I have been seeing Dr Soudagar for several years and trust him implicitly, both in the operating room and out of it. My previous OR procedure with him was a colonoscopy that turned out to be very difficult and I was lucky to have him because the risk of perforation was high and might have happened with someone less skilled. This procedure was an upper endoscopy that was done quickly with no complications.

I was premed for two years at college with the beginnings of lifelong interest in surgery and the study of issues affecting me over the years, particularly as presented in the New England Journal of Medicine. (I would provide negatively the reaction on one neurologist visiting me and his seeming stubborn inability to present me with citations to conditions affecting me.) Highest grades for Dr. Soudagar.

Dr. Soudagar was very compassionate and spent time answering my questions and addressing my concerns. I explained to him that the Prep made me very nauseated and I felt very frustrated that I didn't feel well enough to complete the bowel prep and drank only slightly over 75% of it. He suggested that next time I have a Colonoscopy, I should be given anti-nausea medication.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
