I was convinced I would never be able to speak again, and as a teacher that was like a death sentence. I had been to other ENTs and I was told it was not unusual for teachers to lose their voices after teaching as long as I had. But then I was sent to Dr. Sugumaran. I have my voice back and I am still teaching. He is amazing.

Good doc. After a year of pain, he identified what I thought was wrong the entire time- this is after 8 different ENT's told me everything from wacko rare disorders to everything under the sun- i was scared...and so many doctors tried so many dangerous medications on me- his approach was firm, definite, and also logical- he's a very good doctor and also spent the time to call back my husband to explain what was wrong to him and how to correct it. His nurse/MA is also excellent. Highly recommend.

Extremely thorough and caring. Suspected auto-immune disorder that was confirmed with additional testing. Took time to call my allergist to discuss my case then called me. Identified a potentially life-threatening rare auto-immune disorder before disease progressed beyond initial stages. I wish all doctors were like Dr. Sugumaran.

Dr sugumaran made me feel very comfortable with his exam and discussion about some voicing issues I was having. He made sure we did the proper tests and then gave me all my options to make my voice more normal. We had a quick procedure in the office and I sound like myself again

I can hear again, thanks to Dr Sugumaran! My ears canals were cleared quickly, in about 10 minutes, after years of hearing loss (that I didn't notice for a long time), I can now hear so much more of all activity around me. When I left the appointment and arrived at my office and started to talk, it seemed like my normal voice tone was loud. What a difference. Dr. Sugumaran is professional, kind and has a fiendly personality. I recommend him highly.
