Love Dr. Dunbar. Always patient, kind and listens. Couldn't ask for a better provider

04/16/2025

Dr. Dunbar has been our PCP for several years now. She shows personal level concern for our issues when we come in. She takes the time to understand all that is going on and makes very helpful suggestions. The staff at her medical office are always so kind and polite. I hope we always have insurance that works through Meritas on Vivion and Dr. Dunbar.

04/16/2025

Dr Dunbar is an excellent doctor well informed and responsive to patient concerns i highly recommend her

03/26/2025

When I lost my husband, Dr. Dunbar was compassionate and didn't rush me. She was attentive to my needs and I so appreciate this! Many physicians I've visited in the past always made me feel rushed. She is excellent!

03/19/2025

I’ve been seeing Dr. Dunbar for years and absolutely adore her! She listens intently, offers options/solutions when necessary, and always makes me feel welcome.

02/25/2025

Dr. Dunbar is compassionate, understanding and really wants to help her patients. I never feel rushed and we always talk through what ever worries or difficulties I'm having. You can really tell she cares. Top notch doctor.

02/13/2025

Dr. Dunbar is by far the best doctor that I've ever had. She is always patient when I have questions and she explains things thoroughly. I've never felt rushed when I see her and she is always on time.

02/06/2025

I love this dr and the staff at this building. I have been going to her for almost 2 yrs and she is wonderful. It's actually been more like 5 yrs and she is amazing I would recommend her to my friends and family anytime.

01/16/2025

Did my Medicare welcome and annual physical and from the lab work with Laura to the consultation and exam with Dr Dunbar and assistants to the quick turnaround for pharmacy orders it was an exceptional experience. Everyone was courteous, professional, and genuinely cared about my health and well being. Great job Dr Dunbar and team!

01/15/2025

Professional, listened & gave feedback, educated on her reasoning.

12/25/2024

I feel when you choose a primary care physician, this is a choice that should never be taken lightly. After my initial visit, I feel like I have found the best doctor for me. She was completely focused on me and my needs. With her advice and guidance, I see this working out for many years. Unlike most people, I do not review every interaction in my life. When it does come to your life, and you think it will enhance and improve your life, it is worth giving and sharing your opinion.

12/22/2024

The doctor always takes the time to explain what is going on and she always makes you feel like you are her only patient. I am so thankful for her tender, but efficient care. Melanie C.

12/18/2024

I will always be grateful to Dr Dunbar for sending me to get my prostate checked out so my cancer was caught early.

10/17/2024

08/08/2024

Great visit as always, she is the best

08/08/2024

Dr Dunbar has not been my PC very long but she has done an awesome job keeping my doctors straight easing my transition. She has also started me on my path to losing the weight I've carried my entire life. I thank her and the staff at Vivion for their attention and care.

07/26/2024

Good experience with Dr. Dunbar, she is patient and personable. She asks questions, pays attention and is thorough. I appreciate that she treats patients with respect.

06/26/2024

It takes to long to get in to see your primary doctor dr Dunbar is always a good doctor

06/21/2024

Dr Dunbars staff from front desk to technician to CMT and Dr Braden herself were compassionate and heard what I was saying. Time was taken with me and that is why I have continued to see Dr Dunbar.

05/24/2024

I have many chronic health conditions and Dr Dunbar takes the time to address each one, she always treats me with respect and compassion. She is a doctor that actually listens, which in my experience over the last 30 years of dealing with my health issues is rare. She has taken the time to research alternative treatments that might help me. No other doctor in all of my medical history has. I highly recommend Dr. Dunbar. Especially, if you have chronic illnesses and have just about given up on the medical field ever being able to actually help improve your quality of life...... make an appointment with Dr Dunbar.

05/08/2024

She takes the time to listen to what you have to say.

05/07/2024

I had to switch doctors four years ago because I was constantly taking my father out to Clay Platte Medical Center. There’s no comparison Dr. Dunbar is compassionate and one of the best doctors I’ve ever been to and I’m going back to her.. I highly recommend her

04/29/2024

Dr. Dunbar is the Best! She explains Everything and Genuinely wants to give her patients the Best Care!

04/24/2024

Dr Dunbar is great. She listens & explains things. Staff is great, too.

04/10/2024

Love Dr Dunbar! She listens and never rushes you. Would highly recommend her

04/04/2024

My first visit with Dr. Dunbar met and exceeded my expectations in a primary care physician. She is welcoming, knowledgeable and confident with her questioning and answering. Dr. Dunbar appears to have “want vs need” to listen and understand her patients. My health concerns are minimal but she addressed them with evidence based practice and made a plan instead of just talking about them and moving on. I would highly recommend her if you are seeking a new pcp.

