Dr. Sudeepthi Prasad, MD

I went back and forth over the three months about whether to share this review. I wanted to be sure I wasn’t reacting purely out of emotion. But ultimately, out of conscience, I feel I have to speak up. I’m 35 years old. I had my first miscarriage in September 2024. After that loss, Dr. Prasad told me I could message her directly if I became pregnant again and that we might consider starting progesterone. I became pregnant again in October and reached out right away. Dr. Prasad was on vacation, so the nurses referred me to another doctor who prescribed progesterone and ordered HCG testing—but no one checked my progesterone levels. It felt rushed and impersonal. I never heard from Dr. Prasad directly, not even when she returned. I tried to give her grace—she’s a busy doctor—but it was hard not to feel dismissed. At my 8-week ultrasound, everything looked good. It was a relief. But at 11 weeks, I started bleeding heavily and went to the ER. The baby still had a heartbeat. The ER… doctor, who wasn’t an OB-GYN, told me to follow up with my OB for a more detailed evaluation. I messaged Dr. Prasad, but the nurses responded that since the ER visit showed a heartbeat, there was no need to come in sooner—we could wait for the already-scheduled 12-week scan. Again, I never heard directly from Dr. Prasad. At the 12-week scan (a routine screening at a separate clinic), I told the staff about the bleeding. They identified a 7cm x 2cm subchorionic hematoma. No precautions were offered, just a note that my OB would review the findings. At my same-day follow-up with Dr. Prasad, she told me to "take it easy," but didn’t stress the size or potential risk of the hematoma. She didn’t recommend additional monitoring beyond the standard 16-week appointment—which doesn’t include an ultrasound. If I hadn’t advocated for myself, the hematoma wouldn’t have been re-checked until 20 weeks. I later learned, through my own research, that hematomas of this size often warrant more frequent monitoring. That was never mentioned to me by Dr. Prasad or her team. Despite ongoing intermittent bleeding and cramping, I kept being told to go to the ER if it got “heavy,” and was made to feel like I was overreacting when I asked for an ultrasound. Eventually, I did manage to get scans at 15 and 16 weeks, which showed the hematoma shrinking. That gave me some reassurance. I asked Dr. Prasad if I could travel, and she said yes—just to make sure I got up and walked around to avoid clots. That was it. Nothing about my hematoma increasing any risk, no caution, no suggestion of pelvic rest. I flew out two days after my appointment. Less than 12 hours after landing, I miscarried at 16 weeks while staying at my parents’ house. It was the most traumatic experience of my life. I will never know what caused my miscarriage. But I can’t shake the feeling that my condition wasn’t taken seriously. If I could go back, I would have put myself on strict pelvic rest and avoided travel entirely. Dr. Prasad was far too casual in how she handled my care, especially considering my history and symptoms. At my postpartum visit, one month after the loss, Dr. Prasad hadn’t even reviewed my baby’s postmortem or DNA reports. I had to explain the results to her myself, I I showed her one of my reports through phone. She didnt even request thr second post-mortum report. When I expressed frustration about the travel recommendation, she said she had told me at 12 weeks not to travel—but the only reason she gave at the time was that I wouldn’t have access to medical care mid-flight, not because of any increased risk tied to my hematoma. I can’t in good conscience recommend this office, or Dr. Prasad, to anyone. I spent thousands of dollars here. I expected care, attention, and communication—not indifference, generic responses, and missed opportunities to take my concerns seriously. I deserved better care. And so did my baby.

I recently had my surgery and Dr. Prasad did my surgery. I am really satisfied with my care! She takes time to answer questions and most importantly calls back when I leave messages at her front desk. I like her office staff too! Definitely would recommend Dr. Prasad. I have referred several of my friends and family to her!!

worst experience

Arrogant, no value for patient life and pregnancy.

I recently moved to east bay - Dr. Prasad is my gynecologist now, really liked her at my first visit and I also went back for my annual exam....I recommended her to my friends and family:=) The front office is really accommodating too!

Good vibe, knowledgeable, takes times to answer questions and is honest and upfront about things..... I recommended her to some of friends and family !!

She's very friendly and knowledgeable. I love visiting her.

Dr. Prasad happened to be the doctor on call when I came in labor, I had seen her twice during my pregnancy. I am so glad she was the doctor on call, she listened to me ,kept me posted on my progress, also addressed my family ( Bonus points for that- I had about 10 of my family members in the room, not during delivery of course)....... She even pushed with me, taught me different techniques.... Bottom line: Great care!!

I went to this physician after my pregnancy test was positive, unfortunately had a miscarriage but she did a great job being there, answering my quest ...

I have seen Dr Prasad a couple of times now over the past 18 months. My experience with her has been very good. I would highly recommend her if you li ...
