With a wealth of experience and expertise, Dr. Soosay has made a lasting impact on patient care and medical research. In this interview, we delve into her journey, insights, and thoughts on the evolving landscape of healthcare.
Dr Soosay: Watching the way my father cared for his patients and made them feel better really impacted me as I grew up in his practice. Following his footsteps to carry forward his legacy of compassionate care is my way of honoring him and contributing to the field of medicine.
Dr Soosay: Creating meaningful connections with my patients and fostering trust helps me understand their stories, keep them healthy, and prevent avoidable ailments.
Dr Soosay: Telemedicine holds great promise in making healthcare more accessible, convenient, and efficient for certain conditions. It is definitely here to stay. However, it does not allow the same level of contact for physical examinations, which may be essential to ensure the accuracy of certain diagnoses. So, as a rule of thumb, if symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to attend an in-person visit with your doctor.
