Expertise & Research Interests
Having completed a fellowship in both Neurosurgical and Orthopedic spine surgery, Dr. Prasad brings a full breadth of spine expertise to his patients. His practice is committed to spine surgery, and he takes care of all problems that affect the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Dr. Prasad exercises a very conservative philosophy, believing that surgical intervention is really a last resort.
