I would recommend Dr. Sunkara to anyone needing a hematologist. He explains my diagnosis and treatment in a way I understand. He is patient when answering my questions. He even politely told me I needed to do better because I waited too long between appointments.

Before our visit with Dr. Sunkara, I watched his YouTube video and he came across as likeable and trustworthy. During our office visit, he seemed genuinely concerned about my Mom's issues and did an outstanding job of explaining the tests that he recommended to identify her problem. Seeing how difficult it is for Mom to go for doctors visits, he suggested our next visit be a televisit, which is a great option for us.
