Dr. Sundar is so supportive and makes you feel like he really cares
Felt very welcomed by the staff and the doctor. Almost no waiting. He listened intently to my description of the pain, conducted the examination and identified the main cause and another possible contributing factor. Answered all my questions. Started treatment immediately. Gave me number to call for progress report. I feel confident he can resolve the problem.
I had a longer wait then expected. 15 minutes after appointment time. Prescribed a new prescription so we will see. A very soft kind man.
My first visit to ORA was pleasant but during my visit I explained how bad I am in pain on a daily basis. I find it inconvenient and unsatisfactory as a patient and customer I have to wait nearly two weeks to return for a shot I was told does not take very long. I completely understand scheduling conflicts and was not expecting to get it the same day but newly two weeks is too long.
Polite No wait So personable
When I finally got from A to Z through the tests he was absolutely amazing!! Got me in right away! And the same day was able to get a pain injection I desperately needed!!
He was always inviting and took time to explain exactly what he needed to do to fit my problem.
I can’t review every person working for ORA or ORA as a whole because they’re huge, but I have had a previous issue where they wouldn’t even see me which forced me to take an ambulance ride to the University of Iowa Hospital to be seen for my severe back injury. When it came time to get another epidural locally, my GP recommended Dr Sundar and I was hesitant to go due to being turned away previously. I’m so happy he did. He is professional, compassionate and acts like he cares about you and your issue and will happily answer your questions AND LISTEN! His technique when getting my epidural was painless and I was in and out quickly. It’s not something I look forward to, but it’s nice to know it’s not an agonizing ordeal. 👍🏼 My five star review is pointed at Dr Sundar and his professionalism and caring.
I have had excellent experiences with my visits to ORA. They are always on time, and have even taken me early! Everyone has been kind and shown genuine concern for my pain. Dr. Sundar is very knowledgeable and professional. I have recommended him to a friend, and he now is also one of Dr. Sundar's patients. Sincerely, Sheree Rogers
Dr Sundar and his nurses got me right in with very little waiting time. He was so thorough at explaining my XRays and options for pain management.
Dr.Sundar was very compassionate and thorough. I felt his knowledge of back problems and treating the pain was extensive. His instructions were clear and I left knowing if I had follow up questions he or his staff would be more than helpful in finding answers.
Dr. Sundar and staff are amazing and have made things so much easier than they could be. Between prep for surgery and helping with my neck 100% professionalism. Highly recommend ORA to everyone Marty Hess
Dr. Sundar is very nice and considerate of what I came in for. Asked a bunch of questions with family history along with personal history. Gave a list of options we could try. Overall experience went good! Only little minor thing I would change is paperwork on future injections/visits. Just something explaining how this certain product will benefit me. Side effects. Etc. still very pleased!
A very compassionate doctor who listens intently to you.
Dr explained well what was causing the pain. He began by asking me to show where my pain began on my back, the direction it went, and where it ended. He was kind and compassionate to my situation. He explained what (and when) the procedure he would do try to alleviate my pain and the next step if the injection didn't work. I felt confident after the office visit.
Dr. Sunder is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He is the best pain management specialist I have ever been to.
Dr. Sundar is the absolute best in pain management. Over the course of many years I have seen other doctors who claim to stop my pain. Nothing happened until I started seeing Dr. Sundar who continues to treat my pain. There isn't a better pain specialist in the Quad-Cities or Illinois for that matter.
Thank you so much,,!!
Dr.Sanjay Sundar was wonderful. Explain everything to me. Kind and compassionate
The staff at Dr. Sundar's office are friendly and professional. You never wait in long lines to be seen. If your appointment is at 1 pm. You will be seen at 1pm. I would recommend all friends and family to Dr. Sundar's care.
Fast so way courteous. Great staff
Dr Sundar is a great doctor, he knows what he's doing ,he has a very caring Manor and he also becomes your friend ,because he's really good at what he does.
Everyone is friendly they explain everything. DrSundar is great!
The service I have had with you has been great! Wonderful at what you do,I've never had anyone as good as you with giving me my pain injections.A gentleman,polite,and again good.Thank you and your staff. Wonderful Group
I was ber pleased. Thank you!
Dr.Sundar is a genius gentleman: I primarily saw Dr. Sundar for a old back issue. I mentioned I fell and hurt my knee. He put his skilled hands on my knee, in his assessment said a shot in the knee would help. It helped me right way. Nothing but good things to say about Dr Sundar. In pain: call him now.
Dr. Sundar not only listens but hears complaints regarding pain and responds with compassion.
Everyone was very friendly and inviting. Dr Sundar was attentive to my back issues and helped make a plan for me to start feeling better.
