Patient Reviews
68 verifiedDr. Dunn was kind, professional, and very caring throughout my experience. Before my procedure, he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood what to expect. He also followed up afterward and explained everything thoroughly, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I truly appreciated his professionalism, compassion, and the way he made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Dunn!
I am so impressed at how well my surgery and experience went with having Dr. Dunn as my surgeon! He was thorough, with what to expect before, during and after the procedure. He assured me that I would recover quickly (I even got to go on my girls trip a week later)! My scars are still healing, but everything looks great! Choose Dr. Dunn as your surgeon, you won’t go wrong! Plus, he also has great bedside manor!
Dr. Dunn and his staff are professional, responsive, efficient, compassionate, and highly skilled. I would highly recommend them with the utmost confidence.
They saved my life. My appendix burst after one hospital declared I had diverticulitis. Sepsis caused damage and they then had to do many repairs of holes in my intestines and bladder. I highly recommend this team!
Dr. Dunn was quite professional, as well as, kindly personable. He had a great way of explaining things, so that it was easily understood. I enjoyed our two interactions (once while in the hospital and once in his office).
What a blessing Dr. Dunn is. My teenage son had to have appendix surgery in a lot of pain. Dr. Dunn went out of his way to come meet us in pediatrics at Good Sam before and after surgery. Great communication and wonderful demeanor. My son’s recovery was way better than expected. Just finished our 2 week post op checkup in Dr. Dunns office in Los Gatos and everything is all healed and we actually got a few minutes to talk and he was able to connect with my son. Such a nice experience not typical these days. Highly recommend.
I have only seen Dr Dunn in consult but was most impressed with his knowledge & kindness & caring for me as his patient. He went above & beyond to inform/ show me the problem with my narrowing esophagus. He thoroughly explained the procedure, and the pre prep/post surgery care. It is rare to find an MD that has both the expertise and true concern for their patients. I highly recommend Dr Dunn for a doctor in this field of medicine. Mary
Dr. Dunn was amazing throughout the entire process of fixing my hernia. The thing I appreciate the most was the promptness of care, I went from discovering the hernia, undergoing surgery and then being fully recovered in 1 month (most of that being recovery time ~2.5 weeks). I cannot recommend him enough. Professional, compassionate and easy to work with.
I'm so greatful to Dr. Colin Dunn for my 270 degree fundoplication and hernia repair. I've had 13 difficult years of GERD and LPR following my first pregnancy. I had tried western medication (PPIs) as well as naturopathy (HCL supplements) and a low acid and low fat diet but my issues continued to progress over the years until my LPR got so bad I was coughing after everything I ate no matter how light/healthy it was. I'm so happy there was a solution and that it worked! Only a week or two after surgery I was starting to eat things I couldn't before like peanut butter, chicken soup, and milkshakes. When I added peanut butter to my oatmeal and ate it my 9-year-old daughter started crying because she knew her momma was going to be okay. This surgery honestly gave me my life back. Before, I was starving and going insane with fear and worsening LPR, and now I can eat anything I want and get my strength back to raise my kids and have some fun! The interactions with his assistant were great as well and the pre-op and post-op experiences were clear and helpful. I also felt that the nurses at Good Samaritan were great. I would definitely recommend doing your surgery with Dr. Dunn because you are going to get talented people and all the best tech. Now time to go eat some cake for Mother's Day!
Dr. Dunn performed my appendectomy, and I had a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable throughout the process. What stood out the most is how calm and composed he is, easily one of the coolest doctors I have met. The surgery and recovery went smoothly, and I am really grateful for his care. Highly recommend him.
Had inguinal hernia surgery 3 weeks ago. I was extremely nervous but Dr Dunn made me feel extremely comfortable. I wish he was my primary care Doctor. He did great work and no more pain. His staff is great as well. His assistant Joannie C responded quickly and answered all my questions. She was professional every time. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to see Dr Dunn if you need hernia surgery.
