I have lived all over the US and I have never found a more thorough doctor than Dr. Rachel Sunne. You never feel rushed through the appointment. She will offer several options of treatment and never talks over your head. Some doctors you feel intimidated by, but Dr. Sunne is like talking to a friend. She is the BEST!

Very good thanks

Dr Rachel Sunne and I have had an amazing rapport since she became my Primary Doctor.I have had some uncommon health developments over the years and Dr Sunne has always referred me to specialized doctors who were able to provide treatments when we couldn't achieve a good treatment from her clinic office. Listen, I have had poor experiences with medical doctors and trusting doctors was something that wasn't easy for me, but I have felt Dr Rachel Sunne was trustworthy from the beginning and I continue to tell her that. I have never felt as if I was just another patient for her, there has always felt like a rare doctor and patient bond exists between us and I trust her with my life.

Dr. Sunne is always amazing. She is so kind and understanding. This appt was for me, but even in past appts for my daughter's I am always blown away by her ability to listen, understand, and not show any judgements for what she is being told. She is wonderful in her role.

Dr was very kind and considerate very knowledgeable
September 16, 2025
Dr. Sunne heard all our concerns and questions about surgery and some differing opinions we had received from surgeons, she took the time to call the surgeon get more information and help us translate it all into English! We left feeling confident in our other forward! Confident in the surgeon we choose and with greater understanding of what was coming our way. She was absolutely amazing!!! We would probably still be waiting on surgery or going back and forth to sioux falls instead of a week into healing already if it hadn't been for her help!
