Dr. Sunitha Sukumaran, MD

Outstanding doctor who practices humanity along with medicine, for which I am grateful

Dr Sue is very knowledgeable and will go to great lengths to work on getting Medical Insurance approvals which is greatly appreciated. She spends time with you to explain pharmaceutical drugs, etc.

Dr. Sukumaran's predecessor treated me for several years, dutifully scheduling my appointments once per year. Since Dr. Su took over (10? yr ago) I've seen her only twice, the last time recently on an urgent matter. At that appointment her demeanor was condescending to the point of being extremely offensive. Avoid her at all cost!

If it was not for Dr. Sukumaran I would not be writing this comment. She saved my life. I saw her once a month for almost 5 years and each time I was treated with respect and dignity. I am currently on a new drug that Dr. Sukumaran prescribed that basically keeps me alive. She was always upfront with me. I can't thank her enough.

She was not concerned with my experience or the horrific drug side effects I was having. She just wanted to sell me more drugs and wait it out five years. She make me wait up to hour and a half in her office in a hospital gown, then never gave me a breast examine. She kept wanting me to get more bone density tests and more sonograms when I just had them. She made me feel that I was not with the program and offered no other options. She talked down to me like I was not able to understand her accent. I made an appointment then went home, thought deeply about my experience. I decided to just cancel the appointment and never return.
