I have been seeing Dr. Sood for several years now for IBS/Colitis. Unfortunately she does not have this managed for me yet. Lots of tests and trial and error and OTC meds i.e. Imodium, Pepto-Bismol, Benefiber, with no success or relieve of symptoms. More recently after my last colonoscopy she advised, "your colon is abnormal with chronic inflammation and significant scarring." Go home and take Benefiber twice a day and I'll see you in 6-8 weeks. I just don't get it. Time for me to get another opinion. She is just not helping me at all. I would not recommend this doctor.

I expected better from Dr. Sood due to her education and experience. She is very sweet and personable, but she was not aggressive enough with my illness that went on for approx. 3 months. It just seemed to take forever, in and out of hospital, lots of meds, trial and error, etc etc to finally figure out what was wrong with me. But, she has a great bedside manner. Just needed to be a little more aggressive with diagnosis and treatment

Dr. Sood was extremely professional and examined me very well. She had the knowledge and know-how to do exactly what I needed for me. I ended up being stress-free after each visit and left the office with a smile on my face. She is the best!
