What patients say
Vibe: clinical
Deeply polarized reviews with stark contrast between positive and negative experiences. While some patients praise Dr. Sunny's conservative approach and gentle care, a significant majority report rough treatment, unnecessary procedures, poor communication, and serious billing/insurance issues. Staff quality varies by individual (hygienists consistently praised, dentist and billing highly criticized). Multiple allegations of overtreatment and misdiagnosis raise credibility concerns.
