“Dr. Sucato is an amazing physician and person. He was my doctor when I was a patient at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. His care and wonderful bedside manner inspired me to continue to pursue my passion for medicine that I have had since I was a child. Now as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner, I often try to emulate the care that Dr. Sucato provides.”
