Physician of the Quarter: Sunita Tummala, MD
Congratulations to Sunita Tummala, MD, board-certified neurologist, who has been selected as the Physician of the Quarter. Dr. Tummala was given the award at the November 11 medical staff meeting. Here is an excerpt from a nomination submitted on Dr. Tummala’s behalf.
“Dr. Tummala provides exemplary care to her patients and families. She is kind, never rushes, and makes herself available. She has never been rude or short with staff. Dr. Tummala is happy to educate staff and families. She goes out of her way to be helpful.
“One day, I was taking a patient to a CT scan and the bed motor did not work. Dr. Tummala helped me push the bed. She is simply amazing! Dr. Tummala also is head of the stroke program. On another occasion, I had a few questions, so she stopped to contact our stroke coordinator. She did not have to take her time to do that. She just always goes above and beyond!”
