Patient Reviews
Dr Sundar really cares about his patients and makes sure I understand everything he explains to me. I am proud to tell everyone about what a great doctor he is. It is hard to find Doctors that care about there patients as much as he does.
I liked the fact, I had the option of not doing pain shot. If I can control the pain with tramadol.
My husband was seen here and was very satisfied with the doctor and staff!
Dr.Sundar was attentive to my many questions, and answered all of them. He explained everything clearly. After the procedure, he asked me to call him in two weeks to tell him how I was doing. I highly recommend him. He was wonderful.
Dr Sundar is very knowledgeable,trustworthy and professional. I have the utmost confidence in him and what he says. A really good Dr and person.
This doctor was very nice and patient, he explained everything to me and showed me the issues I am having and where they are on the demonstration spine in his office. He explained what my options are and the risks involved. He also sent information home with me to review, so I can make a determination what process is best for me.
Dr. Sundar was very professional and let me know exactly what he saw on my Mri and told me what was likely going to happen next. And his staff sent the referral to the Surgeon of my choice. Very nice Dr. And very quick in and out. I like that part not waiting a 1/2 on waiting room
Fast, easy, thorough, excellent bedside manner. Dr had read my history from a previous visit two years ago so he was familiar with my situation before he came in to the exam room.
Dr Sundar listens to me, discusses treatment and is always a caring professional.
Very satisfied how Dr Sundar treated my concerns and hopefully the decision will be successful.
Extremely helpful So glad I went there for Dr Sundars great answer to my pain!
Dr. Sundar treated my longtime lower back pain and has treated my husband a couple years ago for a similar back problem. He explains the X-rays and procedures thoroughly and is a very personable and caring doctor.and down-to-earth person. I would highly recommend him!
Dr. Sundar was very thorough, quick, and efficient. He understood my time- senstive issues and worked everything around my schedule very well. I appreciated everything he did very much!
Very helpful in determining appropriate pain reduction options!!
I was able to get right in due to my condition. It was my first visit and Dr Sundar treated me as if I had been a patient for many years. His bedside manner and genuine care is perfect!
Dr. Sundar implanted a spinal cord stimulator in my lower back in 2018 . He is highly skilled and very compassionate. Highly recommend him.
Very kind and detail oriented. Took his time to make sure I knew what was going on and what needed to be done.
Highly recommended by 2 other doctors I saw. Instant comfort by his soft spoken voice & personality. Got in very quickly & 4 days later my shot. Hopefully this is going to help!
Dr. Sundar is an Amazing doctor very thoughtful and makes you feel at ease when talking with him! I will definitely be back with any other issues I may encounter. Thank You very much!
Very officiant, clean, they help u in anyway they can and they listen to what u have to say I would recommend them to my friends
Dr Sundar is very caring and really listens to the symptoms I tell him I’m going through and forms a plan of care to address them. I’m very grateful for his way of making me feel at ease and hopeful.Thank you to him and his team!
Dr Sundar took time to listen and make a plan for my issue. His nursing and office staff ver professional.
Dr. Sundar was timely and considerate. He was willing to change standard procedures to accommodate my situation. He explained everything as he examined me and gave me an epidural steroid injection. My office visit with him was one of my best ever medical appointments.
very polite and knowledgeable
Jennifer Hayes has helped me a lot with my pain with Dr. Sundar both are awesome. They help me a lot. We're going to have a better life
He listened to my concerns and ordered tests. Looked at the x-ray they took and explained what was possibly the cause of the problem.
Dr Sundar is kind, caring and provides excellent care to his patients.
Dr Sundar explained things very well and was understanding. My only complaint is that when giving me the injections he didn’t use the numbing spray like the shoulder dr does.
Dr. Sundar is kind and caring with a confident, calming voice. He explained my condition thoroughly and honestly, telling me surgery was inevitable but willing to try alternatives.Smart. Kind, more than competent.We're lucky to have him in the QCA10 out of 10!
Dr. Sundar is kind, caring, and professional. He explains things clearly, and the treatment he has recommended has been extremely helpful.
Straight to the point and very helpful! Dr. Sundar was very nice and did a great job explaining everything. Highly recommended!
Very helpful. Gave me background and options on how I can proceed with treatments
Dr Sundar is a great fantastic doctor but pain management needs a lot of work on scheduling appointments for the patient in my experience
Dr. Sundar was very thorough and cordial at our first session, especially considering I have several complications from previous auto accidents. I would highly recommend him to other patients in need of pain management.
I’ve seen many pain management docs over the years. No one holds a candle. I’ve had some nightmare experiences with other people. Not him. Not only has every experience been as comfortable as possible, but I received great results, and he did all of it with the utmost compassion and professionalism. Highly recommend!!
Very caring and informs you
Everyone in the office is always so pleasant and my mother, Carolyn Ryan, is well taken care of with each visit!
Nice caring Doctor
Great first time visit!! He came into exam room promptly and got right to my symptoms. Took time to break down my MRI and where exactly my pain was from. Gave my options for my pain management, and said if I were to need him, just call!! Definitely recommend this Dr for patients with pain!
Very personable and answered all my questions.
I’m glad I took my time in finding the perfect doctor to help with my back issues. I like Dr. Sundar very much. He had a nice relaxing demeanor and the office process was very efficient and thorough.
I have never been to Dr. Sundar before. I actually cancelled an appointment with Iowa City because he had better reviews than they did which in itself is quite an accomplishment. I was extremely impressed and very glad i switched. Dr Sundar is amazing. He is genuine , articulate and explained my situation in a language I would understand, recommended the treatment options and also put my mind at ease as well. I highly recommend Dr Sundar to anyone. Thank you Dr. Sundar!!!!!
Very professional and clearly described every thing and took time with me and made sure he answered all my questions glad to have Dr. Sundar my doc.
Dr Sundar is extremely welcoming with his patients… I came to see him as I have nerve damage from the foot up to my thigh. This was caused from having full knee replacement in April. I am still completely numb from the knee down to my foot… I have severe zingers and stabbing pain in this area… Dr Sundar has given me some of my life back with recommending different medicine to assist me in my healing journey.
My appt was schedule in within a week & required testing scheduled fast, follow up appt just as fast. Great bedside manner.
My pain has lessened considerably and no longer goes to the top of my head
I have not recieved any treatment from Dr. Sundar yet, but my first appointment with him was excellent. My wife was an employee at ORA, and worked with Dr. Sundar occassionally, and when he was hired she told me he was the best pain specialist Dr. in the midwest. I have an appointment in a week and a half to get an injection, and he answered every question I had, and showed me exactly where he was going to place the injection. I feel very confident he is giving me the best option available.
Dr Sudar is a great pain Dr ,Paient alway come first polite and honest up front I respect him and what he sayes
I was seen very quickly and Doctor took time to show and explain x rays and why he felt surgery referral was needed in my case.
I love ORA Orthopedics! Everytime I go I am hurting, but I'm pain-free when I leave. Mary and Dr. Sanjay Sundar are excellent. I told my Mom to go see them.
Dr. Sunday showed genuine concern for my problem, gave a choice of treatments and thoroughly answered my questions and concerns.
Very knowledgeable very nice great place
Dr. Sundar is very personable and takes time to listen. I immediately knew I had made the right choice. I was treated and felt much better the next day. I realize my back pain is not curable but I'm confident Dr. Sundar will provide me with the best options. My appointment from check-in to check-out was no more than 30 minutes.

