Dr Venkat L. Prasad, MD

It was my dream from a young age to become a doctor. I used to go on mission trips at a young age and help the physicians in the clinic. I was specifically interested in family medicine because I had great desire to be able to treat patients of different ages and backgrounds. Also, the variety of pathology and medical conditions in family medicine intrigued me. My philosophy of care is to treat the patient as a whole and not just focus on separate medical conditions. Preventive medicine is very important to me. When I am not working, I am very active with the youth in my church. I have always been involved in various activities with them such as retreats and mission trips. I also enjoy walking/jogging outdoors, visiting the beach and cooking. I also love to read.
