Dr.

I read the one star review below by Fernando Chavez and I completely disagree with his assessment of Dr. Bunyak. I have no personal connection with Dr. Bunyak and I am a local Escondido resident who was originally recommended to Dr. Bunyak by my physical therapist, Neil McKenna (FYI, he is an amazing physical therapist if you ever need one). I first saw Dr. Bunyak seven years ago after having debilitating lower back pain, which was keeping me from being active with my children, and doing things I love like snow skiing. I was depressed and frustrated after dealing with years of lower back pain, which did not resolve even with oral steroids/surgery ie microdiscectomy. Upon first entering the office, the staff was extremely empathetic, professional, and the office was absolutely beautiful (artwork/cleanliness). Dr. Bunyak was extremely professional, provided me with extensive bedside time and had the most amazing bedside manner. She first recommended a steroid injection, which unfortunately did not help with my pain. Thereafter, she recommended PRP and this was an absolute godsend. My lower back pain completely resolved, and I was able to play and wrestle with my young children as well as get back on the slopes and ski again! I wrote her a thank you card, essentially thanking her for giving me my life back. I have been doing well over the past seven years until now when I unfortunately herniated a disc at L5-S1 causing severe pain and sciatica. I made an appointment again with Dr. Bunyak planning/expecting to get another PRP injection (as that was what cured me in the past). Dr. Bunyak spent an hour at the bedside with me discussing all of my options in a very calm, informative manner. She informed me that given my current state, she believed the PRP injection that I was hoping to get would actually exacerbate my pain and not help with the issue and she rather recommended a steroid injection at this time. Dr. Bunyak refers out her steroid injections to an extremely reputable physician. Dr. Bunyak could have proceeded with my anticipated/expected PRP injection and made way more money off of me, but rather she did what was best for me (the patient) and my health. I trust Dr. Bunyak with my life and I think she is an absolutely amazing woman and physician. She is so well educated. She attended Yale. She has been a practicing physician for decades at this point. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone who is dealing with acute or chronic back pain to consider seeing Dr. Bunyak for possible help with your pain. Lastly, Stacy the RN, was so kind and comforting from the moment I walked in the door. Steve the clinical manager, was also so kind and went above and beyond to help me with ancillary issues/tasks I needed assistance with. Overall, I cannot say enough about the entire BOUNDLESS team. Thank you for being a resource in our community.

I was supposed to write this review months ago! It's hard these days to find a doctor when you have knee problems that they don't just want to do surgery. I was referred to Dr. Bunyak by a friend that is her patient. I'm so happy to have found Dr. Bunyak. I had some PRP injections to help with my knee's inflammation. Lisa, her assistant, is very friendly and professional.
