Patient Reviews
Dec 10, 2019
Love Dr. Prakasam, but his staff was less than courteous when I needed help with a prior authorization issue. The nurse practitioner that I spoke with over the phone contradicted herself more than once and was very short tempered. The rest of the staff has always been sweet. Hopefully they will get someone more knowledgeable and better equipped to handle the insurance portion, then they'd have a great office.
