Clearly knows what he’s doing. Very good but wait was a little long. Once he was there, he was great.

Too expensive. Esp given that the doctor himself did not do the assessment and spoke to me for 60 seconds total.

January 21, 2026James L.Verified patient
I had been to three doctors over a period of six years to address a pain in my left hip, as well as months of PT, acupuncture, myofascial and chiropractor practitioners, x-rays and MRIs, PRP and cortisone injections. Nothing worked. It took Dr. Munyak and his assistant 30 minutes to identify the problem - and what caused it - and used an ultrasound-guided injection to address it. I'm suddenly pain free, and am planning another long hike.
Here's his quote: "I do things differently."
December 24, 2025Steven G.Verified patient
Dr. Munyak was able to recommend treatment and provide the care at that time. He explained everything I needed to know (about aftercare, what to expect) before the procedure and answered all questions I had. He explained the procedure before starting and asked about pain multiple times during the procedure. He is an excellent, caring Physician.
December 22, 2025Lynn B.Verified patient
I can’t recommend Dr. Munyak enough. He and his co-physician was so delightful, never made me feel, rushed and listened to everything I had to say. This is my first time ever seeing this doctor or visiting this office. I’ve already raved about Dr. Munyak to friends. He took great care in explaining every little detail, going over my X-rays, giving me excellent advice and making me feel ‘seen’.
December 22, 2025Dava S.Verified patient
Dr M is an expert at alleviating knee pain. His injection techniques are accurate and speedy. He is a well sought after Dr by fellows wanting to learn his techniques.
And it helps that he is very conversational thereby lowing the patents anxieties. I cant recommend Dr. Munyak enough.
