Dr Unger took care of my teenage teeth starting in 1954/55..Stayed w/him thru his years in the Hempstead Bus Terminal..after I got married he took care of my wife's teeth after an atuo acceident in 1962..All of the dentists that have worked on our teeth ever since would remark about the wonderfukl work done in the past..It looks like Dr Unger had a wonderful & fullfilling life..
Thank you Dr Unger

I became a patient when Julia Christiansen was Dr. Unger's assistant circa 1947 until his retirement. He re-made my mouth! Took care of my family and was always encouraging, saying "courage Camille" or that's funny, I can't feel it." when I moaned. I still remember his quoting son, Tom: "it's a backwards kind of a day today." Many memories combined with warm admiration. Sincere condolences to all in the Unger family.

Dr. Unger was my dentist during the teen years. He had been highly recommended and, my mom, who was concerned that I receive the correct dental care from a competent professional, decided Dr. Unger was the best to give my dental health its preparation for adulthood. She was right; much of Dr. Unger's work lasted well into my late forties.

My relationship with Dr. Unger was through his wonderful family. Martha & Alan Rothstein are an extention of Dr. Unger's great love & pride in his family. Many times, Dr Unger would call the office to speak to Dr. Rothstein & I would have the pleasure of a brief revelation of his humour & zest for life. I know how deeply you grieve his loss & pray that your wonderful memories will be your continued solace.
With deepest sympathy

To the Unger Family,
Although I did not know your father I noticed that he was a WWII vet. I then checked the WWII registry associated with the beautiful memorial wall at Washington DC and noticed that he was not listed in the registry. Please log onto wwiimemorial.com and click onto the link to find out how to register him. It honors all those that served, not only those who gave their lives. THis would be a fitting tribute to honor his service to oour country.
God Bless.
