Meet Dr. Sarita Prasad & Janet Holland
Dr. Sarita Prasad
Dr. Prasad is a board-certified Functional Medicine and Family Medicine physician who is passionate about finding the root cause of illness. She takes the approach of healing the mind, body, and soul. She has always been passionate about seeking answers to complex problems and believes that a comprehensive approach can really address the mental health crisis in our society. She strongly believed in the capacity of mind and body to overcome even the driest circumstances and for all human beings to live to the fullest.
She finished her Residency in Family medicine in 2007 from UIC. Very early in her professional career, she noticed that our conventional healthcare system is a revolving door for chronic conditions. Considering that the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and other mental health illnesses is increasing despite the use of antidepressants and other conventional treatments, she uses a framework of finding the root cause with an evidence-based lens. She is determined to look beyond the pharmaceutical-based treatment and find solutions that are more holistic with gentle natural treatments and encompass prevention.
