At first when I got there they handed me paperwork. I told them I did all paperwork online. They said "oh, we don't use that. We have our own paperwork . At that point I texted Zodic and shared what I was told. I spent a lot of time filling out thorough paperwork- medication list, health history and other information that I did not bring to appointment. One of your reps called the office and they ended up printing it off for Doctor. Thanks for your help!??

If you are looking for a primary care physician, you need to look elsewhere. Despite being posted on ZocDoc as a primary care physician, Dr. Prakash is a specialist (cardiologist); this may affect your expenses; it certainly did mine.
That being said, as a primary care physician, Dr. Prakash has been generally unhelpful in providing assistance for various needs. When your healthcare professional throws up his hands and says "I don't know" as often as he does, it gets a little frustrating. I've left his office on more than one occasion feeling it was a complete waste of time and money.
If you are looking for a specialist, then please ignore this review. I am unable to comment on Dr. Prakash in this capacity.

Dr. Prakash was very professional and sympathetic to why I scheduled an appointment. We booked a follow up stress test for next week just to make sure everything is okay (due to my family history).
