    I transferred my orthopedic care to Dr Sullivan since my prior one retired. I really liked him but Dr. Sullivan was a breadth of fresh air. He is very interested in his patients problems and concerns and listens well. His bedside manner is very pleasant and sincere and I really like him.

    I wanted a shot in my shoulder and he didn't want to until he knew what he is dealing with. I respect that.
