"Patricia Sun is very professional and explained everything to m. She made sure all my questions were answered and never rushed me."
"I received excellent medical care. Dr. Bernsen ordered a test which my PCP did not. He also phoned me on SUNDAY morning with the results & ordered a prescription."
"I have been a patient for over 20 years in this practice. When Dr Cohen left the practice I started seeing Dr. Sun. She had been great . Very involved and knowledgeable."
"I’ve had many gastroenterologists that I have seen since I was 6 years old for my medical conditions. I’ve encountered many ER visits for my condition as well. I unfortunately haven’t had the best of luck with doctors. So seeing someone new makes me nervous. I always research who I end up seeing because I’ve encountered a lot of doctors who don’t listen. Who don’t believe me. Who brush my condition off because I’m young and I am not a forceful person. But dealing with a condition for 25 years, you learn a thing or two about it. I’ve had alot of guy gastroenterologists assigned to me after emergency visits that seem to not work out the best. I give the benefit of the doubt but end up having issues that never resolve.
Meeting Dr. Sun was life changing. She’s incredibly kind. She listened. I started tearing up talking to her because it’s been so long since I found a doctor that heard me. That didn’t talk over me. Didn’t try to in-put random things that didn’t pertain to me. She listened! I struggle eating food to the point food gets stuck daily. And to finally find someone who not only hears everything I have to say, but she cares! You can feel just how much she cares about her patients in the way she talks, it’s everything.
I will need to have a procedure done once elective surgeries are able to be performed due covid cases being too high right now. But I feel confident that when I have it done, she is the best person to do so!
Highly recommend her!"
".Dr. Sunil, Joseph,and staff are very caring, and HE is a caring doctor who is very thorough, and listens to his patients. He treats us with care, and doesn't see his parents as numbers. I'm grateful for this wonderful medical team of professionals!"
"Dr Sun is the Best Gastroenterologist
I ever had She is Outstanding in her field
She is just what a doctor Should be
Caring, compassionate, understanding, easy to talk to. Answers all you questions, she takes her time with you. She makes you feel comfortable
and that you are in good hands explains to you your problem in a way that you understand everything . She follows up with you
I can not say more because I can take pages and pages to express my admiration and appreciation that I have for this wonderful Doctor
She is a credit to the Illinois Gastroenterology Group
If all doctors were like her
I will never worry to see a doctor."
"Actually, I just found out that it was not Dr. Sun''s fault that I did not get my results, they were in mail right away. So, then not only did I get a call from the nurse, who shared the results over the phone, but also from administrative office, asking how they can remediate the situation. To me that is good customer service. So, I changed my review to what I feel they deserve and I am going to continue my follow up visits with this doctor.
Dr. Sun is awful. I got two procedures done two months ago, no communication about biopsy results. No communication whatsoever. Just sent the bill, no care, no concern, I would have given them 0 stars if it was possible. When I had to take time off work to call them, put me on hold for extended amount of time, and did not give me any results."
"Very timely and professional."
"It is so nice to have your results told to you by the actual doctor instead of some assistant that you don't even know..."
"Dr. Sun did a great job with my health exam. He explained everything to me in a very clear manner. He was also kind and friendly. Staff was great, too!
I am so glad I chose Illinois Gastroenterology Group: Elgin and would highly recommend to anyone."
"Patricia Sun is an excellent physician. She explained everything to me in detail and answered all of my questions. She made me feel comfortable and confident about my visits with her. I am very happy that she is my doctor. I would recommend her highly to anyone who needs her services including family and friends."
"Very warm and caring person. Dr. Sun carefully listens your complaints, take notes and asks many questions to understand your situation. I received the results from my tests the same day and received a follow up call almost immediately. Never felt so certain that my health is in the right hands."
"Dr Joseph has excellent bed side skills. He answered all my questions and made me feel as though I was important to him. I would highly recommend Dr Sunil Joseph."

"My mother has been a patient of Dr Sunbulli for over 35 years. He has saved her life. She has a rare condition and Dr Sunbulli was the only doctor that didn't brush her off and worked with her until a solution was found. As a result of the excellent service she received, my husband and I are also patients and we tell absolutely everyone who needs a GI doctor that Sunbulli is the doctor to go to.

