I can not recommend Dr. Prather enough!
After breaking my heel last year, I was in a lot of pain and unsure what to expect. From my very first appointment, Dr. Prather was incredibly compassionate and took the time to explain my injury in detail.
His expertise was evident as he guided me through the treatment process, ensuring I understood each step. He was also available to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable during a challenging time.
Thanks to his care and support, I’m making amazing progress in my recovery and hope to resume normal activity in the near future.
If you’re looking for the best, look no further than Dr. Prather.

I had an excellent meeting with Dr Prather. He listened to my history with this injury, examined my foot, reviewed with me the X-rays that were taken and suggested a plan that was perfectly acceptable to me. Would strongly recommend this office and Dr Prather

Very professional and knowledgeable as well as patient. He does not rush in and rush out, he listens and he explains. He answers all of my questions and he is thorough with the exams. Dr. Prather has a pleasant personality.

Enjoy the experience

Dr Prather is always very attentive. He has replaced both of my worn out ankles and fixed my rheumatoid arthritis toes. I don't know if I'd even be able to walk if it wasn't for him. I am very grateful for Dr Prather and his staff and they always treat me well and with respect. I highly recommend Dr Prather and Chatham Orthopedic in general. We are very fortunate to have them in our area.

The ankle replacement was a much better experience than I ever imagined. It would be hardly any pain.
