Dr. Sudarat’s philosophy came from the legacy of her beloved uncle, formerly Thailand’s Surgeon General and Thailand’s Interim Minister of Public Health chosen by our beloved King Rama IV, the world’s longest-reigning head of state for 70+ years:
“Once you become a doctor, underline and bold that word and remind yourself to be kind, put patient’s needs ahead of yours as if they were your own family members, strive for excellence to bring about the best treatment outcomes, and never give up at the first try but always plan to do things right the first time.”
Outside of her practice and teaching, she enjoys being a foodie, cooking new recipes, hiking, white water rafting, zip lining, walking, exercising (pilates reformer), and traveling with her family.
