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

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.

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!

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 !!!!!!

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.
