Dr. Sun is very thorough. She reviewed everything prior to my virtual visit. While we don't have any answers for my issues, I believe Dr. Sun did a thorough job in search for answers and spent a great amount of time explaining everything and making a huge effort to figure it out. I think that she is a great doctor and highly recommend.
