Dr. Prasad is outstanding. At my visit, he took the time to listen to each of my concerns and considered them carefully. He then implemented a reasonable plan to rule out any serious issues and to try to get to the bottom of my symptoms. He explained how the heart works, what might cause problems and what the symptoms of those problems would be. He explained how each drug that might help works and what the side effects of each drug might be. He went the extra mile to make sure that I understood the choices and helped me make the right ones for my situation.
