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.

There’s a doctor really takes the time to listen. He reviews your chart before you come in so he knows what to do once you’re there. He explains everything in an easy way to understand. And he’s willing to go the extra mile to find a Treatment that will work that I’m not allergic to.

Fluid being injected into thumbs should have been injected slowly rather than all at once. The pain was absolutely horrible (10 on scale). I know this because I have had these injections before and confirmed this by looking it up.
He also did not go over with me how extensive me arthritis is. In fact he only discussed surgical options when I asked him about them and he said it so fast that I had ask for the name of the ONLY procedure he does.
In general he was the worst doctor and visit I have ever had and I have had many!
