Stay away from this dr. She would not allow my spouse to be on phone to support me while I was in office to learn results of CT coronary exam and lab. She actually scold me as soon she entered the exam room and said didn’t my nurse tell you, I won’t allow your spouse to be on the phone? The results were not good and she could care less. Horrible!!

Dr. Prabhakar is amazing! In addition to being a great doctor, she listens to my concerns and takes the time to answer my questions. She really cares about me and my health. It's hard to find a caring, thorough doctor these days so I am especially glad to have found her.