03/29/2024

On time and very attentive. She was very thorough and answered all of my questions with good recs and advice.

03/21/2024

Dr Dunbar was very attentive. Went over everything with me

03/08/2024

Dr. Dunbar is an outstanding, caring physician and a great listener!

02/14/2024

Love her always listens ..great visit with Dr. Dunbar

02/07/2024

She always listens, is sympathetic to our needs, offers advice, does everything possible to get you feeling better. One of the best in the Northland.

01/31/2024

It’s a great place don’t have to wait long nice and friendly staff…

01/26/2024

Dr. Dunbar has been my primary doctor for quite some time. I was just released from the hospital and need a discharge follow up and she was able to squeeze me in 2 days after I was discharged. Again an amazing doctor and individual!!

01/26/2024

First time seeing Dr. Dunbar and was very impressed with how warm and attentive she was. I think I will be very happy that I switched to seeing her as my doctor.

01/25/2024

Dr Dunbar was very professional very inquisitive made a very good impression for my first visit and made me feel very comfortable and listened

01/12/2024

Dr. Dunbar takes her time with me, she is the one I trust for all my health needs.i give her all the respect possible because she definitely knows what she is doing.

01/12/2024

A positive experience

12/21/2023

I was quickly seen by my physician. I had questions, she had answers.

12/07/2023

Dr. Dunbar actually takes the time to listen to her patients. I am stubborn, as she will check me. Absolutely love her. Wish I could give her 10 stars.

11/30/2023

I have a lot of respect for Dr. Dunbar. But her staff cannot follow up on issues, referrals take forever, and so things fall through the cracks. This is unacceptable. I left and now want my spouse to find a different practice. He had very high cholesterol values show up in July. Nobody ever called to follow up. He found out only by seeing a cardiologist. He should've been on statins last July! The back office staff caused this missed diagnosis. Do not use this practice if you want to preserve your health.

11/18/2023

Dr. Dunbar was great. Very thorough and didn’t make the visit feel rushed. This was my first visit with her and I will be coming back.

10/25/2023

Dr Dunbar is a good listener and does not form any opinion until a discussion occurs.

10/06/2023

Dr Dunbar listens so well and always addresses my health and wellness concerns. She has a very calming demeanor. I am thankful to have found a great PCP!

10/05/2023

I was incredibly nervous to go to the Dr, and Dr Dunbar was sweet, kind and very helpful through the entire process. Her nurse was very nice too!! I’m looking forward to going back and continuing a Dr, patient relationship!

10/04/2023

Dr. Dunbar and her staff were very nice and as timely as possible with my being the last appointment of the day, I had already expected there to be a delay. The nurse and Dr. Dunbar went through the forms I had previously filled out and blood work they had asked me to complete prior, checked my vitals and answered any questions I had. Then I was out in about an hour. No complaints here.

09/15/2023

Dr. Dunbar is excellent.

08/16/2023

Dr Dunbar is just a great doctor she stops and she'll listen to you and doesn't rush out of the room

08/02/2023

I'm sure that Dr. Dunbar is a wonderful physician. However, my husband has very severe asthma that he needs medicines for. She told him that she would give him refills, but never did. Every month we have to wait for the pharmacy to call her office to confirm the refills, and this month her office DENIED my husband his nebulizer medicine. Medicine he has to take every single morning, sometimes twice a day depending on the air quality outside. This is life or death for my husband and you deny him!?! Seriously!?! After you promised him in your office that he would have the medicine he needed. Shame on you. Sadly this isn't the only month I've had to call your office to get his medicines. Almost every other month I have to call, and leave a message, to get my husband's medicine refilled. It is ridiculous and sad.

08/02/2023

Easy to make appointments. This Doctor has bed side manner and always listen to what you have to say and answer all your questions.

08/02/2023

The whole visit was awesome

07/14/2023

Takes time to listen. Very knowledgeable. Don't ignore any of patient's concerns or requests.

06/29/2023

Dr Dunbar is the best...she takes her time and answers my questions...she is easy to talk to and this helps make a plan to address my health issues...she's one of the good ones

06/14/2023

Dr Dunbar is very knowledgeable and is easy to discuss my health. She’s thorough very organized. She keeps good notes.

06/02/2023

This was my first visit to this practice. Dr. Dunbar was professional, friendly and efficient. From start to finish it was a perfect experience by Dr. Dunbar and the entire staff.

05/23/2023

Dr.Dunbar is great she actually cares, listens and gives honest opinions. She also has never made me feel rushed to get in and out. A+

04/27/2023

Great service from start to finish. Dr. Braden does a great job in communication and care. Her staff is very good too.

