Dr. Parvez Sultan, MD

My wife was referred to Dr. Sultan for a biopsy due to possible lung cancer in September of 2023. When we saw him, we had no idea that a biopsy meant possibly taking the entire lower lobe of the lung. When we hesitated to have the lobe removed, Dr. Sultan seemed to become angry and left the room. I immediately contacted our primary doctor who referred us to Dr. John Richardson. My wife did have the lobe removed but Dr. Richardson explained everything to us and had a great bedside manner. After meeting with Dr. Sultan, there was no way that we were going to allow him to perform the surgery. This is very unusual for me to do any kind of review but this one, I should have done a long time ago.

Very short wait time. doctor, nurses and staff very friendly.

I was very impressed by Dr. Sultan and his entire team. Aside for the circumstances of my visit, it was a pleasant experience.

I’m very pleased with Dr sultan , he is a great surgeon, we so lucky to have him in Birmingham Alabama

Very coordinated team of pros

Dr. Sultan, his staff, and everyone at St. Vincent made me feel very comfortable in spite of my very stressful surgery.

I needed a thoracotomy due to my hernia had pulled my stomach & hernia thru my diaphragm. He did a wonderful job, I had a follow up almost 7 years later & my surgery was still intact. I would recommend him.

Dr. Sultan and staff were attentive to my needs, questions, and concerns. I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery and recovery and will recommend him to others.

I am an RN with almost 50 years of service. Following a routine cardiac cath by my cardiologist, Dr. Sultan was consulted and a week later performed a quadruple bypass and aortic valve replacement at St. Vincent Medical Ctr. The surgery went very well and the post op care I received in CCU was tremendous. Dr. Sultan himself is a man of few words but I believe his skills as a cardiothoracic surgeon are as good as anyone in and around Birmingham. Dr. Sultan's staff was courteous and attentive. I would not hesitate in recommending Dr. Sultan to anyone.

He did an awesome job with robotic surgery, removal of upper right lung. BUT, he’s always late! Three hours late for initial appointment. Scheduled surgery for 7 AM I had to be there at 5 AM. Got there and set in waiting room until after 9. At 10:30 was taken back to prep area. He didn’t start surgery until after 1PM. Saw him for about 5 minutes in my hospital room next morning. Does NOT have good bedside manner. Evidently good surgeon but very poor communication skills. Didn’t even show up for follow up appointment. That was handled by his nurse practitioner.

I would never recommend him to anyone.

He did a fantastic job with my procedure but they don't have respect for the patient's time. My first visit I had to wait over 2 hours and it looks like my follow up (after surgery) I'll have to wait over an hour. If I didn't need his specialty in my surgery I would have left the first time.
