Patient Reviews
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.
He was very kind and he thinks that he can help!! That would be awesome!
Very professional,cool, and understanding
Excellent doctor. He shows concern. He is kind. Easy to understand.
Dr Sundar was very compassionate and understanding. He informed me and my husband about what was going on and even gave me tips on some exercises I still could do. Thanks Dr Sundar
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!

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Sundar to help diagnose and treat lower gluteal pain. I had been treated by a neurologist (nerve mapping). Previously a sports massage chiropractor and a physical therapist; their treatments were helpful but still had considerable intermittent pain. Dr. Sundar corrected the previous diagnosis, offered an immediate and short term plan for my treatment. Pain is much alleviated after 24 hours. Dr. Sundar is empathetic, gathers facts quickly, explains his diagnosis and provides short term solutions. His staff is kind and well trained. From health care knowledge to hiring the right staff, I cannot overstate his effectiveness. I would highly recommend Dr. Sundar.
Each time I go to see Dr. Sundar he has been wonderful. He takes the time to answer all my questions in a way that I fully understand. He talks about my different options and then makes his recommendation and his reasoning behind it.

No waiting. Appointment was as scheduled. Dr. Sanjay was very pleasant a thorough in his review of my MRI. He presented me with some treatment options and answered any questions.
I have always been afraid of needles so I’ve tried to avoid any treatment that required using one. The ablation on my back sounded scary and possibly painful. It was neither and supplied me temporary relief. Just like weight loss, most of us (including myself) would love to find a permanent solution without surgery for our pain. Dr. Sundar is kind and patient. He takes all the time you need to understand your condition and the best way to handle your pain.
He asks questions and listens He discusses all possible solutions. I was very impressed!
Dr. Sundar is a very wonderful doctor, he listens to you and never rushes you.He is very professional.When he gives you your shots and I’m afraid of needles I couldn’t feel it .I would and have given his name to my friends and family.
Very good guy. Made us feel very comfortable. Gave us options but not at all pushy with his ideas on what our next step should be
1. Explains well 2. Recognizes patients needs3. Treats you like a person and not an insurance paycheck
Got me right in at my schedule appointment time. Very helpful and willing to help me remedy my pain.
Thank you for taking the time to not only talk to me but to listen to me! I know we are at the beginning of this process, but I am looking forward to working with you towards healing.
Very good physician

Great doctor. Was very friendly and helpful.
Dr was very kind and interested in me. Took time to explain problem and treatment.
This is gonna be my second time here, so far everything has been great. The nurses and everyone are very friendly..
I recently had a fall, and my forehead contacted the floor. My neck has been aching since that event. My appointment with Dr. Sundar was itself therapeutic. He took the time to show me what the MRI was showing him. I am so grateful for his expertise and his plan to address the issue. I am comforted with having Dr. Sundar as a member of my team for recovery. He is the best.
Received clear and concise review of my MRI and explanation of treatment to follow. Am planning for activities I am missing out on due to pain being restored in the future. Confident in Dr Sundar as I have family and friends sharing their experience of relief after procedures done by Dr Sundar. Looking forward to my next visit and treatment.
