Took my disabled son to see Dr Kunz just before he moved to this location, he had a bad ingrown toenail and through a series of meetings made sure the ingrown never happened again. Kunz is compassionate and understanding. A huge thanks again to him.

Dr. Kunz knows what he's doing, we took our 17th year old son because he had a very infected it ingrown toenail ( Big toenail) and he took care of it right away, my son was in a lot of pain when we arrived to his appointment at 3pm, and we left Dr Kunz office around 3:45pm, it was amazing, so fast and most importantly my kid was happy again, he hasn't complain about it sincethen, I forgot to mention that Victor is especial ( D'George Syndrome ), he's 17th but act like a 6 months old baby 👶.
