Dr. Prabhakar Rao Chava, MD

Should not be a Doctor not qualified..

I had been a patient for nearly 20 years. Suddenly, without ANY warning or consultation, he discharged me as a patient, stating a vague, "I don't feel we can do anything more for you". No conversations, just a certified letter stating this totally unilateral decision by him. No patient input at all. Prior to that he was ok, but his only solutions to nearly EVERY problem I had were to lose weight and quit smoking. The true reason for the "Poor" rating was that sudden discharge after nearly 20 frickin' years. He didn't discuss any concerns with me. He didn't tell me this was even a possibility. Just Bammm! you are fired. Very frustrating and confusing. I even tried to "appeal" the unilateral decision by writing a letter, but I didn't even get a response. Very much the opposite of what one expects/wants from a doctor. Sad.

He has been my family physician for 10 years. He takes excellent care of us.