"Dr. Sun and Sue, her nurse are very very good and I have the utmost trust in putting my health in their hands.

Does anyone have a suggestion?"

"having had G.I. problems my entire life, I have had occasion to work with many Gastroenterologists. I have seen both good and bad. Dr. Patricia Sun is one of the best. Her caring attitude, and true empathy for her patients "shine" through. Having these qualities added to a knowledgeable well educated professional who is very adept at her chosen field makes for a genuine "Home Run" I am glad that her relative youth (relative to me!) ensures that she will be able to continue to care for me for a long time. This has been my problem in the past. I have outlasted my previous Doctors which has been disheartening since the continuity of care lapsed. Dr. Sun is not only well versed in Gastroenterology, but she is able to incorporate her Internal Medicine background to care for the ENTIRE patient, not just a small part. I have no reservations recommending Dr. Sun for not only her professional skills but her charming and truly caring personality. Don't forget that one of the most important parts of a Dr's office is the support staff. This office is second to none. This is not hyperbole. From the front desk with Erin and Donna to Margarita, the office manager, to Natasha and Tatyana in the Nursing area. They "ROCK". I could go on forever, but i don't want to swell any more heads. Don't go anywhere else. This practice is it!!"
"Our Son's follow up visit with Dr. Sun
Was excellent & personal.
Thank you for your outstanding
services."
"Dr. Sun is amazing. She is very nice and I always receive the best care with Dr. Sun."
"I have been with Dr Sun for a few years and he and his staff have been amazing"
"I had Dr. Sun 2 years ago, who did my colonoscopy, who was so comforting explaining the result of the test, then this appointment I had with her last week 1/20/2021, I have to pray prior to the visit, that Dr. Sun will be the doctor im gonna see, and good enough she is the one who attended to me , who is very supportive especially with my medical issues & ordered tests but reassuring possible results, which 1 test is negative & the other test due in a year
1/2022 thank you very much for your good service care."
"Very thorough, quick waiting times at scheduled appointment s."
"Doctor Gambla listened to my concerns and did not just fluff off my issue as a weight issue. We haven't figured it out just yet, but I am confident we will. He works with the patient to figure things out."
"Made the transition from my old GI practice to new seamless and painless! Dr. Sun was highly recommended in a private group on social media and each review was true! She is tremendously kind, patient, and genuinely invested in her patients. Her office staff is just as amazing!! I loved my old doctor but had no support from the staff. This office is a completely different experience! I haven’t had to seek my own pre authorizations, I haven’t had to advocate for my infusion renewal, and perhaps most amazingly, they were able to help get me approved for an infusion co pay plan that I’ve been trying to get into since 2018. I cannot say enough about Dr. Sun and her practice and I’ve only been a patient since December 2020. I am so grateful to be with this doctor and this practice!"
"Very nice treatment. Professional and caring."
"I was very pleased with the manner I was taken care of the staff was very friendly and professional I felt at home and was impressed with the service I had two procedures done the same day and didn’t feel a thing great people great place everything was explained prior to entry I was confident all would go well"
"This was a pleasant experience here. This was my first time with Dr. Sun but he made me feel very comfortable. As usual for a colonoscopy, the worst part was the prep but after that the Elgin group made me very comfortable."
"Dr sun listens, is efficient and is extremely thorough"
"I have been very happy with the service and care that Dr. Sun has provided. She seems very knowledgeable and explained what she thinks we should do next. I like knowing a corse of action and having it explained to me."