04/27/2023

Dr.Dunbar took the time to listen to any concerns I had and I did not feel rushed and gave helpful information/suggestions for my health.

04/26/2023

Not very good at seeing new patients. I tried finding her office from Google maps & they had the wrong directions. I got there 15 minutes late after taking 2 hours getting ready, taking off work, & trying to fine her office, then she refused to see me. I will find another doctor who is a little more compassionat & understanding. Even her answering service didn't know where her office was..Just another example of the poor medical care you get these days.

03/03/2023

Short wait time. Dr Dunbar was ready and up to date with my needed annual tests. She takes time not in a hurry.

03/01/2023

As a health care professional, I was so happy to find Dr. Dunbar. She is very caring, listens, and is extremely competent

02/27/2023

Dr Dunbar is very friendly and professional!!! She takes her time to listen and is very thorough!!!

02/17/2023

Dr. Dunbar is very respectful and wanting was is best for me. It had been awhile since my last visit. She didn’t make me feel bad, she was understanding and made a point to let me know why I needed to see her on my next visit. She saw that I was a bit overwhelmed and she calmed me down. She chatted with me about the book I was reading and what she had read and it was a great discussion. It showed me that she cared for me and built a common bond!! She is amazing!!

01/30/2023

Dr. Dunbar is very personable and thorough.

01/13/2023

Dr. Dunbar is very kind, easy to talk to, and takes the time to listen to me. I don’t ever feel rushed and she always offers great feedback and advice.

01/03/2023

Very patient and kind. She answered all my questions and took her time during the visit.

12/30/2022

Dr Brayden takes her time and listens to her patients which is very important to me.

12/30/2022

Love her and her staff!! She is proactive and listens to my concerns. I feel like she truly cares for me, my health and my opinions. As well as my daughter who is also a patient of hers. She makes visits easy and convenient for us.

12/07/2022

Very caring thorough examination

11/21/2022

Dr. Dunbar and the entire staff at Meritas Health Vivion are rock stars. I would not go anywhere else. Also the HealtheLife app used by Meritas is a great communication tool. I use it all the time.

11/18/2022

Dr. pays attention to what I'm saying. Doesn't brush me off. She got me on the road to feeling much better.

11/11/2022

This was my first visit to Meritas Health-Vivian. The location is convenient and easily accessed. The office is comfortable and I was immediately greeted and acknowledged with verification of my appointment and insurance information. I was in an exam room right on schedule and my first encounter was with Torre, the nurse for Dr. Braden. She took a detailed account of my health history as it applied to the reason for my establishing a new PCP. Dr. Braden then completed her exam and questioning referring to the info already established in my patient portal. She was aware of my past health history, she had a plan for going forward with my future preventative health care. She was interested in how I was participating in my own health pathway and offered two preventative vaccines to accompany my efforts. I left the office feeling so good about my health future, vaccinated, and scheduled for tests to be completed in the next year. I had a very positive first visit to this office and with my new PCP, Dr. Braden.

11/10/2022

The website says they take Medicaid and they don’t so my son wasn’t able to be seen so it was a waste of time. So I’m not recommending them they wanted to send him to ST.Luke’s cause they take Medicaid maybe they need to update there website

11/01/2022

Very pleasant experience. She spent time with me and got to know me upon our first meeting. This is what I value in doctors. I’m satisfied so far.

08/31/2022

Dr. Dunbar seems to be quite a nice person, however, she seems to be only concerned with easy patients and easy money. I was seeing another doctor at the same practice and was moved over to her after my original doctor became unavailable due to medical leave. After my first appointment with Dr. Dunbar, it became extremely evident that she did not trust me and did not treat me the same way the other doctor had. She took it upon herself to change paradigms that had been standard and dependable for years, and subsequently told me that she didn’t want me as a patient. The whole thing was highly unprofessional compared to what one would expect from a primary care provider

07/12/2022

Having her second baby since we've been with her and she has no backup. Impossible to see when your sick, might as well visit Urgent Care. Love her, hate not being able to see her.

03/02/2022

I have been seeing Braden for most of my adult life and she has helped me through each convern I have. She is not dismissive or pushy, and she takes every concern seriously. Most recently Dr. Dunbar has saved my life by suspecting Cushing's Disease and sending me on the path to diagnosis and surgery. Because of her it took less than a year for my team of Drs to find it and treat it.

01/25/2022

Rushes through visits and does not follow up on lab work or imaging. Not the best at listening.

