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.

Outstanding doctor who’s leaving Russellville, AR
Outstanding doctor who saved my life!!! This is a top notch doctor who see thing that 90% of other doctors do not catch!!! He’s beyond exception and as a register nurse I can spot great doctors and he is one!!!! He will be incredibly missed!!!! I’m so sad to see him go. So many people will not get the fantastic care he offered!!! I guess I’ll have to drive to Waco, TX for care since there’s no one that can take his place! NO ONE!

I would not be alive if it wasn't for this man. Two other doctors attempted to install stints and were unsuccessful. He persevered until he found a back way. He is kind and loving. I am grateful to God and Dr. Prayaga to be here.

Tired of always waiting hours for an under 5 minute exam. Backs out door while I am still asking questions. Little or no follow through on important procedures. Repeated scheduling nightmares thanks to incompetent staff member. Nice guy but inattentive as a doctor. Always felt like I was herded through like cattle.

He was sincere, professional, and respectful. Answered questions, provided appropriate testing, displayed knowledge of latest research, and did so without being an egotistical 'you know what'!
