Dr. Balasasikumar Sundaram

ICU Dr. Competent but too "important" to answer questions.

I had a hysterectomy on January 21 with Dr. Sundaram, everything went very well I had no problem in my recover and I feel great ?? Excellent doctor, very professional, and above all very human, knows how to understand and advise according to the need. Algo muy importante tambien, te habla en tu propio idioma y te inspira confianza. Belleza de Mujer

My experience with this Doctor was in the Emergency room at Mercy Hospital on Rogers Ave in Fort Smith, AR. Don't ask this Doctor any questions UNLESS you want to hear his very loud narcissistic, self important BULL Schitt!!, e.g. "I AM THE DOCTOR!", "Do YOU think YOU know more than me!!?....I HAVE 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!, HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE!!?!!!”, “TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND!" My wife and I did not have a recommendation for anything, we simply wanted to know why he ordered a medication that had recently been tried on me without success. Ooops. What baaad people we are for asking a question like that! That is a question he didn’t feel he should have to respond to, especially to elderly non-medical people who wouldn’t understand his much higher thinking ability and perfectly logical deductive reasoning . He directed his Barrage towards my wife, not me. When I began to stand up to step between this guy and my wife, my wife waved me off because she knew what I was about to do and say. I needed to be there. I needed emergency treatment. Had I followed through with my urge, I, not him the azzhole, would have been booted out of the Hospital. To be fair to this Doctor, our question for the Doctor was filtered through the attending ER male Nurse, Robert. What was said by myself, and/or my wife may NOT have been reported accurately to this Doctor by the male nurse (Robert). However, an intelligent individual, an individual with basic common sense, would have made sure that whatever he was informed of by the male nurse (Robert) about this situation (Wife and I don’t know what the male Nurse [Robert] said to the Doctor) was accurate and true BEFORE responding. This Doctor failed to do that. Instead, he went into a yelling, chest beating tirade about how great he is, the amount of experience he has and how uninformed, uneducated and inexperienced we are. I was in the emergency room for a reason, I was sick and needed emergency medical aid according my Doctor who sent me to the emergency room in an ambulance to get the emergency help she determined I needed at that specific time on that specific day. This emergency room Doctor had an advantage over my wife and me at the time this happened. Had I responded in kind to this prick, I would have been thrown out of the hospital even though I was sick and needed emergency help. Want to hear a whole lot of people cover for someone else that does something wrong? Visit a hospital. This man may have earned a degree as a Doctor, he may be competent IAW text books, I don’t know, but he certainly does not have the common sense, intelligence, nor personality characteristics to perform as a Doctor. The problem for everyone in this area? He works at both Hospitals