06/18/2021

Dr Dunbar is one of the best doctors out there! She cares about her patients listens and going exhaust every resource to be sure she is providing the best course of action to heal or improve quality of life for her patients. I know all this because I have been her patient since 2017 and I recommended her to everyone I talk to about my health. As A new patient in 2017 she took the time to understand my daily life that helps play a role in my health issues. Dunbar is a dr who cares !! Also all her staff are great warm and welcoming Leo & Marty at the front are best always nice & helpful.

11/20/2020

I love Dr. Dunbar but experienced extremely poor communication with the office. The front staff are not friendly and there is terrible follow through and timeliness. I had an imaging scan and called for results after not hearing from them for a whole week. They called me back after TWO weeks to give me an update! There were also times where I was not feeling well and in excruciating pain and left a message for the nurse line; I did not receive a phone call within 2 days. I called again and same thing. This happened twice at separate occasions. I will be switching providers and going to a different practice. I do not feel cared for or valued at this practice.

09/07/2020

I have had terrible experiences with my Dr in the past. When I started seeing Dr. Dunbar all that changed. I have a long history of back injury and surgical history. She never once has made me feel unheard or disbelieved. She and I have tried new medicines and she is always open to try something else. My two girls go to her now and love her. We will be life long patients of Dr. Dunbar. Thank you for always giving us your time and care.

05/07/2020

Excellent doctor!

02/13/2020

Mary Ann, Dr. Dunbar’s nurse/MA has been amazing in helping us take care of our mother’s needs while Dr. Dunbar has been out on maternity leave. Mary Ann is so quick to call you back and really cares about the patients. Definitely an asset to the team!!!

10/11/2019

Even as a new patient Dr. Dunbar did a great job getting to know me and my medical history. I felt like she really listened to my concerns and took those info to account when diagnosing. Highly recommend for her bedside manner and individual respect.

12/29/2018

She spent a lot of time listening and asking questions about me and my health.

05/20/2018

She’s that little extra spice that makes existence extra nice. The whole staff was super nice and profesh! I love the fact that she encourages natural remedies, I went in for pain in my rectum , TMI I know but who would have thought butter would have eased the pain instantly, I was sent over for a refferal as requested and the process was quick and easy, got an appt with the GI doc the same day,#impressed. The fact that I now have a dr I can trust made me more excited since the McRib came back!

05/18/2018

Dr Dunbar doesn't set the bar because she is the bar. The care I have received has been phenomenal. It is absolutely glorious to have her take care of my medical needs. Sometimes I would just like to give her a hug. I have struggled with chronic conditions and thought there was no chance I could find relief, boy was I wrong I feel like she has deleted these conditions and its wonderful!

07/19/2017

I came across Dr Dunbar via google (the American Way) I read her profile and the fact that she is active and runs half marathons intrigued me to try her out. I'm not gonna lie I am a little old school I was a little iffy in using a lady Doctor, boy would that have been a mistake if I skipped over her. She was the easiest person I have ever talked to very caring and genuinely concerned with my care...She did one littlestretch on me and I was happier than a tornado in a trailer park! Class Act!

03/30/2017

I would recommend Dr. Dunbar to anyone looking for a physician. She listens to everything I have to say and seems to genuinely care about my health and well being.

01/11/2017

Dr. Dunbar has become my primary care physician. When I first met with her I wanted to make sure I would have someone "I could grow old with". From basic physicals to unplanned illnesses, Dr. Dunbar and her staff has consistently provided me the care and attention a patient desires. It is not all about business with Dr. Dunbar. She asks about other things going on in my life and seems to want to know me as a person. The office staff and referral desk needs a little work.

11/23/2016

Friendly and genuine!

09/15/2016

I see Dr. Dunbar for my anxiety she has been very helpful with treatment for this giving me medications as well as recommending exercise and healthy diet changes. I have also noticed it's very easy to get an appt same day or even the next day if needed. Office Staff is very helpful and returns calls same day.

09/15/2016

Dr. Dunbar was easy to talk to and really listened to my concerns. The clinic has late hours as well which was a bonus, making it easy to schedule an appointment after work.

08/31/2016

Dr. Dunbar and her staff are pleasant enough but she doesn't listen to very well. This last time I ended up in the hospital after taking her advice and returning to work too soon. I had even told her I was very concerned about how bad I still felt and the demands of my job.

02/06/2016

Dr. Dunbar is a fantastic care provider & I am excited to continue seeing her for my normal care. She is very thorough & always takes the time to discuss all the details and then explain everything well without any judgement. Highly recommended!

01/15/2016

I have seen a couple of doctors trying to find someone that has my same objective with health care, specifically not over prescribing antibiotics and actually caring to find out what the cause of my symptoms are. Dr Dunbar and the nurse i spoke with on the phone were very confrontational, and defensive. Ultimately when i pleaded for someone to help , and provide the care i need, I was told to find another doctor.
