Thorough,compasionate, professional care
Dr. Prakash has taken excellent care of me over the past 5 years. He has at all times addressed any concerns I might have had. I owe my life to his intervention at the the beginning of our relationship. He called me at 11:30 P.M. after reviewing my labs , and had me go immediately to the ER. He continued to provide excellent care afterward.

Awesome kidney doctor!
I am so glad that he is my kidney doctor. I just recently found out that I am spilling a lot of protein in my urine and I was referred to see him. Thanks to him, he caught my disease at a early stage and I am on the right medications to prevent anymore kidney damage. I am beyond thankful for him! Thank you Dr. Prakash for practically saving my life!

Grateful to be under his care!
After months of battling with high blood pressure and being sent from one specialist to another, I found Dr. Prakash. It was such a relief to find a doctor who really listens. He is thorough and professional and on top of that he is kind and compassionate. My blood pressure was under control within days, and it really gave me my life back. I call him the ‘blood pressure whisperer’ as he managed to turn my problem around so quickly by simply listening, ordering the appropriate lab work, and then tweaking and supplementing my medication. His staff is friendly and always helpful. I am forever grateful to be under his care.

Disappointed
I was referred to Dr. Prakash by a family member, but I am very disappointed by how the appointment went. I was told that he is very attentive to his patients and listens empathetically but I experienced a complete opposite experience. Every time that I would try to talk, the doctor would talk over what I was saying. It was a struggle to have a conversation with the doctor. His phone was turned on and rang while we were in the room, he pulled out his phone and looked at it and said “Oh it’s a scam.” He has terrible bedside manner and is rudely blunt. I have a chronic kidney condition and I don’t need a doctor to sugarcoat what he tells me but this doctor lacks empathy and I’m very disappointed in the whole visit.

I went to Dr. Prakash recently as I was on multiple BP medications, but nothing was working for me, however after consulting with him, I'm on less drugs than before and my blood pressure is far better controlled. I'm feeling better than ever! THANK YOU DR. PRAKASH you are amazing.

Dr. Prakash found the root of my problem. I had uncontrollable high blood pressure, I had a procedure, and I now I only take medication if my pressure is over 160. Since January, this has only happened twice. If you are having challenges with your blood pressure, this is the doctor to see.
