Dr. Prasad Vrk Chalasani, MD

The glowing reviews here must have been written by the staff. Really! Overbooked waiting rooms, very limited time spent with the patient, an office that seems to have very limited time in the office for receiving calls and helping patients. It's obvious this practice is worshiping at the shrine of the almighty dollar and could care less about patients.

I have been his patient since 2004! Has the respect of heart surgeons and pers throughout the state. Mall the nurses love him and his patients too. Told to me by surgeon best of top 5. In the ste of fl. If you want lots of time spent Chet chatting, that is not him, but knowledge and ability is what I want! Thank god I found him!

Great patient care. Excellent work ethic and very well respected by others in the medical community.

I think the Dr himself is good but, it’s almost impossible to get to him. Numerous calls to the office, numerous messages left no call back. Post-op I was very sick I called many times only to be told someone will call me back.... no such luck, my son went in and made them call me. Well, after that I was never able to get to them again.They Billed my insurance company for many more visits than I made. I called the billing office and three months later still no call back. When I went in to get my records I was given someone else’s records also. All I can say is BEWARE! The staff is awful

I was one of his first patients after he graduated from Med school. I was referred by my GP Doctor when I showed irregularities in a stress test. Needed a stent and he put it in. I have been seeing him for care ever since... approximately every 6 months. Great doctor and a great person.

I was admitted to the Hospital thru the emergency room. Numerous tests were performed on my heart and arteries. The attending physicians made numerous calls to his office during the day and evening -the nurses made numerous calls also. The answering service did not help much, I made numerous calls from my hospital bed - to date no response. I checked myself out the hospital and began calling his office still no response. For a cardiologist IO question the level of care or concern. Found me a cardiologist.

Dr. Chalasani is wonderful. But I'm not so sure about his billing staff; One woman in that department has been very rude at times and even billed me for money that I did not owe.

Very caring competent Doctor. Took professional responsibility for finding a hospital and doctor that I would be comfortable with. Very caring and smart. Appears to be knowledgeable heart specialist.

Worth the wait. Very professional. Great bedside manner. Did not set me up for any unnecessary tests or procedures. This was my first office visit, as I am new to the area. Dr. Chalasani had been highly recommended by family members. They had been accurate in their praise.

Stent inserted without cleaning out artery first. Stent acted to narrow the artery further; causing major problem...blocking circulation to left coronary artery. Discovered by another cardiologist during stress test prior to starting exercise class. This happened in another state. Dr. C. should have informed us that the stent had limited/restricted blood flow. Outcome..by-pass operation required to by-pass the almost closed stented area.
