Working with Dr. Prashant Charugundla
In my speciality, ego and a ‘cowboy’ mentality can get in the way of collaboration. I'm here to be a true partner working together to navigate challenges and deliver the best care possible.
Humility
Mutual respect and collaboration are essential. I believe diverse perspectives improve patient care.
Integrity
My conservative, integrative approach values honesty and prioritizes long-term outcomes over profit.
Openess
I’m open to alternative approaches and committed to making communication easy.

What Does It Really Mean to Be “Connected” in Oral Surgery?
Our whole-person, collaborative approach.
Dr. Charugundla believes great care happens when skilled people work together—not just to fix a problem, but to support the whole person behind it. He values the expertise and unique human-touch each collaborator brings, knowing that kind of teamwork can make a real difference for patients.
We view oral health as inseparable from overall health, recognizing its impact on the whole body. We do our part to bridge the gap between dental and medical care to address systemic implications.
We practice evidence-based care enhanced by Eastern values that prioritize the bigger picture. This approach opens new, patient-centered pathways to healing without compromising the highest standards of care.
We believe collaboration across specialties is vital to optimal outcomes. By partnering with a variety of healthcare professionals, including those in complementary and alternative medicine, we deliver truly comprehensive care.
Trust in healthcare is being eroded through systemic failings – restoring confidence is partly our responsibility. To this end, we consider social, emotional, and spiritual factors, aiming to support opportunities for other healing in our patient interactions.