Surgeon and Pain specialist work well together when dealing with chronic pain.
Dr. Sundar is a great doctor. This was my first visit and he was patient and took the time to listen to my concerns and pain issues. Explained possible pain solutions depending on MRI outcome. I felt i was in great knowledgeable hands. Would highly recommend!
Dr is very sensitive to my pain. He goes the extra mile to relieve the discomfort. And it works! Dr Sundar is the greatest.
98% happy with Dr. Sundar and ORA. I have been going to ORA for different issues for 28 yrs. Dr. Sundar is calm, knowledgeable and professional. My only complaint is time. It is not any specific person, or doctot,it is medicine in general, pretty much you get only so much time and then you are done. It is a sad commentary of " our times".
Very nice gentleman
He is a great Dr who always listens and always helps my pain
Top notch Dr
I’ve had three spinal surgeries and seen many many doctors all over the US. So when I say Dr Sanjay Sundar is the best pain management doc I’ve seen, I’m speaking from experience. In addition to being on top of all the latest research and impressively knowledgeable, he’s also no nonsense and straightforward without being the least bit condescending. His bedside manner is awesome.
Dr. Sundar is one of the best Doctors I've had. He listens and gets to the root of the problem. If one procedure doesn't work he'll try something different. He's definitely someone I can count on.
My visits were very pleasant. The staff is very considerate, helpful and courteous. I have enjoyed my visits and feel very satisfied . My pain issue was addressed right away . Dr. Sundar is very knowledgeable and professional. I recommend this doctor for arthritis and bone pain . 😇I had neck pain for months . Dr.Sundar showed me the problem.. although it’s an issue that will need more work . My cortisone shot worked wonders . And I’m feeling better and enjoying life . 😇
I’ve seen Dr Sundar for about 15 years, it’s been one of my best decisions to go to him. He is very easy to understand, he’s kind and knowledgeable, he has a quiet demeanor, explains every question I have until I understand, he’s very organized and professional. He’s a confident man but not ‘stuffy’.
Called to make an appointment and got in the next day. Great doctor, and very personable.
Very fast and efficient. The Doctor had a wonderful bedside manner and was very attentive to listening and understanding my needs. Would highly recommend this facility and Doctor. Rare to find a doctor like that these days. Thank you

Great doctor and location. Always make you feel like they care and have your best interest.
Only spent 5 minutes in the waiting room, was escorted to the exam room,by a nurse, answered a few basic questions about my problem and Dr Sundar came into the room. He was very professional and very cordial. Did not act hurried. Explained what he thought my problem was, gave me options of treatment, answered all my questions. We decided on a course of treatment and he explained what it involved and what were the risks. Very happy with treatment and the care he provided. Would highly recommend him !

Very nice and friendly. Talked to you in words you understand and explained everything. Made me feel more at ease instead of on the edge. To me, he deserves the 5 stars I gave him.
Wonderful first impression consistent with referral by another professional. Purpose of appointment was to analyze significant pain in lower back. Dr Sundar was very clear in explanation as he reviewed the x-ray with us. We were impressed and look forward to subsequent office visits and hopefully restoration of comfort for her back. We fully trust his insight and guidance.
