Dr. Frank Sun is a physician and surgeon, board certified in gynecology and obstetrics.  He is a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School and completed his residency training at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Sun has been practicing obstetrics and gynecology in the Gurnee Area since 1977. He recently retired from obstetrics after helping mothers deliver over 10,000 babies and instead has devoted his entire practice to helping women who suffer from conditions that would benefit from minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Utilizing the technologies of advanced minimally invasive surgery,  Dr. Sun is able to offer treatment options to his patients for a variety of female reproductive medical conditions, including:

     • Endometriosis
     • Fibroid Tumors
     • Weakened Pelvic Floor
     • Pelvic Pain

A description and overview of each of these conditions can be viewed by visiting the Medical Conditions page of our site.  We also offer photos of actual laparoscopic surgical techniques used to treat some of these conditions.  View them by visiting our Surgical Gallery.

Since 1983, Dr. Sun has been on the forefront in utilizing advanced laparoscopic and microscopic procedures to treat a variety of medical conditions for the first time in Lake County.  In 2002, he was one of only 900 physicians certified by the Accreditation Council for Gynecologic Endoscopy in the practice of Advanced Operative Laparoscopy and Advanced Operative Hysteroscopy.

Some surgical firsts in Lake County include:

  • 1985 - Microsurgical tubal reanastomosis
  • 1988 - Laparoscopic treatment of an ectopic pregnancy
  • 1991 - Laparoscopic hysterectomy
  • 1992 - Laparoscopic appendectomy
  • 1994 - Laparoscopic Birch bladder neck suspension
  • 2002 - Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy
  • 2003 - Transobturator TVT suburethral sling

By remaining abreast of the advances in minimally invasive surgical technique, Dr. Sun has been able to provide patients with treatment options that were unavailable a few short years ago.
