Meet Dr. Keith S. Ungar
42 years of dedicated healthcare • Thousands of lives transformed • One unwavering mission: finding the root cause of your suffering.
What drives a man to dedicate over four decades to healing? For Dr. Ungar, it began with a simple belief: every patient deserves answers, not just treatments.
"Living with autoimmune disease myself, I understand the fear, frustration, and hope that comes with chronic illness. This personal experience drove me to fix myself because medicine couldn’t. —it drives my compassion."
A 1983 graduate of the National College of Chiropractic with a Doctor of Chiropractic and Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, Dr. Ungar was pioneering functional medicine for over 25 years—long before it became mainstream. His commitment to excellence shows in his 400+ hours of postgraduate study in neurology and over 300 hours in functional medicine. He also has numerous other certifications in alternative therapies .
At 57, he courageously entered medical school, earning a remarkable 4.03 GPA among the top of his class. When faced with mandatory vaccinations for hospital rotations, he made the difficult medical decision to forgo completion—the risk of triggering another autoimmune condition like rheumatoid arthritis was too high. This wasn't political it was—it was purely medical, made years before COVID-19 existed.
A Legacy of Excellence:
• Fellow of the American Association of Integrated Medicine
• Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner • Licensed in Acupuncture including Korean Hand Acupuncture
• Author of "Your Thyroid Chemistry Doesn't Lie"
His elite athletic care includes treating Olympic competitors, PGA legends like Payne Stewart, Brad Faxon, Lanny Wadksins, Fred Couples, and Mark O'Meara, and serving as team physician for the 1993 U.S. Ryder Cup Team. For almost a decade, he worked at most major tournaments—Masters, US Open, British Open, PGA Championship—and traveled internationally as team doctor for the USA Karate Team to Germany, England, Mexico, and Hungary.
Beyond sports, Dr. Ungar has educated hundreds of physicians and hosted a weekly call in health radio show for almost a decade, and speaks frequently on thyroid health, diabetes, autoimmune disease, cognitive decline, and neuropathy.
