Patient Reviews
Dr. Sudhan is the surgeon who did my dad’s quadruple bypass just a week ago! Not only was Dr. Sudhan excellent in my dad’s care, but he also made sure my mom knew exactly what was going on. He actually drew her a picture so she could visually see what was going on with my dad’s heart and how the surgery would help him. Thank you to Dr. Sudhan for giving me many more years with my dad! My and family and I are forever grateful

Everyone was super nice. When we took records in I was expecting to just drop them off but to my surprise Dr came out and talked with us. I would recommend Dr Sudhan for open heart surgery. He was there every day to check on my husband, as was Justin. Everyone at Gadsden Hospital was very nice. Very impressed with doctor and nurses.

He has saved my life a couple of times He is one of the most caring and concerned Doctors I have ever seen, Great bedside manner and he actually cares about his patients and he follows up after surgery, he doesn’t just push you off to someone else. I highly recommend Him.

I couldn’t ask for a better surgeon to perform my quadruple bypass surgery in December of 2018. His bedside manner was amazing and he seemed to really care about my well being. Thank you, Dr. Sudhan for everything! Kathy Jones

Dr. Nagarajan has been my husband’s physician since August 2018. The quality of surgical and medical care that Dr. Nagarajan has given him has been superb, and he truly cares about his patients. We couldn’t ask for a better doctor.