"Dr Sun always makes me feel at ease."
"Dr. Sun was very easy going and took his time with explaining my colonoscopy results. He really explained everything that was going on and gave me two of his best treatment options which he ultimately left for me to decide. He was very welcoming and you can see how all of his experience has shaped him by just having one conversation with him"
"Honestly, he’s awesome. I’d been sick pretty much all year. I often get the run around from Dr’s because of my weight so I avoid them because they all just say, lose a few pounds. He took my concerns seriously. Scheduled a procedure and found out what I had in about a month. And it wasn’t even weight related at all. Really awesome Dr. I really am grateful for his service."
"Dr sun is simply amazing. The office as a whole is top notch and I would recommend this office to all!!!"
"The last GI doctor my husband and I had was the most egocentric, noncommunicative man I have ever met. He was rude, and horrible to deal with.
Then I met Dr. Wait.
Seriously the most down to earth, humble, caring specialist I have come across.
And, I've come across a lot of specialists in my time.
With a chronically ill child/young adult, and a family that carries the "Weird Stuff Gene," my exposure to specialists of all kinds over the last two decades has been immeasurable, to say the least.
Dr. Wait took the time to listen to my concerns, and asked questions that showed me she was taking my self diagnosis of a rectocele seriously.
In the end(no pun intended) Dr. Wait told me she agrees with my diagnosis, and referred me to another awesome specialist.
I will, with no qualms, always refer Dr. Wait to my friends and family for all of their GI needs😊"
"Doc saved my life and gave me a reason to keep going. Also the weight loss is incredibly awsome. I would recommend doc Khaiser to anyone whom wants the help. Thank you. See you soon."
"This practice is very knowledgeable, professional as well as, concerned with the well being of its patients. I highly recommend this practice as well as Dr. Sun. I have been seeing him for many many years."
"A true angel amongst the earth. Living up to the name doctor and taking care of the sick. Thanks to him for taking my son under his wing while others decided to video chat as far as 3 weeks, right away Dr Glaws knew he needed to be seen right away and in person. Thanks to him he's able to help my son get better and is moving quickly to get into the bottom of what's going on with him since he lost 20 pounds in one month not being able to eat because it was painful in his intestines, because of Dr Glaws he's more comfortable and can eat with minimal to no pain and is gaining weight again. Truly a blessing to our family, a true Hero for our son. We don't know how to ever repay you for taking care of our son. You have a heart of gold. A true example of a doctor. We need more doctors like you to keep our families healthy. MY SON THANKS YOU AND SAYS YOU'RE HIS HERO."
"Not only is Dr Sun an excellent physician, she also communicates very well leaving no questions unanswered. Great concern for her patients!.
Both my husband and I completely recommend Dr Sun!"
"Very happy with Dr. Sun. She was a great listener, and very patient while listening to me describe my symptoms - not condescending at all. Knowledgeable and encouraging."
"I had my appointment with Dr.Sun. We accomplished a great deal. I don’t have to come back for a while. I don’t have to have any procedures for at least a year."
"All was very positive and Dr. Sun takes her time."
"Dr.Sun is very kind and sensitive and really listens to your thoughts and concerns. Her staff is just as kind and helps make the process easier. I would highly recommend her."
"Dr Sun is extremely bright and a fantastic doctor!"
"Dr. Sun listened to what I had to say. She was compassionate and I felt very comfortable with her."
"Today I had my colonoscopy with Dr. Sun. I chose her because my health insurance has her rated as a Premium Quality Physician.
Dr. Sun has an excellent bedside manner. I was extremely nervous and terrified today about the having the procedure because my BFF in Detroit passed away from colon cancer just two weeks ago. I explained this to Dr Sun then she unexpectedly held my hand and assured me she was going to take good care of me. This sincere and very kind gesture made me feel comfortable and at ease because I was a bundle of nerves. Her nurse Mary Beth put a cold compress on my forehead to further calm me down which worked. After the procedure was finished Dr. Sun came back to me and gave me my results she held my hand again. Not only is Dr Sun a very highly skilled physician but she is also very caring. I highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about having a colonoscopy. I also must mention Marie also on her staff was very professional and courteous when I called to set up the appointment and she gave detailed information on preparing for the procedure. Marie did not mind that I called her back several times to make sure I was doing everything correctly to prepare for the procedure."
"Terrific place to go if you have tummy troubles. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My doctor is wonderful she is very caring and thorough. She actually listens to you and never makes you feel rushed. She explains everything perfectly. I am so happy I have found Dr Sun"
