I saw Dr. Prather with my son who was born in 2022. She is the best OBGYN I've ever had. She is compassionate and understanding. She genuinely listens to your concerns and will always have open, honest conversations in your healthcare. I will absolutely be returning to her with my next pregnancy.I had a C-section and the surgical procedure was so smooth with her- she is top of her field in my opinion!Thank you Dr. Prather and McKenna for being absolutely amazing.
