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.

Look somewhere else
She seems nice at first but with time you see her true colors. The Nurse Practitioners take more time with my son than she does. Anything the baby is going through she says its normal. She rushes all the appts and doesn’t even remember who your child is. Just look somewhere else for doctor who will care, if you want in and out service she’s the person to see.

She's very facetious and condescending in nature. That alone makes her undesirable. If I can communicate legitimate concerns, fears or questions without being treated like I'm stupid then I don't need to bring my baby here. She smiles at you making it appear she's kind then she responds as though your incompetent for even asking. Her answers area always dumb and obvious rather than informative. Me: "my baby is vomiting a lot" Her: "then wipe it up what do you expect". This is a real example, clearly I was looking for more insight to explore any issues with digestion... If she felt it was normal at this age then she should've said it without being a jerk. She has real snide tone and attitude. Her front staff are not well groomed for their positions either.

Dr. Sunku seem great at first, but not realizing that her niceness was sarcasm. As a young mother i had soo many questions and so much fear whenever my duaghter was sick. She would respond with "ma'am she is a baby, she will be okay". I would always worry that she was sick, and she made it seem like I was over-reacting. I must add, if you want positive feedback from your doctor this is not the place either. She will ask you things in a negative matter as if you were incompetent.

VERY WELCOMING! I have been taking my twins to see Dr. Sunku since they were 6 months - current. now they are 2yrs old. Our visits with her are always professional. She always makes my children feels comfortable. Also, very patient, responsive and personal. Always responds to a patient request on a professional timely manner. I would recommend anyone to her. Great staff and atmosphere.

She is very unprofessional! She refuses to service patients when sick. Is not personable with the kids and is very nasty when asked questions. She is always training someone so you never get undivided attention cause she talks like you aren't in the room. Very quick to put on antibiotics and misdiagnose patients. I do not recommend any parents to allow their child to see her. She shouldn't be allowed to treat kids. Such a shame.
