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.

Dr. Prachi Karnik Is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly & kind. Dr. Karnik has accommodated my much needed medical issues & debilitating health problems, which has made it possible for me to live a independent lifestyle. Thank you. Outstanding experience!

I really like Dr. Karnik. I think she could improve her explanation of anything to look out for as far as adverse reactions to specific medications or how long certain medications should be required to be used before seeking other treatment. There was no discussion of those things. Although I do understand that it is not possible for her to know those things about every medication, so I am able to research that at home. But I think it should be good that if it is not someone with those sensitivities or ability then maybe she could have the nurse follow up email those patients with that type of information. Outside of that I do appreciate Dr. Karniks open discussion with me and including me in the care plan. I feel very happy that she is my primary care doctor.

I'm very fortunate to have such an amazing Dr. I have been her patient since 2004 and I have always been grateful she has not relocated to where she could no longer be my doctor. She did move from El Cajon to downtown San Diego and I followed her because she's been a great doctor to me!

Dr. Karnik was very good. She listened to me and suggested conservative treatments on how to alleviate the issues I've been having with my jaw. She also gave me information on Advanced Care Directive which was very helpful. I felt comfortable talking with her.
