Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

As a new patient, I was impressed with the initial physical exam given by Dr Prakash combined with the comprehensive blood panel and radiology prescribed by him. Follow up visits to his office were not, however, consistent with that initial impression. Many of my questions were either ignored or, dismissed as Dr changed the subject on numerous occassions. Additionally, I was provided with flippant remarks that were totally unexpected and in poor taste from a physician of such "calibre".
