Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

1st office visit
I just came from meeting Dr Prats for the 1st time. After just moving her and a trip to the emergency room and an ultrasound showing 5 stones. Both kidneys. 1st thing he says is my stones aren’t causing my pain because they are non-obstructing . Ive had approximately 50 stones which have all caused pain obstructing and non-obstructing . He is a condescending, arrogant person. Walked out of the office. Would not recommend him to anyone with stones unless you want a Dr to tell you if you are in pain or not.

Very punctual and professional
Called up within five minutes of scheduled appointment. Assistant came in take vitals. Doctors assistant came in to talk about reason for visit and see if I had any questions or concerns! Less than five minutes “after came in to discuss reason of visit. He talked about options and scheduled procedure time. From beginning to end less than 20 minutes time! Great!
