They stay on time….no long waits in the waiting room nor the appt room!! Dr Sundar gets to the point and explains things in layman’s terms.
Dr Sundar is very caring & explains treatment.
5 stars for Dr. Sundar my diagnosis from the mri was not good but dr Sundar was polite and to the point of telling me i need surgery at the L-4 L-3 of lumbar spine. He gave me options of controlling my pain until surgery. I’m very happy with my consultation with Sanjay!😃
professional, friendly employees. clean facilities. xray right there!!
I like Dr Sundar , he’s a very nice and professional He lesson to you, and he’s taken away a lot of pain With a implant simulator and Epidurals. I give you a 10 and more thank you. Sandy bauswell
Highly recommend.
Dr Sundar was great,he explains every thing he’s doing. He has fantastic Dr and patent communication skills! I would most definitely recommend him to friends and family
Wonderful and caring doctor and staff! Couldn't ask for a better experience when getting a shot in the knee!
Straight up, honest Dr. Enjoyed his opinion like I was talking to a trusted friend. Very kind!
I walked into your Davenport clinic and within 15 minutes I met with Melanie Wilson, PA-C. We discussed my issues, she listened very carefully, and because of my current state of homelessness, she offered her office for me to sit in while on her lunch break she made phone calls and gave me several good resources. She gave me her lunch because I had no food. She not only treated my physical issues but she treated my mind & soul. Melanie I want you to know how much I appreciated you that day. I've shared this with many people. You are an angel who's not just at her job to collect a paycheck. I met with Dr Sundar today & got very good news. Again a compassionate Dr who told me straight up his honest opinion, which I appreciate & value. I am no longer homeless. Thank you again for that day & bitter sweet our paths probably won't cross again but I will never forget that day I sat in your office. Debra Reeves
I didn’t have to wait to the doctor, they r very friendly and professional and the procedure worked quickly
Everyone very nice prompt love dr sundar he takes the time to listen. Usually see Mary schwenn whom I also like very much
Dr. Sundar listened to me carefully, talked TO me (not my accompanier), answered my questions and concerns and gave me what sounds like the correct procedure to follow to find the cause of my stiffness and pain, We were finished in an efficient quarter of an hour.
After sustaining a traumatic injury to my hand, I was referred to Dr. Sundar for the nerve damage. I can not emphasize enough his professionalism, attention to detail and explanation and his sincere care for his patient. I can only rate Dr. Sundar with five stars but he deserves much more!!
I would definitely recommend ORA to friends and family. Dr. Sundar MD was extremely knowledgeable and made sure I had the knowledge I needed to make my decisions on how to proceed with my pain management. Thanks to all.
Dr. Sundar and staff were professional, personable and knowledgeable.
Dr. Sundar was very thorough explaining my condition and gave me all options. I left feeling he answered all questions. He acted like he cared about me and did not rush me. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sundar!!!
He explained all options to my husband who is having serious back pain. He is very personable and listens to all your concerns and questions.
Very concerned and wanted to make me feel bette immediately and then set up long range plan
Dr Sundar, listens and is genuinely concerned about what I'm saying. I don't know what my life would be without his care. If anyone is looking for an amazing pain Dr, he's the best! D Nimrick
I’m a father of four very active boys and my wife would say she’s in charge of five children who can’t resist dangerous activities. Speaking from experience, on behalf of my whole crew, I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Sundar and Dr. Mann. They take the time to put you at ease and their care always exceeds expectations. I can’t speak for the entire staff at ORA yet because we have injured ourselves in enough particular ways, but I would highly recommend ORA if they attract the likes of Sundar and Mann.
They are very helpful. Very easy to work with.
I just had my initial consultation with Dr Sundar. I was a patient at Pain Centers of Iowa and what a difference. The ORA team is very professional and Dr Sundar listened to my concerns and we together decided on my treatment plan. If you are in need of an ortho Dr., I highly recommend the team at ORA.
