Only reason I didn’t give him five stars is because it took almost 2 hours to see him, a lot of waiting
Really cool and friendly guy.
Dr sugarman always deserves 5 stars! One of the very best
Excellent !!!
The meniscectomy took 20 minutes without any problems. I was adequately briefed before hand of what to expect. I had pain, but was able to walk to the bathroom without any aid.
I love doctor Sugga he’s my new favorite doctor was patient took care of me. Was very informative. Showed me everything good and bad fantastic bedside manners and absolute pleasure to speak with. I’ll give them six stars but they only allow five.
He is a wonderful human! An excellent doctor for sure but also a wonderful human
I felt such relief after this appointment. The staff spent time to explain everything and were clearly experts of the hip.
Very thorough & understanding. He truly wants to figure out your problem. Nice guy on top of all that.
He is everything you want in a doctor! Caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and doesn’t rush. He has gone out of his way for me and I couldn’t appreciate him more.
