Patient Reviews

We have been seeing Dr. Prater for several years.His office and staff are superb!Each person is professional, pleasant, and top notch. It was refreshing to see staff without blue hair, nose rings, and tacky looking tattoos....and yes, I have observed that in our hospitals and clinics. While navigating through the system, you are escorted to where you need to go next, called by name and made to feel as if you matter. Having recently been in the surgery suite, I can assure you that each nurse, tech, and CRNA that I met treated me as if I was family. The front desk workers, the surgery scheduler, and the pre-op staff are excellent, as well. Dr. Prater's knowledge, talent, and expertise can't be beat!
