I have went to Dr. Sundar twice now. Once 5 or 6 yrs ago and recently for a seperate pain issue. During both visits he listened to my issues and I didn't feel rushed. He offered several treatment options, some of which were not through him , but separate specialties. I felt heard and look forward to being pain free.

Injured at work with a pretty severe back injury, Sanjay Sundar, MD has been a great care giver, as I’m quasi in the same industry (EMS), Dr Sundar is no nonsense and straight forward and understands what is going on both with me and the biomechanics and the mechanism of injuries. Great provider!

I have been seen Dr. Sundar for probably 10 years or more. I have some very bad back problems, neuropathy in my legs, bad blood flow, etc. etc. He’s very professional and very easy to talk to and does never ever rush me on what I have to say or try to get me out of his office. I think as far as controlling my pain he does as good as anybody could. He’s very kind and concerned and I would recommend him to anybody.

During my visit with Dr. Sundar , he showed genuine interest in my situation and asked me more than once what my thoughts were on his plans to proceed. this was the first time we met. I was extremely pleased with his interest in my situation and in what I thought about how to proceed forward. I’m grateful for his time and talents and looking forward to a positive outcome.

Yesterday I was ORA. Dr. Sundar was my Dr in the pain clinic. Because I had been experiencing pain in my lower back. I had seen him in 2023 for an injection in my lower back and it was time for another one. He asked me a few questions and proceeded to do the injection. I was totally shocked I credit again because there was virtually no pain. I really enjoy Dr Sundar. He is always so personable, easy to talk to and always answer all my questions. I was in the room approximately 15 minutes total. I intend to continue my treatments with Dr Sundar.