Dr. Dunn is amazing! I contacted him for a consultation/second opinion, was impressed and trusted what I heard. From the beginning, his patient care, compassion, communication and concern were unlike any doctors in my past. Besides his superior surgical skills, his philosophy of caring for the "whole" patient (mind, body & anxieties) made a huge difference; it is largely why I chose to drive 6 hours from home to be his patient. He assured that I throughly understood the procedures by being willing to listen to concerns and address them! He was available and responsive when needed, and I trusted him completely. His skills knowledge, approach and personality instilled confidence that I was choosing well. Being a Helper and a Healer seems to be his passion and calling. I had exceptional care and a successful surgery! Thank you Dr. Dunn; 5+++ stars!
Dr. Dunn and his team were a blessing! Had to remove my gallbladder on emergency, he was heaven sent. Thank you again for taking care of me. My family and I can not thank you enough. His expertise and professionalism was truly appreciated.
If I could give Dr Dunn more than 5 stars I would. I am so glad and lucky that he was my surgeon. He is very professional, genuine, straightforward, transparent and very knowledgeable. His guidance and instructions were very helpful from the very beginning, before the surgery. Dr Dunn cares a lot about the patient and always makes sure that everything is clear and understood. Also, I am thankful to his staff who are wonderful , helpful and caring. I highly recommend Dr Dunn and I am very thankful to him.
From initial exam to recovery room, Dr. Dunn and team were caring, competent, and an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way! Everyone was incredibly helpful, Abegail Marasigan was especially helping in helping me prep and schedule the procedure. Would highly recommend, thank you for everything.
I am very thankful to have found Dr Dunn. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, skilled, and easy to talk with and understand. He was accessible and responsive to my concerns and remembered small details that I was concerned about. Hernia repairs went smoothly. I highly recommend Dr Dunn. Thank you Dr Dunn.
Awesome people! Joanie is so wonderful. Dr. Dunn is such a great doctor, knows what he's doing. And very truthful on telling you what the surgery is about. Love guys 💕 be seeing y'all. Hawaii time..
Compassionate efficient staff. Dr. Dunn is both clinically adept and has a wonderful bedside manner. I was considered a complex patient and the results are excellent. I highly recommend NorCal Integrity Surgery to anyone who is seeking a great surgeon!
Dr. Dunn was great and made me feel instantly comfortable. At age 55 and having my first surgery, I was nervous; but after our meeting I knew I was in good hands. Post surgery and recovery has been fantastic and successful! I highly recommend him.
Dr. Dunn performed an emergency gallbladder removal surgery less than a month ago. I feel great! Dr. Dunn is vey calm and very professional, explains everything clearly before the surgery. I highly recommend him. Thank, doctor.
Dr Dunn was my life saver. After visiting the hospital 3 times, and not getting my problem fixed, my PCP referred me to Dr Dunn. He recommended gallbladder removal and I'm feeling great now. He's compassionate, kind, knowledgeable & answers all your questions. I highly recommend Dr Dunn for any surgeries you may need.
Had a bit of a setback with an umbilical hernia requiring surgery, and Dr Dunn and his staff have been wonderful! Very informative and comforting with explanations, expectations, outlooks, etc. Surgery went well, and office follow-ups have always been on-time (very impressive), with all questions and concerns answered. NorCal Integrity Surgery is a very patient-centric care center. Five stars!
Dr. Dunn got the job done. Dr. Colin Dunn operated on me during my stay at good Samaritan hospital for a laparoscopic appendectomy. Not only did he make my surgery easy and comfortable he made the post op visit easy and comfortable as well. These people really know what they're doing and got it done fast. Dr. Dunn got the job done 10/10. Im excited to start training again in 3/4 weeks. Thank you again.
I’ve had gallbladder removal surgery with Dr Dunn . He’s really professional . Wish I could have visited him earlier for early diagnosis . My surgery went well even with seriously infection. Would recommended DR Dunn . Much appreciated !
