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.

Review for Dr. Prasad
Dr. Prasad was recommended for consultation on my dealing with stenosis. When I met with him, he explained the treatment for doing a lumbar laminectomy and described what would be done, how long it would take, and what to expect post-op. Any and all questions were answered in understandable English and detailed exactly what to expect.

I underwent laproscopic surgery on L 3 through 5. Dr. Prasad was not only the nicest guy, but had no problems answering any questions and explaining them to me so it was easy to understand. 6 weeks after surgery and I feel like a brand new man thanks to him.

Outstanding Surgeon and Wonderful Person!
I have no words to express how thankful I am to Dr. Prasad, who gave me a chance for brighter future and life without pain. After three unsuccessful surgeries on my lower back with another surgeon Dr. Prasad agreed to fix it up. For me he made a miracle but he called it just unusual situation and it says about his exceptional talent and professionalism. I am grateful to his team and Ashley who is always attentive and supportive. Dr. Prasad, thank you for who you are, for your golden hands, for all hard work you perform and for wonderful, amazing person you are! I am really blessed to have you in my life!

Outstanding Doctor
I has a lumbar fusion and laminectomy. I knew it worked as soon as I woke up from surgery. The back ache, hamstring numbness and sciatica were all gone. I was done with the walker in two days, off pain killers in 3 days. Dr. Prasad did great work. The follow-up care was excellent. I have my life back. If you need back surgery this is your doctor. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. He is busy. Expect a wait but it's worth it.

Neurosurgical Genius, Artist and Craftsman
Dr Prasad is a very gifted neurosurgeon. After many preliminary evaluations, with a variety of professionals, regarding my backward falls that resulted in a fractured vertebra and constant excruciating pain I was referred by Dr. Scogna to Dr. Prasad for surgery. Both doctors and staff are fantastic. Dr. Prasad clearly explained my situation and carefully planned a course of action. He is a most kind and compassionate doctor. I learned that there were several issues with my spine that need his help. He addressed the stenosis, scoliosis, fracture, compression, and abnormal spine angle cautiously. The quality of life issues were also addressed and of concern. My plan included PT prior to surgery, surgical performance for all corrections at the same time, follow up checkup and xrays,and followup PT. Dr Prasad is staffers are the best!

I highly recommend Dr Prasad and staff.
I can’t speak highly enough of the excellent care & concern that I received from Dr Prasad and his surgery and office staff. Any concerns or questions I had were always answered quickly and with lots of care for my post surgery issues and concerns.I am happy to say that I am pain free and thrilled I’m able to walk and stand again. I am well on my way to a great recovery and Physical Therapy and getting back to activities before my back pain halted all of that. Thank You for answered prayers.

Excellent Outcome
Dr Prasad analyzed my condition and designed a minimally invasive surgical approach that completely eliminated my horrific radiating pain. His communication skills are outstanding as he prepared me for everything I encountered before, during and after the surgery. He and his staff’s level of care and support is incredible. I recommend him without hesitation.

Amazing
Best surgeon I could ask for. Good communicator, reliable, caring, and great in the operating room. He completed a fusion on my l4-l5 lumbar region. It was the last resort and I couldn’t be happier with how I feel now. Best surgeon you could ask for and so intelligent.

Best Surgeon
Dr. Prasad spent time with me explaining everything about my condition and the surgery that he would perform. He was patient and allowed me and my husband to ask as many questions as needed to make sure we were comfortable moving forward. I had complete faith in him and his team going into my surgery. After the surgery, he spent time with me and my husband explaining in detail all that was done. My recovery has been amazing as I am able to walk again without pain and numbness. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Prasad for the excellent care he gave me and for giving me back my life.

100% Excellent Surgeon!!
Dr. Prasad is the most caring, compassionate, patient, knowledgeable and talented physician. I’m 3 months out from major back surgery. I have rods, screws and spacers from L2-L-5. I am able to stand and walk because of Dr. Prasad! I also can’t say enough about his office staff. They are truly wonderful!! Every time I’ve had a question or concern I’ve received a phone call back within a reasonable amount of time. Dr. Prasad and the nurses explained everything in such a way that I just knew I was in good hands. I feel very lucky that I took the recommendation from a former patient of Dr.Prasad’s.

Did not seem to take a genuine interest in my case
I saw Dr Prasad for low back pain after he was recommended by a friend in the healthcare field. I had 3 appts with him in 7 months. Each time he ordered more diagnostic tests. After 7 months of seeing him, he passed me off to his partner Dr Heller. After waiting 5 weeks for an appt with Dr Heller, he to wanted more tests and a follow up appt tin 5 weeks. I had difficulty scheduling the tests, one of which, the testing facility had never heard of. I left a message for someone from Dr Heller's office to call me back to clarify the test requested and have not yet received a call back. I feel that neither Dr Prasad or Heller had a genuine interest in helping me. I wish they would have just told me that 7 months ago.

An excellent skilled neurosurgeon
I came to Dr Prasad with an extremely complex spinal disorder. Dr Prasad performed a lumbar fusion and high grade spondylolisthesis repair that took over 11 hours over two days. I could not have hoped for a more competent caring surgeon. It’s been 6 months now and I have no pain and I can walk over two miles. I am grateful to Dr Prasad and the Jefferson team every day.

Recommendation for Dr. Prasad
When I met Dr. Prasad, I was in severe lower back pain and mostly bedridden for a long time. My Pain Mgmt Dr. could no longer help me, and referred me to Dr. Prasad. Dr. Prasad reviewed my case and said he could help me. He was my last, best hope. Dr. Prasad immediately made me feel at ease. He was considerate and caring. He patiently and clearly explained how he could help me...answering all of my questions. He and his professional and caring team of nurses supported me all through the procedure, and continue to follow my progress. The lumbar fusion was Sept 2021. I have exceeded my recovery goals, and can now walk, exercise, play with my grandchildren, dance, and enjoy life...no longer needing pain meds, a wheelchair, walker or cane! I later needed a cervical fusion this year, June 2022. I felt blessed that Dr. Prasad performed this surgery as well. Surpassed all goals as well. I will always be grateful to Dr. Prasad! He is an exceptional surgeon! He cares!
