Both times I've seen him, he didn't want to hear from me. Instead, he based his treatment on information in the computer. Then, he talked at me. That information was helpful, but I felt like I had to elbow my way into the conversation to voice my concerns. He would still often interrupt me. His main concern seemed to be to move through the appointment as quickly as possible.

Dr. Sundaresh is a skilled and pleasant provider. On this visit, as on the last visit, he did not seem to have any idea of the current state of my health. It's complicated and I've had several events this past year that should be considered in any treatment going forward, including many medications and changes to medication. It seemed that Dr. Sundaresh had not looked at my record until he walked into the room. The visit was pretty much pointless. Thankfully, I am also being followed by Rheumatology and feel confident that they can assist with osteoporosis issues along with everything else.

There was no discussion regarding what to expect with surgery, recovery time, long-term care/treatment, medications I may need to take. None of that was discussed. I'm guessing I'll learn that from the surgical team...whenever they finally contact me.
