"Dr. Sujith very good explaining what was happening and correctly diagnosed the blockage of artery.We are eternally grateful for how quickly Dr. Sujith saw me in clinic in and made the choice for a CTA. Dr. Sujith's even quicker decision making to admit me to expedite his work up in September 2023, is another astute call of an experienced and wise physician. The GI biopsy showed h. Pylori so a possible explanation for the severe anemia. We are so thankful that this anemia and symptoms led him to Dr. Sujith and Dr. Sujith was able to possibly help prevent something so much more severe. Dr. Kim was also wonderful in the hospital and was great at communicating his plan and what he saw. Our family really do feel like Dr Sujith saved my life. Great asset to Duly health and community"
