Such a good doctor! Made me feel very comfortable. He found a solution to my problem and I would highly recommend him.

Dr Sun thoroughly interviewed me and performed and interpreted the tests to determine the extent of carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve issues. He suggested a wrist splint and follow up in 3 weeks which I believe is the most conservative approach and seems like a good way to begin treatment.

I doubt it could have gone any better...got there 45 mins early & was taken within 10 mins....got a good start & will see where it goes from here...thank you very much for your help.
Verified patient
Satisfied. Seems thorough and caring.
Amazing doctor.
Fast-moving/talking/thinking, Dr. Sun is impressed with his own credentials - he mentioned Mass general 3 times during the visit - but is probably justified in his opinion. He gave me ample time during the visit, explained things clearly, and seemed genuinely curious about my case. Can't ask for much more.
follow-up, standard & helpful