Dr Sundar is a wonderful doctor. He is caring ,understanding, and very knowledgeable. You can tell that his patients come first. I recommend him everytime I come across someone who needs his expertise. I am so lucky to have found him. He was actually recommended and was referred by another doctor, whose mother sees Dr. Sundar. That is a glowing recommendation in my opinion. Thank GOD for Dr. Sundar.
Very pleased with my first appointment with Dr. Sundar. He was prompt, courteous, explained everything in detail, answered all my questions clearly to my understanding, provided options for pain relief, and per my request administered trigger point injections in his Davenport office. Extremely satisfied with his care.

Dr. Sundar was absolutely amazing. He discussed what my options were and was even able to provide a treatment the same day.
He was courteous and let me know everything. He asked if I had questions. He showed me my MRI photos and explained what was wrong and what would be done. Smiled and shook my hand and gave me reassurance of the outcome would be good. I had recently had a follow up and I liked he showed concern for me and helped with my workman comprehensive case.
Dr Sundar is very courteous with a good bed side manner. If it wasn't for him I would l would not be working. Thank you Dr Sundar and the team at ORA!
Good experience
Excellent doctors and staff. Very nice facilities with parking. The professional staff listens to my problems and prescribes accordingly.
This Dr LISTENS and truly cares. His technique for the injections he gives me in my back are as painless as can be expected. Class A Dr right here! Go see him, I think you’ll be happy you did.
Dr. Sundar listens to my concerns/issues carefully and has a wonderful “bedside” manor. He truly cares about pain and resolving it. He doesn’t hesitate to refer me if his means for relief are exhausted or no longer effective. I’ve been working with him for a year now and I would recommend him highly for pain management of the spine.
Dr. Sundar is fantastic. Can not say enough positive things about him and his staff. Professional, empathetic, respectful, understanding, and most importantly, I felt that my well-being was important to him and I wasn’t just part of the heard. Great job by all at ORA but high marks for Dr. Sundar and his nurse.
I found Dr Sundar very pleasant and knowledgeable, he put my mind at ease with all my medical issues, I would recommend him highly to my friends and family
Dr. Sundar has a great bedside manner. He was very informative and helpful in explaining my results and what solutions are available to me. He was efficient and thorough. I didnt have to wait either.
Dr. Sundar is a terrific Physician. Caring and attentive to your pain needs. Love this man.
Can’t say enough! Professional, thorough and a great team at his side! Was in very bad shape on arrival but 6 months later have seen some needed relief! Thank you Dr for listening to me. Thank you for your help. Highly recommended!!

Everyone very pleasant and seemed to be organized. No complaints.
I am grateful for the expertise and care provided by Dr. Sundar and his staff. He listens to all concerns and answers questions thoroughly. His care has helped me continue the activities I enjoy and live a more engaged life.
Dr Sundar is the best giving an epidural shot... He saved my Christmas this year...:-) Thanks Dr!! 🎄🥰👍🏼
ORA Orthopedics is an amazing place, with amazing doctors. Dr. Sundar is a kind, caring, compassionate, smart doctor with wonderful bedside manner. Very through and made sure all my questions were answer! He helped me get to the bottom of the pain I was having in my leg. After an MRI and a steroid injection, I’m on way to being normal again! Without surgery! 🙂 I highly recommend seeing Dr. Sundar if you are experiencing any pain, and want to get to the bottom of what’s causing it! Thank you again Dr. Sundar!
It was obvious that Dr. Sundar had reviewed my chart & concerns prior to entering the room. He listened closely to me and quickly developed a plan with options to treat me.
I really liked Dr Sanjay and his staff,check in was easy,everyone was friendly and courteous and not slot of waiting around.
Excellent care. Dr. Sundar listens and asks questions. Leaves patient with no feeling of being rushed to leave.
Dr. Sundar is very knowledgeable and personable.