Dr Sundar explained what he thought was wrong with my spine and what could be done if my pain level got any worse!!
Little wait time, very organized.
Dr Sundar was friendly, listened well to my symptoms, explained clearly what his suggested treatment was and why, and and made a plan to address those symptoms.
Dr Sundar believes an epidural will relieve my pain. I feel confident with his diagnosis
After going deep into year 2 with Dr. Sundar, it is pretty simple to understand why patients keep his calendar full. His caring for the patient's needs are first & foremost in his protocol for health-care and it shows with those of us that continue to rely on his expertise. Great job SS, MD!
I wound highly recommend Dr. Sundar. He is very informative, kind and compassonate. I followed Dr Sundar from Heartland Clinic. Have seen him since 10/11. I am able to enjoy life because he takes care of my back. He puts me at ease. Also love that he is a "car guy". Thanks Rita 442
I would highly recommend Dr. Sundar. He is informative, kind, and personable.
Everyone was very helpful and professional. From the ladies up front to all the people in the back. Dr.sundar was very compassionate and professional. Thank you to all at Ora.
Getting an appointment to see Dr.. Sundar was a smooth process and he took his time explaining my various options for my condition.
Dr. Sundae was very understanding of my situation and confident in his recommendation to improve my health. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing chronic pain!
I followed Dr. Sundar from the Heartland Clinic. He is a great Doctor and the facility he went to was everyone was kind and so far seemed to know what what they were doing and they all had masks on as well. I was in and out in a timely matter.
Dr Sundar was very nice and a great bedside manner. I will definitely be back if and when I have back pain.
I have been to the Bettendorf, Davenport ORA but this is the first time I have gone to the Moline ORA. I will go back to this clinic. I thought check in was very good, they were thoughtful and kind. The nurses that helped the Dr were very professional but also listened to what I had to say. Dr Sundar was the best. He listened to my thoughts and concerns and gave me hope for a more active life. In the Bettendorf clinic I thought their Dr was arrogant and made me feel like a useless old person. I am an active person and hope to continue that way. I would go to Dr Sundar anytime and I will refer him to other people.
This Dr is the Dr I’ve been looking for! He is caring, compassionate and extremely thorough. He takes the time to go over your tests and explains them to you, he doesn’t automatically push injections at you as many pain management Drs do and if there’s something wrong with you he doesn’t think he’s qualified for he refers you to a physician who is. I would recommend him to my family and friends.i was very impressed with him and his staff.
Dr Sundar explained everything to me and then asked if I had any other questions. Everyone that I dealt with was find and professional.
Was taken back at my appointment time. Nurse was helpful answering my questions before and after I saw Dr. Sundar. When Dr. Sundar came in he had questions for me as it had been a while since he saw me last. I had questions as well which he answered to my satisfaction. He assured me that he could help my problem as he had in the past. I felt relief as I left the office.
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!
Dr. Sundar is a very highly qualified physician that i respect immensely. He has helped me so much and is very caring. I recommend him highly. He has even performed surgery, and I have recovered very well. I appreciate all he has done for me.
Excellent and informative professional health assistance Dr Sundar was very engaged in trying to assist with my situation He took the time to explain in detail I could appreciate and understand what was happening Very open and compassionate to the patients needs and concerns I appreciate the open and honest opinion and assessment that was provided at all levels Norm Sheehan
Very friendly and caring doctor. I’m looking forward to having him help me with my back problems and I’m confident I’ll be feeling better soon.
I really like Dr. Sundar. I have had a lot of relief from back pain. He has good bedside manner.

Dr. Sundar is very good at what he does. In addition is his compassion. For one reason or another over 25 years I’ve had 5 pain doctors. Dr is among the very best. I’ve felt confident recommending him to others needing pain help.
He was super nice. Talked to me telling me about my concerns. Came with a plan. He was just nice
Appointment was for epidural injection. After review of MRI it was shown that a better procedure should be attempted. Waiting for workers comp approval. The dr was looking out for my best interests. Really like his manner.

When I arrived for my appointment it was very busy at ORA, but they called me back within 5 minutes of sitting down. Dr Sundar came in to the room very quickly and was very direct and knowledgeable. He explained my situation, and gave his opinion, but also made sure I knew that I had the option of getting other opinions if I wanted to. I am very happy I was referred to Dr Sundar and will continue to see him as needed. 👍
Great Dr , great service o ly thing that I would say negative is I needed actual oai .killers to last untill my epideral shot and stated this and was given something that hadn't worked o e week prior to my request also stated this to no avail other than that ORA AND DR SUNDAR ARE AWESOME ,FRIENDLY , AND COURTEOUS

Doctor was very informative and helpful. He explained things thoroughly, and helped my pain tremendously with an injection. Highly recommended Dr Sundar!
