I have been a patient of Dr. Prabhu's for approx 5 years. All of my visits have been very positive. He is very personable, and professional., and truly cares about his patients. He is a credit to his profession, and we are very lucky to have him in Penticton. His assistants are also very accommodating.

I saw Dr Prabhu for removal of a squamous cell lesion on my shin. He is a kind, caring man with good surgical skills and a professional manner. His office assistant is friendly and accommodating.

Dr Prabhu has been my doctor since 2004. He is a gentle caring man with an enjoyable sense of humor. He has removed several cancer growths from my face and body. His explanations of the surgeries and possible outcomes are clear and concise. His quiet demeanor and assurances were paramount to removing any stress or concerns I many have had. He is an excellent surgeon. Although he is now working part time, I hope he will continue to practice in our city for many years. There is no one here who can 'fill his shoes'. Thank your Dr. Prabhu for your dedication, compassion and expertise in your chosen profession. I highly recommend you.

I've seen Dr. Prabhu on several occasions. He removed 2 separate basal cell carcinomas, one on my scalp, the other on my lip. The scar on my lip separated. He said if I didn't like it he would fix it for free. And he did. I even brought up another issue for which I didn't get a referral and be looked into that anyway.

I have seen this doc five times, he barely examines me, asks weird over-personal questions and just kept throwing antibiotics at me. The fifth visit he just said, 'well, you're young, you will probably get over it,' this after 9 different times of taking antibiotics. A swab was never even done. Go to someone else.

My visits with Dr. Prabhu have been a totally positive experience. He is a caring professional who diagnosed and assessed a (what turned out to be quite large) basal cell carcinoma on my face and expedited my referral to Vancouver for a Mohs procedure to remove. In the absence of dermatologists operating outside of the lower mainland who work within the BC Medical system we are truly blessed to have this health care professional providing assistance to patients who would have no other resource available to them because of this gap in the BC Medical care system . I had another consultation with him this morning, again to provide that all important basic assessment and referral for biopsy on another skin growth on my face. Thank you Dr. Prabhu.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Prabu. From the removal of a saliva gland tumor back in 2004 to currently helping with an ear problem, he has been the utmost professional. He has a reputation as one of the leaders in his field.

I have seen Dr. Prabhu for many years and have never ever had a negative experience with him. He is more than a physician. He is very intuitive and philosophical and addresses more than the physical nature of health issues. He is very caring, kind and really hears what you have to say.

Thank you Dr Prabu-in this small town we are very lucky to have such an accomplished specialist. He has done surgery 2x on my young daughter, once for ear tubes and the second time for adenectomy. Both surgeries were very successful. He is a very busy man and we did have some complications with anti-biotics after the first surgery but when I called his office to discuss they were very helpful and even offered to have me talk to him about our specific issue-how many times do you call a specialist and you don't even get to talk to the receptionist, let alone are able to talk to the physician...anyhow, they are often running a little lat but really it is just that can be very chatty, also he is very caring to our young children when they are being examined; we really are very fortunate to have someone of his caliber working in our community.
