Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors over eight months for this constant pain and bloating. Everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Sud actually listened to the whole timeline, asked questions the others hadn't, and ordered a specific scan. Turned out to be a rare motility disorder. It wasn't a quick fix, but finally having a real answer and a treatment plan made all the difference. He explained it in a way that actually made sense.
Had to get my first colonoscopy last month. I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, I'll admit. The prep was no fun, but the day itself was fine. Dr. Sud's team had everything running like clockwork. He came in before, cracked a small joke that actually helped, and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. Got the all-clear, and the whole experience was much smoother than I'd built up in my head.
The hospital itself is huge, and I got a bit lost finding the GI department. Once I did, the receptionist saw I was flustered and was really kind about it. The whole team, from the nurses to the person who scheduled my follow-up, was efficient but not cold. Even the waiting area was calm, which helped. It felt like a well-oiled machine where people still remembered you were a person.
What stood out most about Dr. Sud was how he talked to my elderly father. He didn't just talk to me. He sat down, made direct eye contact with Dad, and explained his liver condition using simple terms, checking if he understood. He never seemed rushed. My dad left feeling respected and less scared, which meant more to our family than any medical jargon ever could.