I am an Avocado Farmer. Just had surgery here at Good Samaritan Hospital. Excellent care from very professional folks. Thanks
Dr. Dunn and his office were helpful and responsive. Hernia surgery was smooth and successful.
I had been suffering from LPR, laryngeal pharyngeal reflux, for over a year when I found Dr.Dunn. From the first visit, I knew he was different than the doctors I had previously seen. He made me feel like more than a medical record number and he had a lot of compassion for my situation. My previous doctors gave me no path to getting better. He was very clear on how to proceed, communication was amazing and I knew exactly what to expect moving forward. I’m now 5 months post op and I feel great. Dr. Dunn is truly in the business of healing people and getting them back to feeling their best. I feel like Dr. Dunn has given me my life back and I will be forever grateful.
I have suffered from GERD for years, and was determined to get off of PPIs (omeprazole) which I had been taking for years. Dr. Dunn and his staff navigated me through the process of testing and eventually corrective surgery which removed the need for me to be on any medication for this issue, aside from an occasional Tums. Nobody wants to have surgery and recovery, but they made it as easy as possible for me and the recovery was not difficult. Dr Dunn is amazingly knowledgeable and was with me all the way.
While Dr. Dunn wasn't the doctor who ultimately did my surgeries, he was so instrumental in finding out what the heck was wrong with me. I'd been suffering for years, and had even went to a previous doctor who didn't fix the issues I had. Doctor Dunn listened, and tested and found all my problems. He consulted with other doctors to get the best diagnosis for my issues. I'm now pain free and my issues are fixed. Thank you immensely Doctor Dunn!!
Great Doctor. Compassionate, listens, knowledgeable!
My husband got seen by Dr. Dunn and had a great experience. First off my husband is not a fan of hospitals and this was his first surgery so he didn’t not know what to expect. Dr. Dunn is very easy going and reassured him everything was going to be ok and explained the process of what would be done for his surgery. The Surgery was fast and he was out in no time. Hopefully we don’t have to go through surgery’s again but if we would have to and if it’s a surgery under Dr. Dunns scope of line we would definitely choose him again. Thank you Dr. Dunn for taking great care of my husband.
Dr Dunn and staff is amazing! Thank you so much for all you did for me! I am forever thankful
Dr Dunn is very nice and I would recommend him for gallbladder surgery.
Excellent experience - first time under going surgery (hernia repair) and the process was seamless. He was very transparent and understanding from the beginning and thoroughly answered any questions. Procedure went great, recovery was smooth, and check up appointment was the easiest ever. Highly recommend!
Dr Dunn is the greatest, I had originally went to a surgeon for a hernia in which my entire stomach was in my chest she referred me to Dr Dunn for special test for my esophagus before she’d do the surgery. Don’t know the medical name for the procedure but he went down my throat to look around and saw I had Barrett esophagus non cancerous from the acid reflux which I was worried about since after my surgery I had really bad acid reflux. Long story short even though Dr Dunn did not to the surgery he reached out to me to see how I was doing told him about the reflux made me an appt to discuss how to proceed. On 9/4/25 in put a rap around my esophagus and I no longer have acid reflux. This is the kind of Dr you can count to do everything in your best interest before and after.
I had a hernia surgery with Dr Dunn and could not be more pleased. The surgery was flawless and Dr Dunn was always very accessible to answer my questions and provide guidance. Highly recommended!!
Dr Dunn was amazing from our first meeting to post surgery follow up. Very knowledgeable and professional. He was never rushed and spent time thoroughly explaining the procedure (gall bladder removal and hiatal hernia repair). His communication style is refreshing—Easily accessible and prompt responses to questions. He was referred by our Gastroenterologist and we would highly recommend him.
doctors are consistently updating with the family regarding patients plannif care. Very good bedside manner and takes time to explain and answer questions
My experience with Dr Dunn for a procedure provided exactly the needed support and information to navigate impactful medical decisions. Dr Dunn compassionately guided and participated in my decision making process during consultation, smoothly and expertly executed the procedure. He enabled my best recovery outcome!
