About Prachi Karnik, MD
I became a physician because I wanted to combine my interest in biology with my desire to help people. I believe the patient and doctor are partners in achieving and maintaining good health. A positive attitude and a desire to be healthy are supremely important. The emphasis should be placed on prevention and a healthy lifestyle. Medications should only be used when necessary. I participate in the Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group Climate and Planetary Health Committee because I have an interest in addressing the impact of climate change on human health. In my spare time, I enjoy travel, reading, snowboarding and fine dining.

Verified Patient
September 15, 2024Was actually thinking of changing docs. Visits before this most recent one, MD seemed in a hurry, not answering my question in detail such as labs. Most recent visit MD seem to care more by explaining some issue in more detail, telling me what I can do to better care for myself for the best health I can be in. I will.say MD has always been nice.
