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.

Been going to see Dr Prater for years! He is super friendly, remembers me and my stories each time, and is very helpful and knowledgeable

Early 2016, Dr. Prater prescribed a new contact lens that improved the deficiency in one eye, but he did nothing to improve the deficiency in the other eye. A year later, when the deficiency in the other eye was mentioned, the problem again went untreated. Within a matter of months, another optometrist was selected and a new pair of contacts prescribed; and now vision is 20/20.

I've been a patient of Dr. Prater's for over ten years. He is always thorough, professional, kind and on time! As a person who is very myopic I appreciate his willingness to help me explore options in contact lenses that have had a large impact on my comfort. I would highly recommend him for any one needing an optometrist.
