About Pinki Prasad

I specialize in Cancer Care. I became a healthcare provider because I'm inspired by my patients and feel privileged to be on their journey. The kids are so resilient. They laugh, smile, and play with you even on their toughest days. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I treat my patients like family and make them feel comfortable in their environment. My little something extra: I rode horses growing up. I also danced for 19 years.

    This provider is the most generous person in which to be under their care. I will forever be grateful for everything they have done for me.

    In 12 years, you have not found a cure for cancer. And I am told by the doctor herself that she's only a messenger. So either she is a doctor or she is a messenger, because you can't be both. Is it medical negligence or you're hiding the cure to cancer or to the disease that my daughter has? which is it.