I had my gall bladder removed a week ago by Dr. Dunn. At that time, I am not sure how hard the surgery was. As a patient, I thought this was the end of the world to me. But Dr. Dunn showed his professionalism and explained to me that everything will be all right. That moment my pressure was removed. Thank you Dr. Dunn.
Dr. Colin Dunn is an exceptional doctor with very confident and calm demeanor and an awesome sense of humor which brings immediate comfort in patients’ mind. I was super stressed walking into the clinic for my hernia evaluation and within 5 minutes I understood that I can’t have any better doctor to perform the surgery. He explained the procedure in plain English to me so well that I had no doubt in my mind. I strongly recommend him.
Dr. Dunn helped me through every step of the way. He was patient, answered all my questions, and kept me informed and supported through my surgery and recovery. In his office, Joannie was great at communication helping me with my paperwork needed for my work leave and insurance. She stayed on top of all of my outstanding items until everything was all set up. They both made this surgery process as seamless as possible. Highly recommend!
I had Dr Dunn for my hernia repair. . I love this guy. He was very knowledgible and informative, as all doctors should be. And as a bonus, he was very positive, personable, and talked to me more like a friend instead of just another patient. 👍🏻
Dr. Colin Dunn is truly my hero. I was admitted to the hospital from the emergency room on May 6, 2025, with a ruptured appendix. From the moment Dr. Dunn walked into my room, he showed genuine kindness, compassion, and even brought a much-needed sense of humor to a stressful situation. He clearly explained the findings from my CT scan and walked me through his surgical plan in detail, scheduled for the next day. What stood out most was his passion for his work and the calm confidence he carried—not only in explaining the procedure to me but especially in reassuring my wife that I would be okay. Dr. Dunn quite literally saved my life. I cannot thank him enough, but I am forever grateful for his skill, care, and dedication. I highly recommend Dr. Dunn for his exceptional surgical expertise and compassionate bedside manner. He truly has blessed my life. Thank you Dr. Dunn and your medical team.

From the very first consultation, Dr. Dunn took the time to explain every step of the procedure, answered all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel completely at ease. He’s very friendly and personable and listens well to his patients. His expertise, professionalism, and compassion truly set him apart. I highly recommend Dr. Dunn to anyone looking for top-quality surgical care.
Professional , thorough and detailed treatment from staff to MD. MD takes time to explain labs. and recovery process and address concerns from patients with great staff support
Dr. Dunn did an appendectomy surgery on me recently and I cannot be grateful enough for how much he made sure that I was good enough to be discharged. For someone who was very scared as it was my very first surgery, Iam thankful and grateful to be under his care. Thank you Dr. Dunn!
Dr. Dunn is an amazing surgeon. He is friendly, caring, and very patient.
Every time I go to Dr. Dunn's office, I meet the secretary Joannie Corvera with a bright smile, politely helping patients... That makes me happy a lot. As well as making appointments by phone to see the doctor, she also makes every convenience for patients. I am very grateful for the kindness and professionalism of Ms. Joannie Corvera
-The doctor is dedicated, attentive, and explains all questions of the patient satisfactorily. -The office staff is cheerful and makes it easy for the patient to make an appointment.
Friendly and helpful people
Doctor Dunn and all the support team members at Good Samaritan Hospital were awesome! I absolutely felt I was in good and caring hands the whole time.
I ended up in the ER at Good Samaritan Hospital with severe abdominal pain and no idea what was causing it. After a lot of different tests ( CT, Ultrasound and MRI) I met Dr Colin Dunn who explained to me that it looked like I had MALS. Apparently it's not a common issue to have. He said I was "one in a million..lol!" I am so afraid of surgeries and being put under anesthesia that I was very unsure if I wanted to go through with the surgery. I have never had a doctor sit in my hospital room and explain the surgery to me in detail. I also liked the fact that when I asked him what the risks were he didn't sugarcoat it. I am someone who likes to know everything upfront. He told me what would more than likely happen if I chose not to do the surgery. I didn't feel pressured into the surgery at all, because he basically left the decision up to me. He reassured me and told me I would do great. I had the surgery and everything turned out great. I had six small incisions that healed up nicely. Dr. Dunn is very easy to talk to and very personable. I only wish more Drs. and surgeons were like him. You can tell he truly cares about his patients . I hope I never have to use his services again, but if I do, he will be the Dr. I turn to. I will also be referring him to anyone that I know who has issues he deals with. I highly recommend him. Thank you again Dr Dunn for everything you did. I believe you are "One in a million!"
