Dubois Suja D, MD

I would highly recommend Dr. Dubois to my family and friends. I have been a patient since early 2015 however, because of the time she has given me via office visits and follow up telephone calls, it is more time than I’ve ever gotten from other doctors. Dr. Dubois takes time to listen to all my concerns and is very knowledgeable about the course of action to take and I never feel as if she is rushing through my appointment to get to her next patient.

Earlier this year I was diagnosed with Celiac through blood tests. In the US an endoscopy is the only medically recognized form of diagnosis so when my primary Dr referred me to Dr. DuBois I assumed it was for the purpose of scheduling the procedure. It took a month to get an appointment and when I finally met with Dr Dubois she said that an endoscopy would not be necessary because the blood tests results were so strong. She was not at all helpful, she did not give me any new information on the disease, what to expect, how to cope with it. When I asked her about a referral to meet with a dietitian she told me that they don’t do that anymore. It was an extremely frustrating experience and a complete waste of my time and money. I’m sure the Dr has her strengths but if you have Celaic DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Dr Dubois knowledge of Celiac disease offers less then a google search and overall the experience was beyond disappointing :(

I would recommend Dr. Dubois very highly. So does a friend of mine who recently had a procedure done by her. She and her staff were kind, compassionate, and professional both during the consultation and the procedure. That allowed me to relax and stay calm. What was most important for me was the near total lack of discomfort and pain afterward. I told Dr. Dubois during the consultation that I have a high sensitivity to pain, and I feared that I would need pain medication afterwards. My Mercy Hospital prep nurse and I also talked about this. He told me that Dr. Dubois was well known there for doing the extra things to minimize post-​procedure discomfort. It worked!

Highly recommended. Md takes her time to explain in details procedures or diagnosis; listens to concerns and addresses them right away.

Dr. Dubois did a surgery for me in late december 2010 and she was very nice. I haven’t been feeling great and wanted to get her opinion on what I should be expecting after having my gallbladder removed and having an ERCP to remove a rogue gallstone. I called her office only to hear that I would have to wait for a call back after this (not so friendly) person spoke to the doctor to see «if she would even see me, or would want to refer me to someone else in the office.» So, after feeling put-​off, I waited for a call. An appointment was made for me, and I received a confirmation call (that didn’t ask for a confirmation back). When I showed up for my appointment, the same (not so friendly) person told me that when she didn’t hear back from me, she cancelled my appointment. My review isn’t an indication to Dr. Dubois’ ability, nor is it about her personally. My review is more about the seemingly strange way that her office is run. I was very interested in what the Dr. had to say, and not enough to feel mistreated. I’m positive that there are some other competent GI doctors in San Diego.
