anyone.
9/13/2022
First visit. He seemed interested in my health
9/6/2022
Dr. Kunstle is a good doctor, very knowledgeable, but too quiet. He does not spend the time to explain things to me. I think Optum probably limits his visits with patient, so it probably is not his fault.
