Why he chose joint replacement as a specialty
Joint replacement surgery is one of the most successful operations in orthopedics because a good clinical outcome can be achieved. There is no better feeling of accomplishment than seeing a patient walk for the first time in years after debilitating chronic arthritis.
Dr. Sun’s Mission Statement
I am a conservative surgeon who values the physician-patient relationship. I believe in coming up with a personalized treatment plan together with patients and trying all non-operative options before considering surgery. I want to be there for the patient every step of the way from his/her first clinic visit to appointments years after joint replacement surgery. My goal is to be every patient’s life-long physician.
