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.

So happy I found Dr. Prasad last year for my colonoscopy gastrointestinal health care. She is a wonderful person and doctor with such genuine concern for your health. Thank you Dr. Prasad.

The doctor is an amazing lady! I look forward to my next visit with her. She was so kind and patient with me. BUT the nurses that talked to me on the phone are extremely rude! I’m not one to complain but they seriously need assistance in phone conversation mannerisms. I DON’T look forward to seeing them.

Dr. Apsara Prasad, MD, is an A+ grade physician. Aside from being one of the top specialists in her field of gastroenterology, she is a doctor you can count on and relate to because she takes time to listen to you to see how she can best help you in your medical situation. She is confident, decisive, deeply knowledgeable, and skilled in performing procedures in a very professional manner. I have seen Dr. Prasad for several gastroenterology procedures and was most impressed with her ability to put her patients at ease, manage painless interventions, provide thorough and easy to understand explanations and instructions while always being respectful and forthright. Providing humane care, being compassionate and exceedingly kind is just icing on the cake with this most capable and skilled physician. I recommend Dr. Prasad highly for all your gastroenterology needs!

I was admitted to the hospital with severe rectal bleeding. Doctor Prasad went beyond what should be expected of a Physician. She found and stopped the colon bleeder. Dr. Prasad is passionate about being compassionate. She makes you feel as if you are her only patient. I only wish there were more stars to give.

I was very comfortable (as comfortable as I could be considering what we were discussing) and she made sure me and my husband understood what was going on, why and what she thought would help. She called me with test results and has even messaged me on MyChart . I feel pretty good putting my health in her hands.

She is very thorough and attentive to what you say as a patient. She takes detailed notes and is very personable. She helped to partially resolve an abdominal issue that has been occurring for over 9 months and $4,000 at another provider facility couldn’t.

I had the best experience thanks to Dr. Prasad. For a first time colonoscopy Dr.Prasad was the best, as were the entire staff, nurses and anesthesiologist. I highly recommend and suggest Dr.Prasad and her entire staff for any digestive health concerns anyone may have.

I’m the type of patient that looks at positives and negatives prior to choosing a physician. Dr. Prasad has consistently great reviews and I can add to that list. She is personable, smart, understanding and caring. She tells you everything she’s doing when performing a procedure and inquires about your comfort level. I highly recommend.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Prasad?
Dr. Prasad is an amazing and gracious person. Her "bedside manner" is stellar. I came to her because I had a positive Cologuard test. Because of my numerous health issues, I need a doctor who can look at me as a "whole" person, and not just as a gastroenterology patient. She looked back into my records, reviewed my history and came up with a plan tailored to fit my needs. She has placed me on a path which will include the opinions of several specialists, so that I can make an informed decision.
