Suddle to Extend Practice to Mount Jewett

J. Gary Rhodes, Vice President, UPMC Hamot and CEO of Kane Community Hospital, has announced that "Mohammed Nawaz Suddle, MD, physician of internal medicine, will extend his internal medicine practice to patients in Mt. Jewett at UPMC Hamot Medical Park, 18 W. Main Street. He will begin to see patients there in mid-May."

"To KCH, Dr. Suddle brings a wide range of medical skills that include internal medicine, emergency medicine, noninvasive cardiology and occupational health. One of the benefits of practicing in a small community hospital is the opportunity it affords physicians to use their full complement of skills, as Dr. Suddle does so well," Rhodes said.

"Dr. Suddle joined the medical staff at KCH in January of 2002 as an Emergency Room Physician. At the end of 2002, when Renato Ocampo, MD retired his general medicine practice, and several years later when Bruno Sicher, MD retired his family practice, Dr. Suddle assumed these practices while establishing and growing his practice in internal medicine at Summit Medical Park in Kane," Rhodes stated.

He received his medical education from King Edward Medical School in Pakistan with degrees in medicine and surgery. His Internal Medicine internship was completed at Punjab Medical College, Pakistan. He completed his Residency in Internal Medicine at UPMC McKeesport.

Dr. Suddle is American Board certified in Internal Medicine. He received a postgraduate diploma in clinical and noninvasive cardiology from the University of Vienna, Austria.

Dr. Suddle is a Cardiac Lab physician where he conducts stress tests and interprets echocardiograms.

Dr. Suddle continues to serve in rotation at the KCH ER and is certified in Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

He is a certified medical review officer (MRO) for KCH’s Employee Health and is one of two Medical Review Officers for KCH's Occupational Medicine Program.

Dr. Suddle and his family live in Kane.

"We are very pleased to add internal medicine to the care and services available to patients at UPMC Medical Park - Mt. Jewett," said Rhodes. To make an appointment to see Dr. Suddle in Mt. Jewett, call 778-2298. For an appointment in Kane, call 837-9350.
