Patient Success Stories
Geri H.
“Dr Prates is one of a kind. When I know I'm having an appointment with her I truly love that day. My day just cannot go wrong she is the best. I thought maybe that doctors lost their genuine self in treating patients. I thought those days were over. But then I started going to Crista and she just brought it all back that doctors are still genuine in caring for their patients.”
Pat I.
“Crista Prates is brilliant, an excellent listener AND diagnostician. I never had a provider that followed through and sought answers like Crista. She’s the best there is!”
