Susmita Paladugu

Overview

Philosophy of care | Medicine is an art and science. Over the years, I have learned the art of comforting is as important as the science of diagnosing and treating. The least I can do for my patients is to give them the time, attention and respect they deserve. I try to do that every single time I enter a patient room. | Why I entered medicine | Science truly intrigued me in high school, so it made sense for me to pursue medical sciences. I am still passionate about the idea of solving a diagnostic puzzle, but what keeps me in the medical field today is the humanistic side of it. I love to connect with my patients and continue to learn the art of healing and comforting. | Community involvement | I volunteer with the Street Medicine Program in Berks County. | Personal interests | I enjoy cooking, gardening and hiking in my free time.
