Described really well the condition. When it came time for treatment and next steps, there was none. Just scheduled the sleep study with no information on what to expect for the sleep study or what occurs next if diagnosed or not diagnosed. Still left in the dark about next steps except that I have to wait another 3 months to get back in to see him.

The provider normally has a resident that is training be a participant at my yearly appointment. This time I met with the resident first and she had a lot of questions for me. The doctor showed up for a final decision on medication only. The appointment was longer then expected due to questions by PA that checked me in, questions by resident and finally the doctor. When I have an appointment with the doctor I would really like to have time with him alone. For the last 3 years there is always someone in the appointment to be a part of my appointment and this year to meet with me without the doctor. I don't like this method and it makes the appointments very long.

Dr. Sundar spent a great deal of time to listen to my concerns and to give very cogent explanations. He has those magic qualities of listener, gentle questioner, firm and supportive advice. (I would like to have someone with hjis style for my GP).

UofU Patient

I would definitely recommend Dr. Sundar and his staff to other patients. My experience with him and the other doctors was nothing less than exceptional. All the doctors were very professional, very caring and very thorough. I was especially impressed how they counseled together among themselves and with me. I felt important and I could see the respect they had for each other. This was likely one of the best experience I have had in my life in interacting with physicians.
UofU Patient
September 15, 2016
The physician just seemed very uninterested throughout the visit. No connection.
UofU Patient
September 12, 2016
I would like to discuss and understand more about the reports the Doctor gets from my SD card in my CPAP machine.
UofU Patient

I appreciated that Dr. Sundar spent time reviewing the various different aspects of my health that contribute to lack of energy and sleepiness.
UofU Patient
September 06, 2016
It was unclear to me when the Doctor left the room what I was supposed to do. I tried to clarify it with the receptionist and ask if someone else could come and clarify my questions. She didn't get it. It was all done in a way I did not understand. The person who helped me was in a hurry and did not take time to explain it so I completely understood. It basically was a waste of almost 2 hours of my day.

I am very grateful for Dr. Sundar. I have been thru a lot and I feel he pays attention to what I say and he helps me understand my condition. plus with everything I've been thru, I love the fact he is a Pulmonaologist and I appreciate the attention he pays to my already damaged lungs.

Dr Sundar seemed to be rushed and answered none of my questions. He did not explain the results of my past mints on CPAP and what problems had shown up. Just the one reason to try a different type of mask. Fir the first time I left disappointed and frustrated.

UofU Patient
April 22, 2016
being a fat person all my life, I can tell when a doctor is not comfortable with me. this doctor was not! thanks to Dr. Williams being with him, I didn't feel like walking out. When he kept asking fat questions that made me feel really uncomfortable. When he asked if I felt better after I lost weight before, you don't know how bad I wanted to say, no, that's why I gained all my weight back! Everyone plans to be fat!?
UofU Patient

I could tell he felt that my sleep apnea was at a stable place with the CPAP. But be cause I had concerns regarding my drowsiness during the day, he seemed to take that seriously and ordered for me to have an oximeter for a night just to double check. I appreciated this.

Dr. Krishna seems knowledgeable and caring. He seems to get on the same level with me and tries to understand my questions. He does mention weight loss, but does not do so in a demeaning way. He also is very willing to answer any questions or concerns and take care of any problems that I may have.

It wasn't a bad experience...But they changed doctors on me with no prior notice.

Dr. Sundar and his sleep technician have totally turned me in a positive direction. This was following a failed experience with another doctor over the past 18 months. I can't say enough good about what Dr. Sundar has done for me.
UofU Patient
October 27, 2014
good
UofU Patient
October 24, 2014
Because of prior experience with a care provider in another system, I was skeptical about being helped. Dr. Sundar listened with care, pondered past attempts by a previous provider without criticizing, and zeroed in on "next steps" that make sense. I am very pleased.
UofU Patient
October 08, 2014
Provider explained what to expect for the upcoming test.
UofU Patient
October 05, 2014
Again some questions in the survey were not applicable. I came in to have a check up on my CPAP and to see if there was any need for changes. Medications were not discussed because it was not part of the check up. Not all that much time was required for the visit in the first place as this was not a first visit about a newly discovered condition.
UofU Patient
September 05, 2014
I like the doctor. It seemed to me he re-iterated much of the same information to me as he did in my last visit. The data from the sleep machine was good, but I was wondering if the meeting was necessary as it seemed like a re-hash of the last visit except for the CPAP data.
UofU Patient
September 02, 2014
Excellent attention to the condition and very caring. Soft spoken and explained the problem and the treatment option very clearly.
UofU Patient
August 29, 2014
I had problems after leaving and the Dr. talked to me again and called late in the evening. they also called me the next day.

UofU Patient
July 20, 2014
The doctor was very friendly land seemed very willing to listen to my concerns. He drew a diagram to help me understand the process and answered my questions thoroughly. He also did not seem negative about how weight issues could be affecting my sleep, but instead assured me that if sleep apnea is occurring, weight loss is even more difficult until sleep is under control. In going to this appointment, I was worried the health provider might just say "lose weight and you won't have this issue" so it was very reassuring.

I have recommend my mother and have scheduled an appointment with doctor Sundar.
UofU Patient
May 09, 2014
The doctor is very knowledgeable, professional and polite, but maybe not interested in my case? I would have liked more information on the download from my bipap/asv machine and my current condition. The bipap machine is still not working well for me, and he didn't mention any other solutions to getting me better sleep. He did contact the department to which he referred me, which is much appreciated. It's just frustrating because no one seems to think my problems are urgent, and I keep getting passed on to someone else (not just at the U of U Sleep Clinic.) Maybe my expectations are unreasonable, but I keep hoping for a doctor who will take responsibility for my case and make sure I get in to see the appropriate doctors and get the correct tests. Like I said, this is not just the U of U sleep/wake center. I've gone through this over and over with other doctors and clinics. The longer I'm ill and exhausted, the harder it is to keep trying to get help. I want to give up, but can't.
UofU Patient
April 18, 2014
Dr. Sundar is very kind and very thorough. My conditions are varied and complicated. He takes his time asking lots of good questions before making a decision on how to proceed. He is also very good about following up by phone with me. I really like him and I really like his approach.
UofU Patient
March 20, 2014
I would only recommend this facility if it was a nicer place to visit!
UofU Patient
March 20, 2014
After the appointment, I was a bit confused about why I am taking this new medication. Dr. Sundar suggested that we might see about cutting back on the other medications I'm taking now. Not sure if the new meds are meant to eventually replace current meds. I would be worried about that because the current medications are working so well. So, I'm confused about what the new medication is for. I thought it was intended to make the current medications more effective(?)
UofU Patient
March 18, 2014
Dr. Sundar is so dang awesome. He asked a ton of good questions, and really listened to my responses. He didn't interrupt and was very pleasant and patient. He made good recommendations, and was not in a rush at all. I could tell he really cared about me as a person, and wanted what was best. He also tried to eliminate things that weren't helpful or unnecessary. I would recommend him to anyone.

This was my first visit and the Doctor needed to obtain my medical records from my previous doctor.
UofU Patient
December 08, 2013
I 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, 2013
Dr. 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

I 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
July 05, 2013
I 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, 2013

UofU Patient
June 25, 2013
Dr. 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, 2013
Dr. 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, 2013
Dr 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, 2013
I 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
November 20, 2012
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!

Dr wouldnt listen to anything I said
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.
