Dr. Peter Sunenshine, MD

My mother had a crushed vertebrae and needed kyphoplasty. She was in extreme pain and delusional with pain meds but within 12 hours of the surgery she was a new person and now, 48 hours later, pain free and back almost 90%.

I had a second opinion consult with Dr. Sunenshine based on recommendations from spinal CSF leakers in Phoenix. The consult was infinitely better than my experience at Duke where my assigned doctor (Kranz) had spent the consult staring into a corner vacantly then laughed and sent me away when I asked for care due to the new CSF leak that the unsupervised Duke student who did my CTM had given me. Dr. Sunenshine's team did an excellent review of my history--again, miles ahead of Duke's abilities. Dr. Sunenshine actually reviewed my imaging with me instead of staring into a corner, noted the calcification that the Duke student missed (and Kranz did not note until after he sent me away) and also pointed out a nerve root that Kranz missed. My only hesitation was the lack of believing the patient abt my addtl leaks, esp where a local dr rammed me in the spine during a blood patch & I felt the CSF trickle down my back post-op. (This was covered up as the local dr attempted an assault post op)

I am a physician myself. Dr. Sunenshine has successfully treated my large cerebral aneurysm. His technical skill and clinical judgement are superb. He is constantly updating his knowledge and procedures, so I have received the best evidence-based care every step of the way. I believe he is the reason I have made a full recovery.

Had a ruptured aneurysm in 2013 and Dr. Sunenshine coiled it when the Dr who normally treats aneurysm would not touch it due to vascular dysplagia. Dr. Sunenshine spent 2 hours trying to find the source of the bleed and then repaired it with a coil. I am in the top1% for recovery and survival of an aneurysm bleed. Additionally, he was leaving on a Thanksgiving vacation to Hawaii next day and stayed passed midnight to accomplish all of this. He saved my life. He is a wonderful man/physician.

Dr. Sunenshine saved my life, my mother had died of an aneurysm on her brain at 48. I started having mild head aches and my doctor ordered an MRI, I was referred to Dr. Sunenshine and he and his staff were wonderful, turns out only 1 aneurysm showed in the tests, but Dr. Sunenshine was prepared and put those little stretchy sleeves on both. Now I live in the "Sun shine state" and would fly to Phoenix to do any additional surgery if it were ever necessary. Thanks doctor!!

I would absolutely recommend Dr Sunenshine, he saved my life. Not only repairing one aneurysm but finding a second one and repair that one 2 weeks later. I have been told I was a miracle to survive but would not have if it hadn't been for him and his staff, just amazing.

Not too thrilled with him I had 5 surgeries grim him and he wasn't too great at diagnosing how to elevate my blood pressure... I had to tell the nurse I had low blood pressure and low blood sugar all my life then they started reducing my meds and I ended up with elevated blood pressure... Then he gave me too much contrast in the last 2 angiogram and my mouth blistered really bad... It took over a month both times to heal in my mouth... Beware of him....
