Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
I've already recommended Dr. Ungar to my female family members, most of whom have some concern about hair loss, but fortunately, none of them have severe hair loss like me. I told them that "time is of the essence."
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ungar. The wait was well worth it. He shows empathy. He explains ALL options. He is literally the FIRST dermatologist throughout this horrific disease - Alopecia areata - that made me feel I had a choice in my care. He gave me options and explained the pros/cons of each. I can't believe I didn't book with him over a year ago. Mt Sinai is such a fantastic facility. I'm thinking of even transferring to this facility for primary care.
Dr Ungar & his staff were great, they made me feel comfortable & address all my concerns. They were extremely professional
