Patient Comments
Dr. Uknis is a real gem! She is extremely personable and easy to communicate with. She is also extremely practical. I have a very complicated cancer/medical history and her approach has always been a conservative one - one that fits my lifestyle and life expectancy. I would recommend her very highly.
Dr Uknis was [...] thorough She explained everything including why this condition occurred and expectations of the treatment plan. Welcomed any future questing any time.
4 years in the care of Dr. Uknis. Very happy with her.
What a wonderful person Dr. Uknis is! She listened carefully, was empathetic, provided support for my questions, and was very upbeat and positive. Every physician should learn to be as thorough and caring. At the same time she came across as a real person [...]. I am so fortunate to have been referred to her - I can't sing her praises highly enough!
Dr Uknis has an amazing knowledge base to draw on, and is exceptionally caring about her patients' conditions. She involves you in the process, and I would highly recommend her as a doctor, teacher, or professor.
