I love seeing Dr Prabhu and all the providers at this pratice, from the muse practitioners to the allergy shot-givers, to the doctors, to the students. I have never had a bad eperience. I particularly appreciate the suggestion for allergy drops to deal with my seasonal and pet allergies. The drops are an easy solution I can administer myself at home, with occasional visits to the office for quick shots (which is also a great time to remember to make an appointment for any other issues.). I really appreciate the doctor’s suggestion that the allergy shots might alleviate some of my other problems. The practice is so helpful in helping me take care of my own health. I recommend them to everyone.
I can’t recommend Dr. Prabhu and this office enough! They are so kind, understanding, and incredibly efficient. Both my husband and I are patients here, and the team has gone above and beyond for us, especially when it came to navigating and figuring out our insurance. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and you can truly tell they care about their patients. It’s rare to find a medical office that combines professionalism with such genuine compassion, but this one absolutely does.
Verified patient
Very confusing office. Staff unclear with instructions and sent me to places that were closed. I went in to get blood pressure medicine and they never told me whether they prescribed me something or not and the website shows medicine but not where to pick it up. Overall very poor experience and I would not recommend to anyone. I felt very rushed and they did not take time to listen to what I wanted help with. Seems like they just wanted me out of there as quick as possible
Verified patient
The provider takes a while to review my labs. I still haven't gotten a feedback, prescription or treatment plan regarding my concerns. I followed up with the office and they just told me to wait for a call. I'm feeling ill and I just wait? Also during my visit the front desk was going to send me home without my labs being done like they didn't review my referrals, I had to remind them. Not very friendly either.
Competent, concise and considerate.
Verified patient
The office was clean and nice looking. The staff were very attentive and understanding. I felt like I was treated like a peer when I saw the nurses. I did not see the doctor, but her nurses were great! I will definitely go again!
Verified patient
As a first-time patient, I’m thrilled to have found my doctor! The team genuinely cares about your health, unlike large corporate hospitals that treat you like just another number. I had the pleasure of meeting with two highly skilled NPs who were attentive to my concerns, as well as Dr. Prabhu, who was equally caring and thorough. If you’re looking for a doctor and a dedicated, skilled staff, this is definitely the place to be!
Verified patient
I didn’t see Dr Prahbu like I booked but honestly I didn’t mind!! I saw an NP named Jennifer and she was amazing. Super attentive and helpful. There was also an np student but I forget her name she was great too. All the women in the office were really nice and helpful I felt very comfortable which is the most important thing for me!!
Verified patient
attentive Physician and well informed
Verified patient
Very pleased with professional but friendly attitude of staff. Answered questions in non- hurried manner. First visit went very well.
Verified patient
Dr. Prabhu is a wonderful doctor to work with! She listened to my needs and concerns thoughtfully, and even though it was my first visit with their practice, they made me feel heard and seen. She's not judgmental, and from my first impression of her, she was genuinely understanding. As I'm a plus size woman who is obese (probably "morbidly" since that's the word they use, and already has a certain connotation) and trying to lose weight and get my health in order, I've dealt with my fair share of doctors who've had their biases dealing with someone my size. Dr. Prabhu is willing to help me and not judge and for that, I can't be thankful enough.
Verified patient
Dr. Veena Prabhu was phenomenal! I have so much health anxiety due to some past scares and Veena along with her NP student, Maggie, put me right at ease. She addressed all of my concerns, and then her follow up action items and recommendations reflected her keen listening ear. I have gone through 2 different PCPs and I have now found my permanent doctor!
Great service, friendly staff.
Verified patient
I was very happy with the extra time they took to talk about all my questions and concerns. We talked about a few different things that I have going on and they suggested options that we could try. Very nice staff in the office.
Verified patient
Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I was seen by NP Erica and she was fabulous! She took the time to get to know me and I felt at ease. From check-in to check-out, it was a great experience!
Very professional and courteous team!
Verified patient
I had a very good experience with this office and it’s staff. Dr Veena Praphu was very kind and attentive and made me feel extremely comfortable and safe In her care and office. I am very happy with my first visit at this office.
Verified patient
I didn't get to meet the doctor I made the appointment for, with no explanation. While staff was friendly, I was uncomfortable with the lack of privacy. The walls were thin, I could here what was going on in the exam rooms next to mine, and overhear them discussing my own information in the hallway.
I had searched for a new doctor since I’d moved recently and my previous doctor was over 50 miles away. The staff was very professional. The nurse practitioner went patiently through my medical history and I was later seen by Dr Prabhu who patiently explained what follow up tests. I felt very confortable with my choice.
Verified patient
I had a great experience at this office! All of the staff was very through and great listeners! I spent the most amount of time I ever have with a doctor talking through my concerns. They took the time to learn and understand my history and also give options of next steps. Highly recommend and will 100% go back
Verified patient
It was one of the best experience. All staff members from check in to check out were friendly. Dr and nurse practitioners were amazing with explaining and going over all medical concerns. Left happy and with no questions.
Verified patient
Dr. Prabhu and her team were not only professional and transparent, but their mannerisms were very kind and friendly. I usually hate doing to the doctor but this was a very informative and helpful visit.
Verified patient
By far the best decision I've made in a while choosing this doctor. She truly is one of the best I've had in a while, she actually took the time to listen to everything I had to say and came up with a healthy plan. She made me feel comfortable and relieved. I highly recommend her!
Verified patient
Everyone was so wonderful there! The doctor listened to me and helped me better than anyone has before! Will for sure go back!!

I have never had an appointment that was as thorough. Never felt rushed, and since it was my initial visit, they went through my whole health history. I can’t say thank you enough to Dr Veena and her staff. The staff and doctor so professional and so kind. Thank you ??
