At this time, Dr. Prakash decided to change his focus to family medicine and geriatric care in which he could bring into play his extensive surgical experience and knowledge while also being able to provide compassionate and personal primary care. He completed his family practice residency at Mount Sinai-St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Paterson, NJ and his Geriatric fellowship at Robert Wood Johnson University, New Brunswick. After receiving his board certification in both Family Medicine and Geriatrics, Dr.Prakash worked in Wayne and Chester, NJ before moving down to Sarasota, Florida in 2002 with his family and opening a private practice along with his wife, Dr. Shanthi Prakash.
