Patient Reviews
I was very pleased with meeting Dr. Sundar. He seems to want to help me in any way. And tried to give me options to what might help. I'm very much hoping I can get some relief. Thank you
Helped me solve additional problem that resulted in making consults to solve additional ailment. I felt his commitment was professional and personal, as one hopes of their Doctor in this highest standard.
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.
Dr Sundar was very thorough explaining my MRI to me and what caused my back and leg pain. Very personable and easy to talk to!
It was a great experience. The entire staff was very polite, friendly and extremely professional. Dr Sundar was friendly, professional and very reassuring. I was very pleased and would highly recommend this office!
Everything went well, the Doctor explained in detail all about the result of my MRI. He also explain the next step to me and since I was not sure about making a decision, he gave me pamphlet to read and know more about it to help me make a decision.
I met Dr. Sundi for the first time yesterday and he was very cordial and very knowledgeable and do my case and symptoms are very well. It seemed to me. Very positive experience.
Very honest, friendly and educated
Great staff, they were friendly and professional. Dr. Sundar was a new doctor for me. Very nice and helped me with my pain
Very professional explained everything completely enjoyed my visit thank you very much!
I have been going to Dr. Sundar for a few years. I had a hip replacement then a knee revision but was still experiencing a lot of pain. I went to Dr. Sundar and explained everything. 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! Thank you Dr. Sundar for listening and finding my problem!
They were courteous, and told me what I need to know about my condition. I was educated on all options. Everything was good and professional.
Professional, compassionate dr.s Ora is the best.
Doctor was very friendly. Put me and my family at ease.
Very nice and easy to talk to
Dr. Sundar and staff are professional and caring. Treatment for my lower back has reduced pain considerably. Highly recommend.
First visit, explained everything clear and concise. Explained what was wrong and my options. Very pleasant and knowledgeable Dr
Pleasant Dr. Very organized and did not have to wait a long time.
Terrific first visit. Gave pro and con to options and was very helpful.
Staff was friendly And Dr Sundar was absolutely amazing! Thank you for just being honest. I have been on a long ruff journey and have been manipulated and ruined. If a neurosurgeon would have just told me what Dr Sundar told me (in December,2024) I possibly would have little better outcome . It is nice to know there are Drs left on this earth whom follow their oath and are moral !!! THANK YOU DR SUNDAR !!!!!! Stay real !!!!!!
Kind, professional, straightforward.
Great service and we really talked about my pain with options. Fantastic experience. Looking forward to having work done
Virtually no wait time. Dr. Sundar answered all my questions and explained everything throughly.
I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to come in for an office visit as I thought my pain was just my sciatica. I still think that is part of my problem but he referred me to another ORA Dr. to look at my hip.
Dr. Sundar is a very thorough and caring doctor. He listens and tries to get to the root of the problem and not just mask your issue with drugs. I highly recommend him.
I have been seeing Dr Sundar for many years, he is always great!
Dr Sundar was very pleasant and thorough. He reviewed my MRI details with me which showed the reason for my discomfort. He recommended how to manage going forward and advised if inflammation occurred in future to call him. I left feeling confident that if my symptoms flared up he would be there to help!
Nice bedside manner. Takes time to explain procedure and rationale for procedure. Very happy with having him care for me.
I came to this appointment not understanding why I was seeing a pain doctor without ever discussing the results of my MRI with my back surgeon. Dr. Sundar explained in detail with MRI image what their strategy was and what they believe was the cause and how best to treat it. Thanks Doc, Steve L

Dr. Sundar is a great Doctor, person and man. I hope ORA Realizes what a great asset they have in him. He was very prompt, took time to listen to what I had to say about my situation. He did a good exam and then explained what his thoughts were on the situation in a way I could understand. He then told me what the next steps should be and made the necessary orders to get things done. I look forward to my next visit and am confident he will have a solution. Thank you Dr. Sundar Patrick C.

Love him! He’s attentive, calm, soft spoken, explains everything in terms I have no problem understanding, and cares. My husband had a neurologist also. He went with me to this appointment. We got in the car and he said he will never go back. He wants Dr Sundar for his neurologist too.

Dr Sundar at ORA was very nice. He was very thorough in explaining my test results with me. He addressed all of my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Dr Sundar to anyone dealing with back pain or any sort of back issues.
Dr. Sundar has now seen me for SI joint pain and more recently for a cervical spine disk bulge that was causing pain down my arm and into my hand. I waited on treatment for the C-spine issue, but I have had multiple injections over a 2-year period for my SI joint pain. The injections helped tremendously and I am grateful for his personal way of explaining things and explaining the treatment options that are available to me. He is an excellent doctor.
Dr. Sundar was very informative and easy to work with. I am looking forward to working with him in the future to achieve my goals in recovery.
I appreciate honest, clear, and concise communication and diagnosis. Great experience and care!
