UofU Patient February 24, 2014
Great experience with PA and staff
UofU Patient January 16, 2014Dr. Sundar is a great physician- he let me answer ask questions, provided easy to understand answers, and had a nice balance of asking me my opinion and giving me his opinion. Very kind, caring person who made me feel a lot better about the future.
UofU Patient January 03, 2014I really appreciated how Dr. Willis promised me that she would inform me of my x-ray results as soon as she got them. She fulfilled that promise.
UofU Patient December 26, 2013The dr would ask me questions but then he didn't elaberate on why the information he was asking was imporatant or why he was concerened. I felt as though I did come away with any more information than I went in with. I have confidence in the sleep wake center but there is not reason why I would recommend this particular dr
UofU Patient December 12, 2013This was my first visit and the Doctor needed to obtain my medical records from my previous doctor.
UofU Patient December 08, 2013I was not told what was going on next in the process. They did not tell me that the doctor would have to go through the test results or anything. It would be nice to at least been told that I would have to wait or something. They gave me no iformation what so ever.
UofU Patient November 21, 2013Dr. Sundar does not exude any kind of friendliness. I felt as though I was just another person on the factory line that he was seeing. There was no smile, no personal touch to our discussion in any way. I left feeling I was doing better medically but there was no explanation of what I needed to do going forward.
UofU Patient October 29, 2013The doctor just got right to the point. I loved his explanations.
UofU Patient October 27, 2013all went well
UofU Patient October 14, 2013I have many severe problems and had to push to have them considered and there was no interest or concern express in regards to how these problems might affect the test and certainly no explanation to me if my problems (including sever back pain and my concerns about taking the sleeping pill) would affect the test.
UofU Patient October 08, 2013Great!
UofU Patient October 03, 2013My experience has been great. Good enough to recommended my husband who is now under his care.
UofU Patient September 24, 2013I would recommend Dr. Sundar but at the same time, warn people that it takes a long time to get in and plan on being there for a couple of hours.
UofU Patient July 29, 2013I feel very confident about the doctor's knowledge and his ability to help me.
UofU Patient July 19, 2013Provider is very thorough
UofU Patient July 05, 2013I felt that the doctor did not care as much about me as the doctor that saw me previously. He told me that a tech would see me shortly about a new mask, however, left me in the waiting room and probably did not inform the tech that I had been in the office for an hour already.
UofU Patient June 27, 2013very good experience
UofU Patient June 25, 2013Dr. Sundar drew images, explained sleep apnea causes in detail, and answered all of my questions. I had indicated on my form that I wanted to see the doctor after my sleep night, since I was unusually cold restless and wanted to ask if that could affect the diagnosis. The doctor left a message, but only mentioned follow-up about getting equipment. I'm not sure what to do. Aside from that, Dr. Sundar has a very good presence in addition to being highly informative.
UofU Patient June 21, 2013Dr. Had no interest in discussing the issues I wanted to discuss. Was focused on other issues that are hard to worry about without primary resolved. In my opinion Dr. Was suggesting I self medicate the primary issue to work on secondary issue.
UofU Patient June 17, 2013Dr Sundar is kind, caring and competent. He took the time to not only explain results of my testing, but also to consider other options for treating my problem, even unrelated to his specialty. He even called a colleague for advise after my visit and followed up with me by email. This was by far the best medical visit I have had in a year of 'doctoring' for a chronic condition.
UofU Patient June 10, 2013I was told to prepare for a 1.5-2 hour appointment. I waited for well over an hour and spent about 15 minutes with the doctor. I had spent hours putting together the patient packet, but it was barely glanced at. He was obviously rushed and preoccupied.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013I have complete confidence in Dr. Sundar! He is the most thorough sleep specialist I've ever seen!
UofU Patient February 27, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient February 20, 2013Very good
UofU Patient February 18, 2013I was most impressed with PA Britta. She was knowledgeable, professional and easy to talk tol
UofU Patient January 23, 2013I've really had as much as I can stand dealing with Dr. Sundar & Total Respiratory Care.
UofU Patient December 26, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient December 19, 2012The 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.
UofU Patient December 18, 2012took month before initial findings to appt
UofU Patient November 20, 2012I 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!
UofU Patient November 05, 2012Overall a very good experience.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012Even having 3 of my Granddaughters with me the Dr was able to make this a positive experience. Very impressed!
UofU Patient September 18, 2012Fantastic provider
UofU Patient September 18, 2012Need follow-thru.
UofU Patient September 17, 2012Over all, a great experience.
UofU Patient September 03, 2012Dr. Sundar was efficient but very engaged and attentive, offered extensive explanations about my problem.
UofU Patient September 02, 2012Very caring, provided excellent explanations
UofU Patient August 02, 2012Graphics or illustrations of anotomy would have been better than the physician's sketch...great doctor...not so good of an artist
UofU Patient July 16, 2012I'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.
UofU Patient June 12, 2012This 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.
UofU Patient April 21, 2012My 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)
UofU Patient April 20, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient April 09, 2012Dr wouldnt listen to anything I said
