Dr. Prasad is a great doctor who care so much about her patients. She listens to our concerns and questions. We really can’t thank her enough. She cares for my two sons and provide great medical advise and plan.

No manners with the children. talk to me (the parent) as ignorant. I should do my research very well before choosing any doctor.

Been trying to call her office to get an answer if my son has to be on meds. Day 3 of numerous phone calls, and still no answer. Very poorly run office, management of the practice has alot to be desired.

She is worth the wait, if there happens to be one the day of your appointment. The wait is because she is taking her time with a patient that needs it. She will do the same for you. She is wonderful! Great bedside manner. Explains things thoroughlly, very kind and knowledgable.

I waited over two hours to see this doctor, and then she was rude and told me she didn't have time to answer my questions about my son. She directed me to make a follow up appointment, which she was unable to accommodate for more than 30 days. My insurance has a very limited number of doctors in this specialty area and I hate being held hostage to a rude, uncaring and disrespectful physician. If you have any other option, take it.
