What is Dr. Vikas Prasad's specialty?
Dr. Prasad is a Nuclear Medicine Specialist near Saint Louis, MO. Nuclear Medicine Specialist has expertise in using the properties of radioactive atoms and molecules for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, as well as for medical research purposes.
