Dr. Sun has been in practice at TRA treating arterial and venous disease for nearly 20 years. In 2004, with a special interest in venous disease, he was one of the first to introduce endovenous laser ablation to the South Sound for the treatment of varicose veins and venous stasis ulcers. This was a major advancement over the standard surgical stripping, which was significantly more invasive and less well tolerated. More recently he has introduced to the Tacoma area, a new non-thermal, adhesive based ablation technique for treatment of varicose veins and venous stasis ulcers. This new method is even better tolerated by patients, making vein ablation not much more invasive than placing an IV.
