Sun Karen, MD

I am a former breast cancer patient and I have been going to Dr Sun for 10 years for bio identical hormone replacement therapy pellets. I went into menopause early, in my late thirties, due to the mastectomy. For many years no Dr would give me hormone replacement. At age 42 my Dr in Arizona told me I had the hormones of an 80 year old woman. I had experienced vaginal atrophy, osteoporosis, and extreme fatigue. The hormone replacement therapy reversed all of these problems and I have life again thanks to Dr Karen Sun and her courage and expertise in treating a post cancer patient.
Hormone replacement therapy is a little expensive since insurance companies don’t cover it for females, but if you can at all afford it is worth doing.
Dr SUN offers free seminars so that you can learn about hormone replacement therapy and what it can do for you. I highly encourage anyone who suffers menopausal symptoms, to take advantage of this opportunity in Dr Sun’s expertise.

I love Dr. Sun but it took me forever to get checked out. The lady at that desk was not very accommodating but more confrontational. When I suggested what I was told by the doctor, she seemed irritated by my suggestions. Fortunately the doctor came by and backed me up. She should have offered to check with Dr Sun as well not leaving me alone at the desk.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sun for about a year +. I was suffering with low energy, sleeplessness and hot flashes. I received the hormone pellet and i felt like my normal self again! I thank Dr. Sun for helping me understand what was going on with my body. Although my insurance doesn’t cover this type of health wellness, it should since so many women suffer in silence. In my opinion it is worth the $.

Dr. Sun is very knowledgeable but is ridiculously expensive. The prices for the pellet therapy is beyond what the average person can afford. They do not take insurance and we must do our own insurance paperwork. The result is a very low reimbursement for the Doctor visit only not the pellet therapy. I also did not feel different after my last pellet and felt really ripped off since it did not help me at all. I have not had pellet therapy since then.

I have been going to Dr. Sun for a few years. When I started I wrote in my medical history that I had fibroid tumors. My care, though expensive because she doesn’t take insurance anymore, has been relatively good up until recently when she placed a dose of estrogen in my hip. Almost immediately I began to menstruate very hard. I have not had a period for over two years but the dose she gave me put me over the edge. When I told her and her staff that I had a history of fibroid tumors they looked surprised almost like… oooops. They gave me some medication to stop the bleeding but it’s been over a month and I can’t stop taking the pills or I will start menstruating all over again with cramps and exhaustion all part of the package. Did they ever call me back to see how I was doing? Nope. I’m really disappointed because when you are there they act like they really care… but out of sight, out of mind.
So I now have an appointment with another doctor to get a second opinion. I don’t know what the outcome will be but I can’t go on indefinitely depending on these pills.

Dr Sun ‘s specialty is the bio identical hormone replacement. She is the only doctor I’ve found that offers the pellets for testosterone and estrogen replacement. I’ve used the pellets for 5 years, and really like how good I feel on them.
Due to her specialty and amount of time she spends with patients, she no longer accepts any insurance, which is a big draw back for me. I would not use her for this reason if it weren’t for the pellets she offers. Go to her website for more information.
If you are having hormone issues, menopause issues, peri– menopause issues, go see Dr Sun.

Dr Karen Sun is the best doctor I have ever had. After seeing 17 other doctors and 2 years of being sick and in pain, she saved me and brought me back to health. I was deathly ill and she took the time to figure out what many things were making me sick and created my plan to get better. She paid attention and found what 17 other doctors were not able to see or correlate. She actually took the time to teach me what was happening, why it was happening, and how I could get better. I thank Dr. Sun for listening to me and hearing my symptoms and for not dismissing as others did and for connecting the dots to bring me back to health. I am healed, I feel amazing, and my daily pain is gone — I will be forever grateful for Dr. Sun.
As for the last post, my experiences with the front office staff have been quite different. I found them to be the most knowledgeable front office staff I have ever dealt with. I am overly impressed with Yvonne, the wise Chinese lady, as she could solve my complex issues over the phone and I didn’t have to wait a week or come in to talk to Dr. Sun and she ALWAYS calls you back which is rare in today’s world.
I am sorry the last person was turned off by the fact that the office did not want to overbook appointments when they were already busy and did not want their other patients to wait. I actually appreciate not waiting and especially in light of the fact that the Flu shot is neither critical or Dr. Sun’s core business. It actually makes more sense to go to a walk-​in clinic that they have at many local CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, or Grocery Stores where they have all the supplies on hand and is cheaper to do.

Dr. Sun used to be my primary doctor for several years before we switched.
Its actually too bad b/​c Dr. Sun is a pretty good doctor. But we could no longer tolerate the front desk. The Chinese lady working the front desk was consistently rude. the last time my wife visited and asked about scheudling for a flu shot the lady said «we are really busy that week, why don’t you go to the city’s free clinic?»
really?
