I had a great experience with Dr. Douglas Sudae. He was very kind, professional, and extremely helpful throughout my visit. From the moment we started, he made me feel calm and relaxed, which I truly appreciated. I was especially impressed by how thorough he was when reviewing my medical history. You can tell he genuinely puts his patients’ best interests first. He does not recommend any unnecessary surgery and takes the time to explain everything clearly and honestly. I initially went to see him for a burn injury, but if I ever consider having any work done in the future, he will definitely be at the top of my list. His staff was okay, but Dr. Sudae himself really stood out.

Dr. Sunde and his staff are experienced and help with every aspect of the journey. Dr. Sunde's bedside manner is excellent. He takes all the time needed before, during, and after surgery, including making a house call the night of surgery to check on the patient. The results of my surgery are excellent. Not too much, just a nice, refreshed look—just what I asked for.

I was impressed with every aspect of my visit to Dr. Sunde's office. The staff was so pleasant and professional. Dr. Sunde spent over an hour with me explaining everything about the cosmetic surgery I was interested in. I am a nurse myself and appreciated Dr. Sunde taking the time he did with me to answer all my questions.

Dr. Sunde spent lots of time explaining the procedure and encouraged calling with any questions or concerns that I might have at any time. He is honest, caring and an excellent surgeon. He regularly called to check on me after the surgery. I couldn't be more pleased with my results. I look very natural and my family & friends think I look great. I had had a consultation with another doctor, whom I later discovered, wasn't even a board certified plastic surgeon, and was going to cost me over twice as much. I didn't have a good feeling about that doctor, and then a friend suggested Dr. Sunde. Thank goodness! His office and staff are wonderful, the Monterey surgery center was great and I had a very positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Sunde.
