Patient Reviews
May 31, 2024
From the initial appointment to surgery to follow up appointments: Doc Prather was professional and engaging. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking cardio-thoracic surgery. My incisions all healed up very nicely and I showed no signs of infection. My wife and I were both pleasantly surprised at the outcome. God bless Dr. Prather!
