Dr. Sun was condescending and dismissive of my concerns. Told me how the ANA test means nothing and that her other patients have a much higher lab results with that test. She made me feel stupid for following through on my PCPs request for me to get assessed by a Rheumatologist.

Dr Sun gave me as much time as I needed to discuss all aspects of my new osteoporosis diagnosis. She was extremely pleasant, thorough, and patient with a review of my history, test results, and explanation of options and recommendations. I felt my concerns were heard, and we came to an agreement on a plan going forward. As a result, I have the utmost confidence that I am in great hands with Dr Sun. I highly recommend her!

I already have recommended Dr. Sun. She took her time. She listened, examed, and explained. She showed concern and was very kind and patient. She ran tests to determine her hypotheses. Then she followed up with the lab results. She called me with her plan of action with the first tests that came in, prescribing medication. Then when the labs all came in we had another phone conference so she could answer my questions and quell our concerns.
