    Dr. Bunker is an excellent medical doctor and communicator

  • Mar 28, 2026

    Dr. Bunker was thorough, patient, knowledgeable, and pleasant. He listened carefully to a long history, did a thorough exam, and explained how he arrived at the conclusions he did, and the reasoning behind his choice of next steps, in a level of detail that was very satisfactory to me. Excellent physician!
