Dr. Sudarat’s philosophy came from the legacy of her beloved uncle, formerly Thailand’s Surgeon General and Thailand’s Interim Minister of Public Health, chosen by our beloved King Rama IX, one of the world’s longest-reigning heads of state for 70+ years:
“Once you become a doctor, underline and bold that word and remind yourself to be kind, put patients’ needs ahead of yours as if they were your own family members, strive for excellence to bring about the best treatment outcomes, and never give up at the first try but always plan to do things right the first time.”

She also served as a board director member of the board certification in clinical anaplastology organization, and has served as a committee member of several national and international dental organizations.
Outside of her practice and teaching, she enjoys being a foodie, cooking new recipes, hiking, white water rafting, canyoning/rappelling, zip lining, walking, exercising (Pilates reformer), and traveling with her family.
I’ve been doing it for over 12 years, and it still brings me joy every day. I truly enjoy building real connections with our patients—getting to know their stories, hearing about their families, and even chatting about their latest vacations.
I was born in Mexico and raised in Florida, but after visiting Houston a few years ago, I fell in love with the city and decided to make it home. I’m also a proud mom of three, and when I’m not at the office, you’ll usually find me spending fun, quality time with my kids.
