I’ve been with Dr. Sukra for about 14 years and she is amazing with my children and an amazing doctor. She really listens to concerns. She’s very knowledgeable. I wouldn’t go to any other doctor if it’s not her it’s very sad that my boys are now grown up and they miss going to see her, but I still have my young children that love going to her office ?

Being new to the area, and wanting to find a good pediatrician, I'm very happy with my experience with Dr. Sukra. I took my daughter to see her and it was the best experience. Dr. Sukra really took the time to explain thoroughly the causes for the signs/symptoms my daughter was experiencing and the different treatment options. I was very impressed with her bedside manner, which made my daughter feel comfortable during the examination. She was very friendly, pleasant and genuinely caring. The following day she called me at home to give me the test results and explained to me what the results meant and some of the additional tests we needed to do. Without a question a wonderful experience that resonates patient care.

Dr Sukra has been my family’s long time pediatrician (since 2008) for both my kids. My now 21yo still sees her (his last year to be able to) that’s how beloved she is.
Shes seen my family through all the ups and downs that come with raising children both medically and mentally with an abundance of care and support.
She’s a rare gem in the field and you’d be lucky to have her as your family’s medical resource and advocate.
