Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

THE BEST PEDIATRICIAN. Knowledgeable, interested and caring. She also exercises good common sense. Very considerate and explains things clearly. She's never rushed and is very vigilant in her care and treatment of her patients. I highly recommend her and have for years.

My children have been Patients for the past 4 years and I can not say enough wonderful things about Md Sukra. She is knowledgeable, kind, and personable. My girls enjoy their visits and always leave the office well educated on topics appropriate for their age group.I was fortunate enough to find Md Sukra when my previous pediatricians offfce shut down quickly due to personal reasons . The transition was extremely smooth for my children due to the fact of how wonderful Md Sukra welcomed them!

I have been taking my son to Dr. Sukra for 8 years. SHE IS THE BEST! 1. She and her staff set up a caring and professional environment. 2. She and her staff go out of their way to meet patient needs (i.e. paper work, appointment times, etc) 3. Dr. Sukra makes it her mission to empower her patients with knowledge so they will not be fearful in visiting the doctor at a young age! 4.Dr. Sukra is extremely knowledgeable about medicine and makes proactive referrals to prevent future problems.

We love Dr. Sukra. Being a solo practitioner, she really knows our child and we are not shuffled around from doctor to doctor like in larger groups. Her staff is great and always accommodates us if we are running late or need to come in last minute.
