Providence Patient
My husband was recently diagnosed with a chronic condition which will not improve. Dr. Kunkel has been exceptional in helping us navigate this, referring us to a Neurologist who has given us excellent care. When we see Dr. Kunkel, he has now taken the time to review our records, & has taken the time to not only get to know us medically, but as people. We moved to Spokane from a larger city where we were provided EXCELLENT medical care. Dr. Kunkel is beginning to reach my expectations.

He was thorough in reviewing events of the last year. It is funny because at check-in I was asked to sign a form agreeing this was a "well-visit" and not an opportunity to talk about "other" health concerns. However, multiple times throughout my visit, Dr Kunkel asked if I had anything else to talk about or needed him to address. I didn't but I very much appreciated him asking, none-the-less

Provider was knowledgeable and sympathetic.

Dr. Kunkel is everything I could hope for in a provider - very knowledgeable and compassionate.

Providence Patient
The first phone calls and a visit to the office related to what I needed, was never followed up, even though I came by the office with paperwork I needed to help me keep my job. Nobody responded back. I called after a month had gone by, however, and was able to be seen rather quickly, and the dr and staff were very kind, respectful and took care of what I had needed.
Providence Patient
Everything good!
Providence Patient
Dr. Kunkel is the best. I had been seeing a Rockwood Clinic PCP and was very dissatisfied. He refused to listen to me, never followed up with test results and didn't seem to care even a little bit.

He is a great doctor and I am so happy to have him as part of my new care team!
