    Dr. Shiva Prasad is a wonderful, wonderful practitioner. She has incredible listening skills and she is very kind, courteous, and helpful in her diagnosis and discussion with myself, patient. I recommend her to anyone. I feel very comfortable with her and her team in the office was quite pleasant and helpful. I'm also grateful that they contacted me with a year later to get the testing that they wanted me to get and then they sent me in timely to have it reviewed with her and make an appointment. I'd recommend her to everybody. She's incredible in the gastroentinology department there at Virtua.

    Dr. Shivaprasad is an excellent doctor who explains everything very thoroughly. She knows my history, was in contact with my other doctors, and has the ability to bring a smile to your face even while dealing with a difficult subject like returning cancer. Her knowledge, her professionalism and her sincerity in truly being concerned about your wellbeing make you realize you are in extremely great hands. I have recommended her to a friend and I know that there is not a better doctor in her field!

    Dr Shivaprasad treated my wife and I as if she had known us for a long time even though I'm a relatively new patient. She explained everything to us step by step and consulted another doctor to confirm her directions about taking a medication. She couldn't have been more gracious and caring.
