Dr. Kristi Sundin has been my primary care provider since my transition out of the USMC in 2014. My transition was not easy by any means and I still struggle with my injuries but she made positive changes in my healthcare. She is the only reason I am here today with a career at the VA. I had a simple surgery that turned for the worse and I needed 6 months of occupational therapy to recover from the surgery. Kristi was there for me the whole time dealing with the therapy and getting me back on my feet so that I could start my academic career in 2019. At first, it was challenging to take notes and articulate the information because of a traumatic brain injury and still having issues with my arms. With her help, I was able to sign up for accommodations through the university and I got two more surgeries to help manage my injuries. Her dedication to my healthcare allowed me to hold my newborn son and daughter. I had major anxiety standing and holding my children because I didn’t want to drop them. Simple tasks of doing the dishes were hard on my hands and arms but now I can support my wife in raising our children. Her passion for the healing and care of Veterans should be the foundation other providers strive to achieve.
