She has a passion for treating the whole person, seeing a strong overlap between mental wellness and physical health.
Dr. Sureka lives in Johns Creek, Georgia with her husband and twin sons. She was born in Chicago and her family is originally from India and she speaks fluent Hindi. She enjoys hiking, dancing and spending time outdoors.
Dr. Sureka is thoughtful, kind, and patiently answered questions regarding a complicated medical issue with our son. She harbors a deep expertise in children's health and we are thankful for her work.
Dr. Sureka is thorough, informative, kind, very gentle and wins over my kids quickly - even the extremely stranger-anxious one. We LOVE her! She cares about the well-being of the whole family, including me, the often-overwhelmed mom to 3 young kiddos. Can't speak highly enough of her!
Dr. Sureka is an incredibly warm, patient and talented physician. My son is normally very scared of going to the doctor, but he is so comfortable with Dr. Sureka. I highly recommend her! She has been wonderful for our family.
We had an appointment for something completely different but Dr Sureka helped get a rock out of our sons ear. She is so calm and relaxed. We are so lucky to have her!!
Rachana was a wonderful pediatrician to us as new parents. Took the time to answer all our questions and didn't rush us. She was very sweet with our baby boy and we will be seeing her for our next 1mo check-up.
My husband & I always look forward to our appointments with Dr. Sureka. We always leave with all of our questions answered and no stone left unturned. She is overall a very sweet person and cares deeply for her patients and their families.
Dr Sureka is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and patient. As a first time mom I had a lot of questions and she took her time and answered every inquiry I had. I'm glad I found her!!!!
I love taking both my children to Dr. Sureka. She is always helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I trust her completely with my daughter and son.
Dr Sureka is amazing. She is so calm, soothing, and incredible with babies and toddlers. I've never felt rushed and she always takes the time to ask me what I need or what I'm worried about. I’m so thankful to have someone my husband and I both trust, esp with our first baby!! CMG Decatur has continued to impress for me 15 months now, highly recommend this practice to anyone with kids.
Through the years, we have met a number of the physicians/np in this office. We've had nothing shy of excellent care with each caretaker. They are thorough, and take the time to listen to their patients. You child will receive superb care here. Dr Sureka along with the others go above and beyond to get and keep kids in good health.
Seeing Dr. Sureka is always a delight and she has always provided thoughtful care and taken time to answer any questions or concerns.
Dr. Sureka has the bedside manner of an angel. I can't imagine finding a pediatrician I trust more. I don't even mind driving 40 minutes for my son to see her because she's that good! It's such a blessing to know my son is in her capable hands.
We love Dr. Sureka! She is so kind and patient to answer all our questions. She has been wonderful caring for our baby from day 1!
