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.

Dr. Sandaresh was kind enough to see me in person during this Covid-19 pandemic and limited contact with patients as I was in the clinic for a DEXA scan already.

I am still a bit unclear as to whether my treatment options (Forteo and Tymbos) are 2 separate options or would be used in conjunction (at the same time). Also these are apparently specialty medications and cannot be filled by my local CVS. Until prior authorization is given, I have no idea how much they will cost.

Very little time was actually spent discussing my current health. Much of the time was spent with the provider saying why I should switch my care to my primary care physician. I think the provider should have asked me why I have been going to this clinic despite the distance I have to travel. I think he should have asked me more about my history as well considering I hadn't seen him before, at least not regularly. Although he was nice, I left the appointment feeling unsettled and disappointed.

The doctor was very kind and informative and spent plenty of time with me and answered all questions. Thank good ness the University Health Care group allows him to do this. Several of my physicians at IHI have taken early retirement because of IHc's new policy of computer oriented short visits with patients....and I had a terrible outcome as a result from my internist there and I then happily transferred to the Madsen Clinic where I got the same nice treatment I got from this visit with my new endocrinologist.

UofU Patient
July 15, 2017
again I rated based on my experience with the time spent with the doctor I specifically scheduled to see and there wasn't a lack of seeing him. rather it wasn't a resident that took care of my appointment from beginning to pretty much the end without warning. the resident way very pleasant and knowledgeable. I felt I spent wasted time waiting while he conferred with my doctor and again I only saw my doctor at the very end. I honestly can't base my confidence or give a knowledgeable opinion on Dr Sunderesh as I didn't get the chance to get to know him or his thoughts... outside of we will decide more at the next visit and he was pleased with my A1C so therefore my shoes I feel are probably not fair at the moment.

Dr. Sundaresh has been amazing to work with. When my general practitioner first told me that I had nodules and needed to be seen by a specialist, he referred me to another endocrinologist. My experience with that Dr was miserable and I left discouraged and in tears. When I found Dr. Sundaresh, I felt like he truly listened to me and my concerns. He explains things in a way that eases my mind and makes me feel confident in him as a Dr. I appreciate him and the time he takes with me and the concern he has for me.

I love the fact that he is also monitoring my case through lab work and results- Thank you Dr Sunderesh for your caring

UofU Patient
July 22, 2016
Dr. Sundaresh was very professional, kind and attentive. He explained the reason why he was going to discontinue my treatment, and I was very concerned about his recommendation as I've been dealing with my condition for 12+ years and it has taken as long to improve my condition. He knew I was concerned and took the time to explain the side effects and rationale for his recommendation. I asked him several questions, and he patiently explained my answers and asked if I had any additional questions. He reassured me that if my symptom occurred again that he would request diagnostic tests to get new results and if test is positive will immediately resume my treatments. After dealing with multiple annual fractures for the past 12 years, I told him why I was reluctant to stop my medication. He alleviated my fears by explaining that it would be good to see if my condition maintains or regresses, and it was good to give my system a break. His explanations and concern helped reduce my anxiety, as I know some physicians seem irritated if a patients asks about their recommendations.

UofU Patient
March 06, 2016
As usual, was encouraging and positive about my efforts to lower my ANC and blood sugar readings-felt like I was "understood" and not judged.
UofU Patient
March 06, 2016
I've been to several specialists, over the last couple of years especially, trying to figure out what is going on with my health, and this visit is easily the best experience I've had. He was very knowledgeable, both about possibilities he might help with as well as treatment I'm currently getting from my neurologist. I also felt like he actually did a thorough examination and actually listened to what I had to say, where most doctors seem to throw a lot out of the window as coincidence or something they don't think is important. I also liked that he kind of seemed to think out loud, or at least enough that I could follow his train of thought and understand the things he was looking into as possibilities and places to start.
UofU Patient

Dr. Sundaresh gave me an explanation of why my low-normal TSH levels were not a concern for a post-Graves disease patient who experiences a return of symptoms from time to time with frustratingly normal labs. No other doctor has been able to express this to me.
UofU Patient
February 02, 2016
I really love Dr. Jones, however Dr. Sundaresh had a high degree of expertise in my condition, as well as proactively following up to suggest a medication change that might address some of my outstanding issues.
UofU Patient
January 26, 2016
He said he would call me on Monday after my results came in. I took off work so I wouldn't miss his call. He never called me. He discredited anything I would ask him or tell him.
UofU Patient
January 18, 2016
In this instance, I assume the care provider was the tech who did the Dexa procedure. She was kind, always courteous and caring. She answered each question I had and I felt confident she knew what she was doing. I always recommend the University providers to others.
