Testimonials from patients of Dr. Gunter

from Dianna in NV February 10, 2024 for Michael J. Gunter, MD

Your attention to our problems and recommendations for situations we encounter have been of tremendous help. Thank you.

from Russ in NV February 10, 2024 for Michael J. Gunter, MD

Dr. Gunter has been our family doctor for many years. He has always provided prompt, incredibly compassionate and professional service in every case, and he’s very accessible. In 2017, he advised me to eliminate certain things from my diet to lower my A1C. After implementing his suggestions, I lost 37 pounds and my A1C dropped from 6.0 to 5.2. I haven’t felt this good in 20 years.

In the past two years, we have been very satisfied with the support and response we have received from Dr Gunter and his staff. It is a great relief to know that if you have an emergency situation or concern that you can always get an immediate response. This type of feeling has made me very pleased that I joined the MDVIP group.

Hi Doc. I hope u know how much I appreciate the exceptional care and time you take to keep me healthy. I don’t want to go to any other Doctor for any reason so please don’t retire for a long time because I am planning to be around for at least 25 more years. Hugs

from Johan in NV February 28, 2020 for Michael J. Gunter, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Gunter's since approximately 2011. He is an outstanding example of just what one wants and needs in a family physician and then some. He spends as much time as is needed towards my care and his referrals to specialists have been spot on. I am one grateful patient and feel truly blessed our paths crossed.
