    Unfortunately, Dr Prabhu was unable to do anything for me at this time. I understand why, would just like to have some resolution to my pain.

    Dr. Ajita Prabhu was familiar with my experience prior to meeting her. She looked me directly in the eye and discussed important aspects of the accident I was in and the injuries sustained. She did not look at the computer at all. I connected with her and I feel comfortable with the plan moving forward. Dr. Noah Weingarten assisted her and briefed her. Both doctors and the nurse handled the appointment well. Thank you.
