Patient Reviews
May 15, 2018
Amazing doctor, very caring and very funny! He had operated a surgery on my esophagus because my stomach had been going into my esophagus causing me to throw up each time I ate or drank anything. He changed my life forever in such a great way that I can't thank him enough for performing his Hiatal Hernia surgery successfully on me 5 years ago on April 30. Thank you so much Dr. Dunn if you see this, thank YOU! You saved my life really...
