My mom crushed her shoulder. She was in excellent health at 85, and very active. Three surgeons declined doing surgery, didn't even come to examine her. Dr. Sullivan looked at her as a person, evaluated her overall health, explained everything very thoroughly. She recovered very well and is still very active.

I don't feel like he really cares about his patients because I got a call the day before my appointment and was told he wouldn't see me because he didn't see me in the emergency room.

My primary care physician referred me to Dr. Sullivan. I met with him in early December regarding my knee. He thoroughly reviewed my MRI with me and carefully explained every treatment option. Dr. Sullivan is very professional, courteous and fully answers all questions questions in terms that laymen can understand. I highly recommend him.