Dr. Dunn removed my partially ruptured appendix at the ER at Good Samaritan hospital. He met me before the emergency surgery and explained everything in a way I could understand which helped put me at ease. He was knowledgeable, confident, and was open to any questions I had. During my recovery, he checked in on me everyday and was up-to-date on my stats and labs. He cared about my progress and made sure I went home when I was ready. I highly recommend him!
I recently had an emergency surgery performed by Dr. Colin Dunn, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his exceptional care. I was experiencing severe pain and needed my gallbladder removed urgently. Dr. Dunn not only performed the surgery skillfully but also took the time to reassure me during what was a very scary and overwhelming experience. As someone who had never undergone surgery before, I was extremely nervous, but Dr. Dunn’s kindness, patience, and thorough explanations made me feel confident and at ease. He also listened to my concerns about wanting the surgical incisions to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible, and he truly delivered. I was amazed by the care and attention he took to ensure the outcome was not only successful but also very neat and minimally noticeable. His knowledge and professionalism, combined with his genuine compassion, truly stood out. I deeply appreciate the outstanding support and care he provided, and I highly recommend Dr. Colin Dunn to anyone in need of a highly skilled and caring surgeon.
Dr. Dunn is not only an excellent surgeon--he takes the time to listen to his patients so that he can come up with the best treatment plan for them. He is surgically talented, and also such a caring person. I highly recommend him for any patient with a condition he treats. Thank you very much Dr. Dunn for all that you do for your patients! Surgeons/doctors like you are hard to come by.
Had a pretty difficult surgery and they did great!
Wonderful doctor! Did a great job repairing my son’s hernia. Dr. Dunn is very personable and easy to talk to. He did a great job explaining the entire procedure! I highly recommend him.
Dr. Dunn was the only one out of numerous Dr’s that understood what I was going through. He helped me to be able to feel so much better, get my life back, and able to eat better. He saved my life and I am forever thankful.
Dr Dunn is fantastic! He's logical and concise with an excellent demeanor. He explains his plan thoroughly and with enough specifics that you're confident that your are in great surgical hands. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Dunn made my whole experience excellent! He is very informative and explains things very well. I 100% recommend him! Thank you Dr. Dunn!
Our experience with Colin Dunn has been remarkable. The patient was in a bad condition with a number of aggravating factors. Dr. Dunn explained the procedure, conducted the surgery and supervised the recovery. We are very happy with his work at every level.
I want to begin by saying that my entire experience with Dr. Colin Dunn and his office was outstanding. As someone who had never undergone surgery such as a laparoscopic cholecystectomy before, I truly felt lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Dunn. Going into the whole situation, I was pretty nervous. Not really knowing what to expect, but from the first point of contact, Dr. Dunn was very polite and easy going. He broke down the whole procedure and I appreciate him being very accommodating with me and my urgency to get the surgery over with. Joannie was fantastic in helping me get scheduled and working with my insurance to get everything squared away. Very quick and responsive in my communication with her. Definitely deserves a raise. The surgery was performed at the El Camino Health Hospital in Mountain View. The staff there was amazing. I went in alone but didn’t feel scared or nervous. Everyone was very attentive and efficient. It was an outpatient surgery, so I was in and out the same day. Recovery went way better than I expected. Even after the surgery was performed, Dr. Dunn is still very responsive with his patients, and any inquires that they have. Just finished my follow-up appointment with him at his office in Los Gatos. I didn’t catch the admins name, but I appreciate her work and making the experience quick and easy. Very nice individual. I definitely recommend Dr. Colin Dunn and his team in any future procedures anyone is looking to have in the services that they offer. Thank you again for everything!
