I love this practice! Drs. Prabhu and Shiva are the best as well as their PAs & NP and office staff. I have used DIM for many years and wouldn’t think of changing.

Dr. Shiva is an excellent doctor who takes time with his patients. He listens to his patients and is very thorough with his assessments. I am so confident in Dr. Shiva after taking care of me all these years that I am now bringing my 18 year old son to be his patient. Great service and great care!

Yes certainly we would go back . Doctor is a good listener, did thorough diagnosis and provided answers with good explanation. We could not expect more from any physicians.

Dr. Shivalingappa is very friendly and a great listener. I had to drive from the city and took a wrong turn, and the office staff were understanding and kind when I called to let them know I was running 20 minutes late. Also, he made sure that the staff booking my follow-up appointment set it for telehealth because of my long commute.
