My son was diagnosed with tethered cord. Dr. Sun performed the surgery and there was no complication after the surgery. My son is now an active and healthy toddler! I cannot express enough appreciation to Dr. Sun. He saved my son and my family! I truly recommend him because 1.Dr. Sun performs a lot of surgeries 2.He is willing to listen, explain and adjust his plan. 3.He is the one who performs surgeries 4.He is extremely careful. 5.Others told me Dr. Sun always took as much time as he needed.
