About Dr. Prab R. Tumpati
Dr. Prab R. Tumpati is board certified in Internal Medicine and Sleep Medicine and is board eligible in the new field of Obesity Medicine. He earned his Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery from Osmania Medical College and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at Abington Memorial Hospital. Dr. Tumpati's passion lies in prevention rather than cure. With fellowship training in Obesity Medicine, he offers a unique approach to wellness, weight loss, and prevention.
Dr. Tumpati takes pride in helping patients reduce or come off many chronic lifestyle medications such as those for blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes by guiding them to lose weight and change their lifestyle. According to research published by the Yale Institute of Prevention, up to 90% of diabetes, 80% of cardiovascular disease, and 60% of cancers are preventable!
Our practice provides primary care, preventive care, sleep disorder management, and physician-supervised weight loss and wellness programs. Unlike most other programs that are "cash only," we accept health insurance for weight loss and wellness. Due to high demand and limited physician availability, we currently accept only 10 new patients per week. Thanks to the healthcare law passed in 2010, screening and preventive services are now covered 100% by most insurances, including Medicare. This means you might be able to live healthily and lose weight under physician supervision without out-of-pocket expenses.
It is well established that sleep disorders, metabolic problems, and weight gain are closely interrelated. Being board certified in sleep medicine, Dr. Tumpati is well versed in managing Sleep Apnea, Narcolepsy, Restless Leg Syndrome, Hypersomnia, daytime sleepiness, and more. He is also the medical director of our state-of-the-art sleep diagnostic and treatment centers. You can call us at 1-800-W8MD-007 to learn more about our services.

They are very professional and caring people and I want to help him.I will recommend them to anybody who wants to lose weight.I've been there before so I know how it is.They work very well with the patients and they're kind impatient too
August 1, 2025Lula Mae A.Verified patient
The provider wasn't present. No matter how many times I described my situation....He didn't respond with something that indicated that he was not listening
He wasn't there in person. No one contacted me about this, so I had to go to the office just to see him digitally....it felt a bit insulting..
He recommended weight loss medicine before addressing my issues and concerns. I was there for sleep issues.
July 22, 2025Briana C.Verified patient
As a first time patient in this office, I was extremely impressed. I knew before my appointment that my insurance was not accepted, I would be paying cash, amd tje exact amount that Iwould be paying for the visit. There were no surprise charges.
The staff was very nice, informative, and answered any questions or concerns that I had. The wait time was not too long at all, and when I met with the Doctor, he was just as great as his staff. He listened to me and all of my concerns, he asked what I wanted to do for my body first, and then added his expertise to what I was comfortable with. I will definitely be going back to this Dr./office monthly. I will also be referring anyone I can to this Dr./office that needs any help with weightloss or sleep issues.

It’s important when the staff & Dr. remembers you by name & greets with a smile.
You’re assessed, educated on weight loss, gain, what you should & should not be eating. Specialty drinks, bars, soups are also available.
The waiting area could use some attention.
March 21, 2025Dorlmarie B.Verified patient
I would not under any circumstances recommend this doctor's office to anybody of color African-American or black this office has a bias towards these types of people.
