About Prachi A. 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.

Dr. Prachi Karnik is a very professional, diligent, friendly & kind Internal medicine doctor. Practically all of my physical health problems are acknowledged, addressed & then proper treatment is put into motion. I'm very thankful for her being my Primary Care Physician. I wish Dr. Karnik could of helped me with my very much needed mental health & wellness, reference my PTSD + Severe Anxiety + Panic Attacks + Severe Insomnia. On my own I eventually located the help I so desperately needed. Hopefully this is the beginning of my much needed mental health/wellness & my peace of mind.

The best care I have had with Sharp to date - Dr. Karnik was incredibly detailed and took the time to review my entire chart. I felt listened to and very happy that she is now my PCP.