Dr. Sundar and his staff were very friendly and helpful and very professional. Office very clean. Very short wait.
Very informative lots of information to think about
A good experience. Dr Sundar was generous with his time and answering questions. Procedure was very helpful with pain relief within a day. I recommend this doctor if you have back pain and leg pain.
Service was great and quick. I did not have to wait very long before I was called in to see Dr. Sundar. The doctor explained several options and recommended that I continue with the current procedure. He and his nurse were curtious. I was very happy with their approach to my issue.
Dr. Sanjay Sundar is great. For several years, he has been my go to guy for pain. Professional, kind and compassionate. He works with you to come up with a personal plan to ease pain and keep me moving!
Dr. Sundar is not only extremely knowledgeable in his feel, he demonstrates a sincere caring for his clients well being. He listens and responds in a manner that is easily understood! His good natured presence certainly puts a patient immediately at ease!
Appreciate Doctor squeasing me in and listening to me.
Dr Sundar and staff are excellent and friendly!
Yes I would, he is very knowledgeable on what pain I am experiencing and listens to what I try to explain my pain and it’s location. He provides me with the information and help to get better. I have had relief for the procedures he has performed on my leg and will continue with his treatments. He is always professional as his staff is also.
Dr. Sundar is the best. He goes over and beyond to make you feel comfortable and he listens to what you have to say.
I highly recommend ORA. They go above and beyond to make you feel like you matter. Dr. Sundar is the best
Excellent Dr. He actually listens to his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Sundar
Dr Sundar has been the only one who has helped me when I have had continuous pain, I trust him above all others!
Dr. Sundar and his staff provided a great experience. Taylor was thorough with reviewing my history and asking follow up questions when needed. I didn’t wait a long time before seeing Dr. Sundar, maybe 5 minutes. He was attentive, reviewed my MRI with me in a way I could understand, performed an thorough exam and asked questions about my pain and medical history. We discussed his opinion on the cause of my pain and the medical reasons why he came to that decision which I greatly appreciated. We discussed treatment plan and agreed on next steps together. I saw Dr. Sundar for a second opinion and after experiencing what I did with the first pain management doctor, I’m so thankful I sought out a second opinion. Dr. Sundar has great bedside manners and that combined with his staff, I left my appointment feeling 1000 times better than I did after I saw the first pain management doctor.
Awesome as expected, Let’s go Hoyas.
My experience from the staff over the phone, front office staff, Dr. Sundar’s nurse Taylor and with Dr. Sundar himself was exceptional! I visited Dr. Sundar for a second opinion and I’m grateful I did. I left my appointment feeling happy with the findings and treatment plan. I highly recommend ORA and Dr. Sundar.
After not having to seeing Dr. Sundar for a few years, they were able to get me in in a week. He listens well, explained the x-ray to me and immediately had me schedule an MRI. He’s a caring and awesome doctor. Thank you!!
Dr. Sundar is very easy to talk with. He thoroughly explains his findings and what his recommendations involve. He carefully answered my questions.
Very nice man although I'm still not sure why my back pains still exist but he was very quick one of the quickest I've had I still have nerve damage something I'll takes meds for the rest of my life. Thank you again Dr. Sundar for your expertise advice. Alfred Gatewood Jr
Dr was very good at explaining my X-rays and when he gave me cortisone injection was very good I would highly recommend dr sundar
Had follow up visit on 9/23/21. Dr Sundar explained test results with me, made sure I understood and gave me his recommendations. Most important he listened to me and we decided on next step together.
I had the opportunity to take a trip to ORA Orthopedics and I was pleasantly surprised buy the good treatment I received. I really wasn’t surprised because I had been there before and received the same great treatment that they provide for everyone. Dr. Sanjay was very Patient and took the time to listen to all my concerns. I look forward two working with him going forward to help me with my back and leg problems. I have other concerns but I will address them when I meet his assistant name Mary.
