Great job on my 3 way broken wrist that was severely dislocated. Healing well so far. Good bed side manner, knowledgeable. Did not prescribe enough Rx pain meds to cover the week b4 and after my surgery. I was quite miserable with uncontrolled pain.

I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Sun. He is such a wonderful doctor who actually takes the time to listen to how I feel. He is easy to speak to and doesn’t blow you off and dismiss you. Even before and after my surgery he was very thorough. Even his staff was kind and empathetic. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is have problems with their hands or wrists.
