I am very happy to have Dr. Sugarman as my doctor. Also his nurses are great.

05/28/2025

I want to say that the doctor that seen me was very great. He looked into my history. He knew it before he came into the room to find out the problems that was going on with me and to X out any thing that possibly could have been going on with me. So to recommend the x-rays, to basically put my mind at ease was very great and that's what I was looking for as far as any physician to make sure that I was okay and to make sure that it eases my mind on a day-to-day basis. So overall I am very satisfied with the services that was provided and will recommend that position 10 times out of 10. So thank you so much.

05/28/2025

Very good and friendly

03/03/2025

Had a visit with Dr. Sugarman, who I've been seeing as a primary physician for awhile. He's very kind, professional, and knowledgeable. Before my last visit, I researched hard about what ailment I was experiencing and narrowed it down to one and after explaining my symptoms to him, he knew right away what it was and it was spot on, prescribed me what I needed and within a day I felt better. On multiple occasions he's offered samples that I could use as an adjunct. He's always explained first line medications, given me options, and let me choose depending on what I think would work best for me. He's also open to suggestions if I think a different medication would suit me better. Messages on MyChart are always answered in a timely manner either by him or his assistants. And side note, being a pharmacist, I really appreciate that he always inserts diagnosis codes on prescriptions without fail. I would recommend him to anyone.

02/24/2025

Yes, I feel like he listened to me, to everything I had to say. And I need to see a endocrinologist, and I think he's working on that. And I'm hoping that he'll be able to get me in to see them soon. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Bye bye.
