I had to ask the Dr if he treated patients with possible MS. Seemed like the office was full of peopke looking for pain meds,maybe this office only deals with pain? He said arrigantky, I'm a neurologist. It's half and half, pain clinic and neuro. Then asked me why I asked-were patients in the waiting room saying they were in pain!? Before him, Rita or Reba came in but didn't really say what was her purpose. Took a lot of notes about pain, wrote down to discontinue ibuprofen and neurontin since they didn't help mych BUT didn't prescribe anything else. Then Dr does all kinds of testing in the office, doesn't followup with results, has staff make appt for me in Rensalear for more tests, and never writes a refill for neurontin nor even discuss what meds I should be on for my burning numbness and tingling in all 4 extremities, says he needs all previous records first (?!) and more tests before he makes a diagnosis. I could respect his thoroughness IF he would treat my symptoms in the meantime! I was given nothing to alleviate the symptoms! Isn't that part of the expectations when you go see a Dr? Maybe he is double billing for pain eval (so called) by Rita/ Reba and then for his eval. Oh, he did no eval, just took notes and tests in his office. Convenient, maybe lucrative too? Something doesn't add up. NOT Going back!

I saw this horrible Dr for over a year, because he was close to home. I waited as high as 3 hours on him. I felt like it was a methadone clinic. Just people in and out for med refills. He didn't help me one once. The FDA was coming down on him so did immediate medication reduction. He said "Don't blame me, blame the F###### FDA" I don't use that kind of language, so I left and never went back. He also would only take cash for co pays. Big RED ALARMS. Please find a different Dr.

I have epilepsy, and have found Dr. Ungar to be very kind and compassionate. If I am having seizures and need to speak to him he as given me a private number which he answers immediately. I highly recommend as a good physician. Sincerely, Beth Wilson

This doctor is a joke. He overbooks rude to his staff . Never listens to you. I'm in so much pain and he gives it to all of these pill poppers someone that really needs it . Dregs everything on. I have nerve damage and I'm in the middle of testing and he had to cancel it because he overbooked. He's on organize there's times where I had appointment set even shows on the card but I'm not in the system. I wanted some kind of results and I figure I would since I've been with them for a year . I would like to thank him for wasting my time

Had at least 3 tests done. Never told me what they were for or what he might be looking for. Then, never gave me the test results for any of the tests! Stay Clear of this "Doctor", your health may depend upon it!!

Spends only 5 to 10 minutes with patients. Staff is very rude and unprofessional. Would not recommend going here.
