Patients can have allergy testing and treatment and be tested for sleep apnea in Riverdale.
Dr. Kunkes has also decided to utilize only Southern Regional and its affiliated Spivey Station Surgery Center so that patients will benefit from a familiarity and a shared team approach with anesthesia and the operating room personnel. He handpicked a staff of women who specialize in taking care of patients and being familiar with the most recent advances in ear, nose, and throat medicine. They are all from the local community and interact with patients during the course of their daily activities.

This has been shown several times on local television. Also Dr. Kunkes is a spokesperson for Javelin Tech and works in training its students. He has appeared on several commercials for Javelin.
He is proud to be treating the children of patients on which he operated over 20 years ago, giving him a strong sense of attachment and growth in the community.
