    I don't have any problem with my caring doctors and nurses They're all good to me

    Dr. Prasad immediately heard my concerns and validated how I was feeling. She is up to date with the current guidelines and recommendations and approved me for an iron infusion despite other providers repeatedly denying me. She is a great physician and I truly appreciate her making the time to see me and help me.

    The Care Provider is an excellent communicator who makes me and my husband confident in her ability to handle and treat my breast cancer should it leave remission.
  • Jul 9, 2026
    I scheduled my infusion on the same date as th Doctor visit with Preethi Prasad, MD. I have mobility issues due to auto accident that required surgery on both knees. So, one trip to the medical facility at Methodist West is beneficial for me.The infusion took longer than the 1 hour appointment window allotted. So, it ran into Dr Prasad's scheduled time of 3:00 PM. Instead of having me make another trip to her office, she waited for the infusion to be completed, the took me in for her examination. Great doctor that takes the entire patients medical history into account.She also ordered two tests to be scheduled and let me know that I could ask to have those done back to back as well. If that department can schedule it like that. Very good doctor that goes above & beyond!
