Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Here’s a doctor and an office that really gets it. Dr. Sundine knows his stuff (he’s board certified in plastic surgery), but he’s also down-to-earth enough to understand things from the patient’s perspective and explain things in terms that everyone can understand. For example, when I didn’t understand the anatomy of the nose, he not only explained it, he drew it all out on paper and showed me each step of the process. This doc and his office are top notch.

Terrible experience and warning others to beware to not use his services. Very unprofessional office and so disappointed when I wasted 5 weeks of time/money preparing with pre-op tests, purchasing Rx, etc. and having my surgery cancelled less than 24 hrs before surgery as the Dr went out of town. Shocking and unlike anything I could even imagine from a Dr.

DR. SUNDINE IS AN EXCELLENT FACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON, BUT NOT A GOOD BODY SURGEON. I was a patient for 5 years. He did excellent facial work, but questionable body reconstructive surgery.... ... leaving me with considerable loose skin, etc. (even though I did 't lose or gain more than 5 pounds). The main problem however was his office staff: his wife, Toni, was his office manager and sole office staff. She often was moody, volatile, rude and extremely controlling.

I immediately saw beautiful results! You can tell he is very passionate about his work and truly cares about your well being. Never have I ever felt this comfortable with a doctor. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor for laser treatment.

Dr. Sundine is excellent; I recommend him to anyone in need for Plastic or Reconstructive Surgery. I was left with a major cosmetic issue as a result of cancer surgery and sought help from Dr. Sundine. He explained my options in easily-understandable terms and spent quite a bit of time explaining the details and what I could expect. He always has time for any and all questions. He made a difficult process much easier. I found him to be a very competent surgeon and a great person.
