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.

I presented at the ER with abdominal pain and they suspected appendicitis. After some testing they were moving towards admitting me and doing an appendectomy. The ER MD was hesitant to push me into surgery because I didn't have a fever one of the symptoms of appendicitis. He wanted to wait but Dr. Sunshine said lets take it out. After the surgery Dr Sunshine told me that it wasn't my appendix but was a little piece of fat wrapped around a nerve causing me the pain. I guess he needed the work.

About Me

care philosophy

Focused on exact diagnosis, associated problems and how to perform the procedure safely. Like to give as much or as little detail as the patient/family would like. We are not reluctant to delay a procedure if more workup is required to enhance safety.
