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.

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.

He thought it sounded like a back problem. He set up an MRI for me which showed a bulging disc pinching my nerves. He sent me to a spine Dr. who performed surgery. It took all my pain away!