Sanjay's approach to my medical condition began as an open honest attempt between he and myself to deal with my set of medical circumstances using his talents, ability and contemporary medical applied techniques and knowledge as the tools to best deal with my situation. Hands down 1 of the best decisions I've made in my entire life to have him in it!
Was very satisfied with the attention I received. My specific issues were explained to me in very clear layman terms. A corrective course of action was recommended without equivocation.On this basis I would highly recommend Dr. Sundar and ORA,
Thank you Dr Sundar you are the man
I was referred to Dr. Sundar by my ORA Physician. I could not be happier with his services. He is a very polite and caring professional. He listens and goes over all of your symptoms. I have another appointment coming up to take care of my neck pain and I trust that he is definitely capable of providing the best service that is needed for my issues.
Dr.Sundar is an awesome doc who helps me greatly handle pain. Highly recommended!
I spent many years dealing with degenerative joint and disc disease fibro and post surgical pain. I was bounced around dr to dr and then I found Dr Sundar and his staff. They have helped me through all of my hard times with my pain giving me a better quality of life. Thanks to them have been able to enjoy life.
Dr Sundar was able to take a lot of pain in my back and leg away without surgery.
It was around 1979 my first visit to ORA fractured my hand.Dr. Daugherty was my doctor than 40 years later they have just improved facility wise and their team of professional doctors, nurse practitioners and staff everybody is very helpful and caring. Dr. Sundar and Stacy and Mary nurse practitioners are all very nice and helpful I highly recommend them for your pain management Joe Gonzalez
I felt very comfortable with Dr Sundar...a very professional and knowledgeable man
Dr. Sundar is one of the best! I have been seeing him for years and he is always kind and professional. He does care and he helps me manage my chronic pain.
Dr. Sundar has been instrumental in keeping me moving over the past two years.
I am very pleased with the care provided by Dr. Sundar. He utilizes the information and data that I provided and then informed me of his recommendations and we made the decision together. During my office visit, he kept me informed during the entire process.
Dr Sundar has helped me thru some very painful times. He is courteous, caring, and very knowledgeable. I recommend him highly to anyone who needs a pain specialist. He is definitely the only one who would be doing surgery near my spinal nerves. He is an all around excellent dr. You are treated with respect with Dr. Sundar.

He listens and cares and is still quick and efficient. He does everything he can to make sure that his patients aren't hurting or at least hurting as much. Wonderful wonderful doctor.
Professional, listens to what you say and comes up with a treatment plan.
Excellent! He is a true professional. Does not waste time but is still thorough and cordial.
Tremendous Doctor. First time I have had back pain relief in seven years.
For the first time in seven years my back pain is 60 % less. Actually I had 7 days of no pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Sundar for people that have back pain or tried other ways of getting relief with no results.
Dr. Sundar has been professional, informative, and kind in my visits with him. He asked the right questions to diagnose my pain, ran tests to verify, and prescribed painkillerss without treating me as if I were an addict or selling the drugs on the side. In follow-up visits, he is careful to check on symptoms or changes in my health. Will definitely recommend him to others!
First impression of office was it was clean. Check-in was short and painless. Didn't have to wait too long. Saw nurse practitioner. I was disappointed that you had not received my records from Heartland Clinic so was unable to help me yet. Receptionist needs to tell patients that they have to go to Heartland to sign release to get records. I was told I could go to ORA or Heartland. Went to Heartland after my appt. with u and they told me you had to sign their form before they can release any records.
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.
There is usually very little wait time and staff is friendly. Dr. Sundar has been my doctor for pain management for many years and he always listens to concerns and explains conditions and procedures in a way that is easy for me as the patient to understand.
been at ora more than i care to say. recently for on going beck pain. they have been 98% kind and helpful. dr. sundar, dr. turner, above par.
I felt very comfortable talking with Dr Sundar. He is very professional and seems to be a very caring person. He listens to what you have to say and answers any questions you ask. I would definitely recommend him to anybody and look forward to having him as a doctor.
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.
Check in was fast and I didn't wait long to be called back to a room. Everyone is very pleasant, including the doc. Dr. Sundar is very thorough and explained everything in terms I could understand.
From the moment I walked in I felt important. The staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Sundar is caring and very thorough with his explanations. I feel that he is dedicated to helping me. My pet peeve in medical offices is having the feeling that my time is unimportant. I left yesterday commenting, "What a pleasant experience!" Highly recommend!
Dr Sundar and his staff are amazing I would recommend him to everyone.
