Prior to his appointment at Pranav Diabetic centre and Columbia Asia hospital as Consultant diabetologist. He was a Principal Investigator in many of clinical trials to a name a few –Venous Leg Ulcer, Hypertriglyceridemia, Dyslipidaemia, Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Diabetic Neuropathy and many more.
This was my second visit to Dr. Prasad. I had been under treatment for subclinical hypothyroidism with a daily Thyroxin dose of 25mcg when I visited him in Feb, 2016. . Once he looked at my test results and history of treatment, he told me I didn't really need to be under treatment as my condition is very mild and it was also the first time any doctor had told me I actually had Autoimmune Thyroditis. I went off of medication for two months. Today, I visited Dr. Prasad after getting a fresh test of FT4 and TSH done and everything is normal. He said I can stay off the medication for another six months. I'm super happy that I don't need to take a tab every day. He's advised that I watch my diet and get regular exercise to avoid putting on weight, and to also get the same tests done every six months. I'm very happy with him because he thinks out of the box, explains your condition to you really well, and does not prescribe medicines unless absolutely necessary. He also made sure to let me know that even if I do have to start taking the meds later, it's no big deal, and that it's a condition that's very easily controlled. He put me at ease about it. Thank you, Dr. Prasad!
Visited For Thyroid Disorders
He explain me that we need some test and we have done with those. As i have Hypothyroid so the treatment is for long term and and i am still continuing with the doctor. As of now i am not that much impressed with the treatment but as everybody know that Hypothyroid treatment takes time so i am continuing the treatment. the medications are same only measurement will change what i was wanted to know as kind of explanation about the effect of treatment and drugs those i am taking on regular basis At least once in a month i should know the effect of the treatment. That what i didn't get there. In brief he has explained me about the treatment but in details i am not aware about the the effect of treatment on my body.
He use to spend five to six minutes in consultation. The appointment time is not like that first come first serve.who ever is sitting in the reception they are not following the appointment process efficiently.Either it should be first come first serve or according to the appointment time .Either the things they are following in the clinic for patient seeing to the doctor. As I have visited first in the clinic but i could not able to see the doctor on my turn May be reception person knows that another person so they have given them chance to see the doctor first. I could see my name was written in the register but i could not get chance to see him first . These are things where they can improve their practice. Overall experience was okay kind of.
I visited to GM Prasd for my father he has some problem. There was no problem while booking the appointment. The consultation as really good.The doctor prescription really hel;ped us. The time which i have selected for that we just waited for five minutes. My father came here for his treatment and as i have selected Dr prased that he has good recommendation. The only small concern i had there was some delay on geting the investigation report but we have ignored it as doctor was really good we were impressed with him. I absolutely like to recommend this doctor.
As we wer planning to see a good endocrinologist from a long time so finally we saw Dr prasad and got to know he is very good what he is doing as he has helped us a lot. As a matter of fact, His opinion was that he would going to cure the problem which my father had.I heard of Dr. Prasad through Practo he has highest recommendation in that particular area. so decided we decided to meet him. He is very articulate, very knowledgeable, very kind, and gave me a tremendous amount of hope that my father's problems could be treated effectively. We never thought of that kind support and hope we have received from Dr Prasad. W were thrilled, and look forward to a distinct improvement in my quality of life.
The clinic help was also very nice.Thanks to all team.
