Dr. Suguna S (PhD)

My mother has been suffering with chronic kidney disease for the last 5 years and her creatinine levels were never stable even though she was taking good medication from our Nephrologist Dr. K. V. Dakshinamurty sir. After some time I felt that along with medicine, a proper diet also plays a major role for kidney health. So the doctor recommended us to consult Dietitian Dr. Suguna S mam from Bengaluru. We got the appointment very easily and from the first call itself she was very friendly and understood my mother’s condition very well. The first appointment itself became a turning point for my mother. She was losing confidence for a long time because every report used to make her scared. But Suguna mam asked everything with so much patience about my mother’s eating habits, lifestyle, do’s and dont’s, etc. and mam explained all things very clearly for almost 2 hours. I don't think words will ever be enough to describe Suguna mam. She came into our life exactly at the right time when we needed her and the way she guided and cared for my mother is something our family will always remember. We are honestly very grateful to her. After checking all the reports, mam took nearly one week to prepare a proper diet plan which suits my mother’s health. My mother followed it strictly and after one month we saw good changes in her body and surprisingly very good results in her reports. She also started getting confidence slowly. Mam used to follow up and ask regularly if the diet is working or not. In the second appointment mam updated the diet to make it even better. After two months the improvement was really unbelievable. My mother became more active and her reports also came very good. By the third appointment my mother felt very emotional and thanked Suguna mam because doctors like her are very rare. **** ***** ***** ** *** ***** ** **** **** * ***** ************ **** *** ****** * *** *** * ***** ************ **** *** ** ** ************* *** ******* ****

I honestly suggest anyone who is facing kidney related issues and diet confusion to consult Suguna mam. It really made a big difference for my mother’s health.

Dr. Suguna takes very good time with her patients. I visited her with greatly worried about my mothers CKD issue. On following her step by step suggestions, we could successfully bring all parameters under control. Thank you very much. I highly recommend her.

I want to express my sincere appreciation for Suguna ma’am, who has been guiding my father’s diet during his dialysis journey. She is truly a wonderful person—patient, understanding, *** ********* **************

What I value most is how she listens carefully to my father’s likes and dislikes and then creates a diet plan that is both practical and suited to his health needs. She evaluates his condition thoughtfully before recommending anything, and her modern approach to nutrition has helped us clear many myths we previously believed.

Thanks to her guidance, my father now follows a structured pre-dialysis and post-dialysis diet that has made a noticeable difference in his energy and overall well-being. We are truly grateful for her support and dedication.

I consulted doctor before my wedding. She suggested organic diet mostly. The exercises suggested by her were not really intensive and could be performed in daily routine. She helped me lose 6 kgs in around 3 months time. I still follow the diet prescribed by her and would love to re consult with her

Doctor was friendly and had explained the diet thoroughly ,clearing the doubts during the whole course

We have already seen results in our previous consultant for our parents. Their diabetic reports have improved.

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Suguna S during my video consultation. The process was smooth and happened right on time, which was great since I am an out-of-town patient. I appreciated the support, attention to detail, and expertise, and the video call saved me travel time and expenses. Highly recommended!

Dr Suguna is the much-needed dietitian we were looking for my mother. My mother has CKD and she lives alone in India and I live in the UK. At the end of 2020 I delivered a baby girl and almost the same time mum renal parameters were going out of control. Our nephrologist was also concerned that my mother would need dialysis soon. We were very worried that who will look after her if she has to undergo dialysis regularly. We were very confused about her diets like what to eat and what to avoid, how much is ok, what foods are causing her high potassium levels and creatinine levels.

When we hunted for an online CKD dietitien, we found Practo and Dr Suguna with the best ratings. We approached her and my mum started sessions with her online. We opted for customised holistic Nutrition and Wellness planner.

My mother understands only Kannada. Dr. Suguna was very friendly with my mother, encouraged her, guided her on how sticking to the planner would benefit her health. While coaching Dr. Suguna also identified what are the foods my mother is taking are harming her and suggested a variety of alternatives that my mother never tried. It was not just food, she also encouraged my mum to practise breathing techniques, light walking, listening to chants and gave hope and positivity. It is worth working with her. Despite having pandemic, at the borderline of dialysis my mother could balance her health and vitality with Dr Suguna's coaching. Early 2021 my mother's creatine was fluctuating between 5.1 to 5.9. June 2021 report says it is 4.1. It is an absolute transformation. Our nephrologist was surprised by the result. Her potassium parameter is still above the normal range. and she still takes iron improvement injection for 2 months once. Amidst all these, my mother had covid in the month of June 2021. Thankfully symptoms were mild and got well in 2 days. However, so far she sounds healthy and lively and no dialysis.

Thanks is a small word to Dr. Suguna. May your support reach more families.