They explain in detail the problems your having and give options to help correct the issues.
Dr Sundar is amazing! He took the time to review my MRI with me in detail to help me understand the severity of my injury and explained to me why an injection would be a very short term relief measure and surgery unavoidable. I really appreciated hearing his reasoning because I tend to take the long way around things and would have likely caused myself irreparable damage to my nerves by waiting. He is a caring provider, never made me feel rushed, squeezed me in on an emergency basis (who I have others to thank for that as well!) and gave me an injection that will help me function through for the next couple weeks. THANK YOU DR SUNDAR!

It was a great experience and would tell anyone to use Dr Sundar. Very caring.
It was a very helpful session with Dr. Sundar. He was very knowledgeable about my condition and spoke directly to me and answered and even anticipated my questions. I especially appreciated his using my x-ray to discuss options. His patient interaction deserves a very high mark.,

Dr. Sundar is the most personable and caring doctor i have ever visited. I certainly felt his compassion. His nurses at ORA in Moline were kind and cheerful at my visit. I was thankful.
Dr Sanjay, was very polite and confident. I am looking forward to continue onto my next step into getting my neck surgery going. Was very thorough with information.
He is the best
I was very happy with the care I received, from Doctor Sundar all through the staff everyone was great!
I was at ORA today for my first ever epidural. The Doctor explained everything and went over my MRI with myself and my wife. I was very impressed with the whole experience. My Doc was Sanjay Sundar and the rest of the staff was great too!
Wonderful DR SANJAY SUNDAR
Very awesome doctor and staff very pleasant to talk to and concerned about your well being highly recommend
Very professional along with prompt care. I highly recommend Dr. Sundar.
Takes time to listen. Pleasant personality. Offers options and solutions. Genuinely concerned with patients needs.
From the girls who checked me in to the Dr., and the girls who helped with my procedure was fantastic. Dr. Sundar did a fabulous job explaining. I wish I had a print out of what we talked about. The only thing I did not like was having to wait over two months to get I. To see him.
Dr. Sundar was very nice and informative. Very prompt treatment plan, I was treated the same day I came in for my consultation.
Absolutely the best experience I have had with a doctor. Completely professional and explained everything so I could understand.
ORA addressed my issues in a timely manner. They came up with an action plan. They were considerate and compassionate.
The staff is very well trained. Staff and doctors are easy to talk to about your problems.
Dr Sundar explained everything on my MRI, and showed me where the problems are. He explained what he could do to help with my pain. I felt very comfortable with his explanation. I had the procedure yesterday. It was very easy and successful!
My father had been dealing with pain issues causing him not to be able to sleep and barely walk. We had been to multiple other doctors. Sanjay Sundar is AMAZING!! He was thorough , found the issue causing the pain, setup a treatment plan and listened to my father. It’s been a few days now since his appointment and he’s walking , sleeping and able to take care of himself better than ever before. I hope ORA knows the skill and care that Sanjay provides to his patients as we don’t want to lose him.
Great group of Dr and Sundar is one of the best
Dr Sundar was able to diagnose my prolblem and provided a solution.
He is knowledgeable and knows what to do. He might try one thing, but if it doesn’t work you have to tell him.
My appointment was addressed in a very short time. Everyone was very helpful & Dr Sundar prompt & very knowledgeable as to my symptoms. Thank you ORA
I visited ORA Orthopedics yesterday, Dr. Sanjay Sundar, to assess my back pain. It was quick, easy and painless to receive a steroid injection in my lower back. The office staff, nurses and Dr. Sundar are all extremely kind and professional. Great office, great team. Would highly recommend. Lori Shafer
Dr Sundar is a miracle worker. I'm so blessed that I found him. Very caring, knowledgeable, just an all around wonderful Doctor. Dont know what I would do without him. Highly recommend him to everyone. .ORA is very lucky to have him on their staff.
