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.

Dr. Prasad is amazing and so knowledgeable!
My son has been seeing Dr. Prasad for almost 17 years. She discovered his brain tumor when he was 4, after his pediatrician laughed at my concerns. She set us up with the best doctors at NYU. His surgery was a success and she's been taking care of him since. My son is about to turn 21 so we need to find an adult endo. This breaks my heart because Dr. Prasad is truly amazing and I hate that we have to go elsewhere.

It was the bad experience I ever had with any Dr. She was very mean with my daughter first, she has no manners. she then told me (the mom) I should be Knowledgeable so she can explain to me. Yah, she treating me like ignorant. I agree on this, because I was seeking her help while she needs help herself. To all Parents, please do your research before heading to any doctor. for this one, don't waste your time.
