Dr. Prem Reddy was born in a rural village in India. He and his wife immigrated to the United States in 1976 (with hopes of a brighter future). He completed his residency training in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease at the Down State Medical Center, S.U.N.Y. in Brooklyn, New York. In 1981, he moved to California and established his medical practice in the High Desert area of Southern California.

Dr. Reddy is double Board-Certified in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. He was awarded the honor of becoming a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (“FACC”) and a Fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians (“FACP”). During his 25 years of practice in the High Desert, he has been deeply committed to the service of his patients and has performed more than 5,000 cardiac procedures, including coronary angiography and angioplasty and permanent pacemaker implantations. Due to his dedication, his practice thrived.

Dr. Reddy founded Desert Valley Medical Group (“DVMG”), a multi-specialty medical group, in 1985. DVMG later became PrimeCare International, Inc., a physician practice management company with operations in several states including California, New York, Florida and Oklahoma.

In 1994, Dr. Reddy built from the ground up an 83-bed acute care hospital, Desert Valley Hospital, in Victorville, California. Desert Valley Hospital received coveted accreditation with “commendation” in its first year of operation for the high quality of its services and continues to lead all hospitals in the area with the highest survey scores.

PrimeCare International, Inc. grew to be responsible for over 250,000 managed care patients. In 1988, PrimeCare was sold to PhyCor, a Tennessee-based publicly traded company. Unfortunately, the success of PrimeCare could not be sustained under its new management.

Dr. Reddy founded Prime Healthcare Services (“PHS”), Inc. In 2001, PHS purchased the failing operations of Desert Valley Hospital and Desert Valley Medical Group from Phycor and was able to turn them into successful entities that were once again able to serve the community and provide the highest quality of care.
