Bio

Following completion of his medical training in Delhi University, India and postgraduate training in Medicine at PGIMER, Chandigarh, Dr Sundar finished his Internal Medicine residency at St Luke’s- Roosevelt Hospital, Columbia University, New York. Thereafter he completed his fellowship training in Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine at the University of Utah Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah during which he performed basic research on murine models of oxidant lung injury. Following his fellowship and a year as a Clinical Instructor at the University Hospital, Dr Sundar joined the Utah Valley Pulmonary group in Provo, Utah where he developed a clinical research program over a 9-year period. During his stay at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, in addition to developing an interstitial lung disease program in Utah County, Dr Sundar performed clinical research that showed the importance of the association between chronic cough and sleep apnea. While serving as a Director of Pulmonary & Critical Care Research in Intermountain Urban South Region, he also published on clinical studies on ventilator strategies in severe acute lung injury from H1N1 pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia.

In January of 2012, Dr Sundar joined the University of Utah as an Associate Professor (Clinical) in Department of Medicine and in July 2012 took over Directorship of the Sleep-Wake Center, University of Utah. One of his main goals as the Medical Director is to educate patients and providers in realizing the full potential of sleep in improving outcomes from chronic medical illnesses. Dr Sundar is American-Board certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine. His current research interests include the relationship between chronic lung disease and sleep apnea, improving sleep apnea care delivery models through collaborations with other providers and outcomes-based research looking at role of sleep optimization in chronic medical disorders. In addition to his role at the Sleep Wake Center, Dr Sundar also works at the South Jordan University of Utah where he supervises the asthma center and pulmonary outpatient care at the Daybreak facility.

I have complete confidence in Dr. Sundar! He is the most thorough sleep specialist I've ever seen!

February 27, 2013

I asked a question about the amount/level of mucus I was having and the concern I had about this. He did not respond. He seemed more interested in his concerns than mine.

Very good

I was most impressed with PA Britta. She was knowledgeable, professional and easy to talk tol

I've really had as much as I can stand dealing with Dr. Sundar & Total Respiratory Care.

December 26, 2012

I was thinking the whole visit was a waste of time because now I know what I need to do and I don't require any equipment or medication, but then told me of some classes that they are working on that would help me with exercises to help my condition, so I decided I would continue.

December 19, 2012

The PA-C I have seen is awesome. The facility itself for the sleep study could be upgraded. It would be nice if the individual sleep study rooms had their own bathroom with shower.

I like Dr. Sundar. He is detailed and thorough. He remembers details about me that I'd never expect him to remember. He seems very concerned about my over all health. The only thing I see as having room for improvement is the time it takes to get in (booked for 4-6 months.) Even that isn't quite as important since it's not necessary to see the doctor as often, for sleep disorders!

November 05, 2012

Overall a very good experience.

October 22, 2012

Even having 3 of my Granddaughters with me the Dr was able to make this a positive experience. Very impressed!

Graphics or illustrations of anotomy would have been better than the physician's sketch...great doctor...not so good of an artist

July 16, 2012

I'm very impressed with Dr. Sundar. He listens to what you have to say and is very thorough. He seems to think outside the box. I think he has a sense of humor under his professional hat, as he gets a little smile on his face when I'm trying to be funny.

June 12, 2012

This was my first meeting with Dr. Sundar. He is very patient and knowledgeable. I appreciate the time he took to answer my questions and include me in my care plan. Very nice man.

April 21, 2012

My care provider was the same person who let me in the door and took me to my room. She was helpful through the entire process. She said I will be getting a phone call to explain follow up care (CPAP machine, etc)

April 20, 2012

I was soooo thankful for the bottle of water in my room. The tech was nice, and put me at ease. I was a nervous wreck.

Dr wouldnt listen to anything I said
