“Dr. Proothi sees me once a year, and each year he writes a prescription for a blood test for the next year. So he did not write any during the last three months. I got the blood test one week before my appointment and saw the results online soon thereafter. No one needed to call me about the results because I discussed them with Dr. Proothi during the appointment.”

“Doing a good job.”

“When you get the Diagnosis of cancer, you feel like the floor dropped from under your feet. Dr Proothi is one of the kindest Doctors I have, and I have a lot. My Mother went to him 43 years ago, she said the same thing. She waited to long to seek help and died very young. His PA and nurses are also outstanding, no question is ever an imposition. I really believe they care. Some nurses are their for the paycheck. The PA and Nurse are there to help. Compaction is the understatement when you talk about them. Sometimes you worry for no reason, if I call the office I always get support. St Luke's should be proud to have them in their employment. Dr Proothi. Thank You for your time!”
