The only mark against her was: she spoke to me as a parent and a medical professionalbut she didn't really speak to my kids so they understood what she was explaining. They are teens.

Dr Suh is the best doctor we ever met. She is so kind and caring and her exam is very thorough.

She was one of the best providers USF has. Very thorough and made every effort to get an understanding of health history. She was patient and wanted to understand I understood the information provided. She smiled and was gentle and patient with my kids. Highly recommend her as a pediatric cardiologist. The staff was great as well and I can tell they all enjoy working together as a team.

The provider was very unprofessional. She kept on bringing up the fact that my child is on medication for ADHD and depression prescribed by her psychiatrist. This doctor is a cardiologist that should not be commenting on another doctors care. She also brought up the fact that she's recently a new Christian, and kept on trying to push her religious beliefs on my child and me. While I respect everyone's right to practice their religion, I do not believe this belongs in a medical setting, and I'm very upset with the fact that it made my child and me very uncomfortable. I think this position needs to have a talking to you about workplace appropriateness, and how to deal with children. This is very surprising based on her current role as head of cardiology for pediatrics, and the fact that she's an Adjunct professor..

This is the very best doctor I've ever come across in my entire life and my child's life she was attentive she was listening. She was informative. She was caring. She didn't rush us. She didn't dismiss us. She was what you pray for when you go to see a doctor that you will come across someone like her that actually cares. You all are extremely lucky to have her and children are lucky to have her in their care plan

I could never say a negative thing about Dr. Suh. She has been my sons cardiologist since birth! Their connection is strong and we would follow her to wherever she goes. She is always available, straight shooter with all the information and treatment plan, takes the time to explain the situation to the parents and as well as patient, and advocates hard for her patients. She challenges my son to learn more information about his heart condition and explains what happened in the past as well as what we are monitoring moving forward. She wants him to be able to tell people about his condition by name and be able to explain it. Super helpful because he is getting older and is not always with his parents for them to explain. What a blessing USF Health has with Dr. Suh leading the Pediatric Cardiology team!

The doctor and the cardiologist that we had were amazing. They were so informative and they helped diagnose something that we weren't even there for.
