Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Sarmela Sunder

Sourced directly from Dr. Sarmela Sunder's social posts and replies.

How does glove use impact surgical precision and Dr. Sunder's technique?
Wearing surgical gloves can lead to some loss of sensation and reduced precision, though surgeons adapt to this difference. Double gloving (wearing two pairs) significantly increases this difficulty, making finer procedures more challenging. For these delicate procedures, Dr. Sunder typically opts for a single set of snug-fitting gloves to maintain optimal dexterity and feel, which she describes as almost like a second skin.

Which skincare ingredients increase sun sensitivity and require SPF?
Ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, salicylic acid, and alpha hydroxy acids (including lactic acid and glycolic acid) can make your skin more sun sensitive. It is highly recommended to wear SPF when using these products.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$14,908

Payments

6

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Sarmela Sunder received $14,908 across 6 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as consulting fee, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
