Jan Prasad's Online Review Report Card

I have always respected Dr. Prasad's diagnosis and advice. I find him to be very professional and Knowledgeable.

I have known this incredible Cardiologist since 2003. I have put my life into his hands. That's how much trust and respect I have for Dr Prasad

I met Dr. Prasad while taking my 59 year old mother to a follow-up appointment after an ER visit and I have never met such a rude, unprofessional "doctor". While the front desk staff & nurses were wonderful, Dr. Prasad was unhelpful and condescending. My mother's concerns were dismissed and she was hardly given a chance to speak during her visit. He treated both of us rudely, discrediting the treatment my mother received from her primary care physician and questioning the efficacy of her prescription, saying that if she had the money to waste on that she should just give it to him instead. He said that he could tell just from looking at her that her problems weren’t heart related (despite 20+ years of recorded heart problems) & that because of his 40 years of experience he can look at someone for 5 seconds without running any tests and tell what’s wrong (10 seconds if he isn’t familiar with their medical history). I do not feel like any of the issues we came to discuss were addressed with any kind of seriousness. Even the high blood pressure my mother entered the room with went ignored.

My husband just loves Dr. Prasad, I think he's a pompous moron. Years ago my husband had 2 balloon procedures done I think they were un-necessary my husband is a hypochondriac and Prasad was after an easy buck. A few years later my husband is again having anxiety attacks and Prasad put in a stent cha ching. I asked him why a stent when the ballooning stayed open, no answer. I know why because stents are another $10.000 bucks in his pocket. Yesterday my husband went to Prasad's office for a stress test after 8 attempts at an IV my husband passed out and an ambulance was called. I know my husband is an easy target for certain doctors but Prasad and his office ( Bell rd) take the prize.

My name is Paul Jarvie and I live in Paradise Valley, AZ. I just left my third and last appointment with Dr. Jan Prasad, cardiologist. It was defintely the most bizzare interaction with any doctor I've had in my life. During my appointment a month ago, Dr. Prasad initially told me that based on his review of my file, all my concerns were psychosomatic. But after some conversation about my significant symptoms, I convinced him to order additional tests, which my insurance carrier was happy tyo pay for: a PET scan and Echocardiogram. (Another cardiologist in his practive implanted stents in one of my coronary arteries a few years back.) A month later I saw Dr. Prasad again where he was to provide me with the rersults of the tests. He again started out saying my issues were all in my head. But after I recommended he review the echocardiogram we had ordered the month before, he did so and immediately changed his POV. At that point he told me I had a thickening heart muscle and an aortic aneuryism. Then he left the room to attend to other patients. He provided no explanation of the implications of those issues, nor did he entertain any questions. I went home and accessed Mayo Clinic's online resource and WebMD to get information related to the issues. Fast forward to today. When I told him what I learned, he became very angry and advised that he doesn't like to work with patients who read that crap on the web. He said he has no time for those people. I responded by telling him that I'm one of "those people" who reads, asks questions, and requires answers. He replied that he has other patients who don't read outside information who he would rather work with. Dr. Prasad said all I should do is exactly what he tells me to do; nothing else! I immediately let him know that based on his postions, we saw our relationship the same. In no uncertain terms I ladvised him that it wouldn't make any sense for me to continue working with him and I terminated our relationship on the spot. Based on this experience I strongly caution anyone else with concerns about their heart to avoid "Cardiovacular Consultants, LTD" in Arizona at all costs. Dr. Prasad is one of many doctors associated with the parent company; CVC. In my opinion, the man should be immediately removed by CVC from having any interaction with patients.

Absolutely awful; I wish I could give 0 stars. I took my aunt in and this was the most unprofessional; sexist and just horrendously incorrect doctor I've ever met. And I'm currently in med school and have been working for a wide range of doctors for years along with being a care giver for my mother and interacting with her drs. Claimed if heart pain was felt during sleeping it's nothing to do with the heart and refused to listen to anything else. My aunt has previously had meds that cause heart failure later in life and so many other concerning symptoms. He then put in his records the tests he ordered weren't actually necessary so insurance cancelled them! I will be following up with his office; and then the medical board. I'm deeply concerned for my aunt and he has pushed proper care further out of reach. The medical system failed in that appointment and I'm disgusted knowing doctors like this practice medicine. Oh: and he was incredibly sexist and rude throughout.

Super rude, scream at me during visit!. Told me I have no issue despite the fact that results says otherwise. Unbelievable!! He should not be treating or advising patients!! Thinking of lawsuit...