(Translated by Google) The doctor does excellent work; he is very kind and cares about your progress and well-being. (Original) Exelente trabajo del doctor es muy amable y se preocupa por tu evolución y tu bienestar
Dr Dunn was fantastic and treated me with respect gave me a safe effective surgery and followed up with me. No complaints!
The surgen saved my life from a terrible infección. I highly recommend!
Hi, I am a 50+ years old male with a reasonable health condition but a bit over weight. A while ago, I started having progressively sever pain in my back during a few episodes after I eat normal food (such as spaghetti) and subsequently I found myself in the ER room of the "Good Samaritan" hospital in San Jose/Los Gatos area. Turns out I have a badly infected Gallbladder that needs to be removed asap. While Gallbladder surgery is not the most dangerous type of surgery, it is not a trivial surgery either and for a patient under sever pain and pain killer effects, someone that you can trust is an invaluable asset. Turns out Dr.Dunn has started monitoring my health indicators while I am in the ER after mid night and ordered even more tests (such as MRI) and followed up early in the morning to explain to me what my options are. I also happen to be lucky enough to have access to my primary family doctor associates and they concurred with Dr.Dunn's observations. Dr.Dunn subsequently performed the surgery within less than 24 hours of me checking into the ER. My case turned out to be not a mild one and the recovery is taking about two weeks. Dr. Dunn then followed up on a daily basis when I was in the hospital and once I was out of the hospital, it is fairly easy reach him for guidance. In addition to that, I do like his confidence level as well as thoroughly going through every single question me or my family members have with patience. As much as I never wish what happened to me happen to anyone, if you have Gastric (stomach) related issues, I highly recommend checking Dr.Dunn's out.
Dr. Colin Dunn and his team were incredibly thorough in explaining my procedures and addressing all my concerns. Their attention to detail and personalized approach made me feel confident that I was in the best hands possible. One notable difference I had talking with Dr. Dunn from other doctors is the sheer volume and quality of communication. As any patient might feel uncertain about finding the right doctor, the more information you're presented with and the more time you get to talk through the details, the more comfortable you feel. And Dr. Dunn being open about the risks and recovery helps establish his and his clinic's integrity, and builds that level of trust that I personally seek in a specialist. My procedure went smoothly, and the care was exceptional. The nurses were attentive and compassionate, ensuring my comfort and well-being at every step. I had a unique schedule with two procedures that needed to be done on the same day, but with a significant gap of time between procedures. They found a room where I had privacy, and provided me with a heated blanket. What truly sets NorCal Integrity Surgery apart is their commitment to patient-centered care. They took the time to follow up with me after my procedures, providing clear instructions for my recovery and making sure I had everything I needed. I felt genuinely cared for and supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend NorCal Integrity Surgery to anyone in need of surgical care. Their dedication to excellence, combined with their advanced technology and compassionate staff, make them a top-notch choice. Thank you, Dr. Dunn and NorCal Integrity Surgery, for making a stressful experience as smooth and positive as possible!

Who is Dr. Colin Dunn?
Dr. Colin Dunn didn't set out to become a foregut specialist because it sounded impressive. He chose it because too many patients were stuck in a loop of medication after medication, symptom after symptom, with no one explaining why, and no one offering a real solution. He completed his medical training at a top accredited program and went on to specialize in foregut and esophageal surgery, the area of medicine that covers GERD, hiatal hernia, difficulty swallowing, and the conditions most patients are told to just "manage." Dr. Dunn disagrees with that approach. Today, NorCal Integrity Surgery is the only practice in Northern California dedicated exclusively to gut and foregut conditions. Patients travel from Nevada, Arizona, and across the Bay Area not because there are no other surgeons but because Dr. Dunn takes the time to understand the full picture before recommending anything.
