      Dr. Sullivan has been a reliable,caring, genuine provider for me for over 32 years, but he has gotten too skinny and needs to put on some weight!

      Dr. Sullivan is always great about asking questions about how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking about any given decision. He shares lots of information about the medical side of things as well as his input from years of experience to allow me to make an informed decision that I feel comfortable with. He also does a great job of building rapport with patients and his sense of humor and kindness put me at ease.
