My experience with the nurse practitioner, Kristin and Dr. Prakash were great. However, my appointment was at 1:30 and I was not called back to the room until 2:20 pm and did not see the doctor until 2:45 pm. This was the only minor hiccup. A heads up when checking in that they were on about an hour wait would’ve been helpful. I almost finished 2 full criminal mind episodes in the lobby lol
Other than the desk check in was a little confused just by a color code on the appt thinking it was a telehealth appt the rest went better

Good overall experience I am happy with my care and providers
She was very nice.
very nice doctor
Everyone was pleasant, helpful and kind!
Check in was organised and quick. The only delay was at the lab in the second floor I stayed there for 40 minutes and no one checked on me or looked at my check in time. I had to go and talk to the tech who wasn’t aware that I was waiting because clearly she never checked which is part of her job
Dear Dr Prakash, the reason for not a 5 star is office staff, if you were not such a great dr I would find another office. When asked upon arrival if all on time I was told yes, 40 minutes later sitting in the waiting room and asking an assistant if I could be seen before my time I needed to leave for work happens, unpleasant. Then the calling in to get appointments/ procedure scheduled being on hold for more than 10 minutes to be told call back office staff unavailable is very frustrating.
It was okay
Dr Prakash helped make sure l understand my upcoming procedure, also had a solution for one of my symptoms. The nurse and staff were also very helpful.
Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Cares about finding a solution. Would highly recommend.
Very efficient and professional!
The whole experience was very positive. All the staff were very helpful, professional, and pleasant. Each person I dealt with made sure that they answered any questions I might have. Dr. Prakash and her staff made me feel much more comfortable about my upcoming procedure.
Dr. Prakash was wonderful! She listened to my concerns and went above and beyond. It’s a great feeling when your doctor really cares. Her beside manner is the best!
Dr. Prakash was very patient and took her understanding my concerns. She listened very carefully and provided thoughtful answers. She made me very comfortable and I really enjoyed my visit with her.
Hhhuu
The appointment was fine but I had to wait much too long to see the doctor. Almost an hour.
Friendly staff
She made me feel heard and cared about. She is an angel
Very courtesy they got beautiful respect they talk to you very nicely and it sounds good when you walk in the door that greet you very nicely all in all I would recommend the doctor to everyone I know.
The front desk is very kind and helpful. It was my first visit. I was happy with my dr. Explains the procedure and made me feel comfortable. Will be going back soon for my procedure
Very friendly staff.
Staffs are friendly and knowledgeable as well as courteous. to us. The procedure was performed swiftly.
Excellent
Dr. Prakash was very good but your International answering service is the worst. I have left 2 messages. Called back after the firs call when 2 weeks passed and I had not received a call . Was told by the person at the answering service that the Dr had tried to call me twice and left messages. I do not have any messages of calls listed on my phone from your office. I asked at the point to please have her give me a call. It's been about 3 weeks or more and still no follow up. Please advise. Sheri Lunn 443-864-1506. PS. I left my GP because they had an international call center as well and they also were horrible.
I have been on a hunt for a diagnosis for 28 years. She was the first doctor to really listen and give me steps to take. She did tests and procedures and offered things that I’ve never thought of. I am very grateful for her!
Very personable and listens to all your concerns
I was immediately taken back that Dr Prakash was kind, unhurried and addressed all my questions. I don’t know why bedside manner has gotten to be so bad that I should be shocked by that, but I’m glad there are practitioners that still value patient care. I’ll definitely be recommending her.
Omg the two front desk clerk were very very nice. The medical assistant was very pleasant and patient. Dr Pia Prakash was very nice, she explained everything to me very knowledgeable. Yes yes yes that office rock and yes I would definitely refer people there. This is the first time I've been to an office and everyone was polite and very helpful
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
