Meet our physicians

A board-certified family physician, Dr. Unger practices preventative medicine for the overall health and wellness of his patients. Dr. Unger believes in active collaboration, education, and shared decision making between a patient and their provider. His practice primarily focuses on the comprehensive management of acute and chronic medical conditions specializing in wound care, along with their associated comorbidities.

Dr. Unger was born and raised in South Knoxville and continues practicing in Knoxville and the surrounding areas. As a husband and father of four, he values quality patient care for the entire family. When not practicing medicine, he enjoys spending time with his family, and the outdoors whether at the soccer field or in the mountains, lake or rivers of East Tennessee.
