Portions of her early work contributed to the foundational science that informed ongoing innovations now being advanced by companies like Solenic Medical, currently in clinical trials.
Before co-founding Texas Prostate, Sumbul led operations at Perigon Imaging, where she implemented imaging workflows and supported the mobile MRI unit for prostate therapy. Her ability to combine operational efficiency with compassionate care positioned her as a driving force in the early development of Texas Prostate. In recognition of her loyalty, leadership, and enduring contributions, she was named a Co-Founder and Managing Partner of the practice.
Beyond her professional achievements, Sumbul finds her greatest joy in raising her two daughters, who inspire her daily with their strength, curiosity, and warmth. They remain her guiding light and the heart behind her commitment to building systems of care that serve families with empathy, intelligence, and grace.
