John Prather, M.D.

Wait time too long- 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Dr Prather takes the time to listen to you and address your issues.

Explains diagnosis very well.

I did not see the Dr. I saw the PA or NP. I was not aware my appointment had been changed where I would not see the doctor. I think this is a bad business practice. I am the patient and I should be given the opportunity to make this decision, not the company. I did notify Medicare of this practitioner change for billing purposes. I had concerns I wanted to talk only to the doctor about.

He’s the best! Very pragmatic so I trust him to give me his best bet. Yep, there is a lot of “bet” in medical practice. Dr Prather has excellent “soft skill.” This man smiles! He looks at you. Docs forget soft skills are equally important.

Dr. Explains everything takes his time do not rush you out.5 star

Dr.

Very kind and respectful.

Dr. Prather is not only a great surgeon but also very personable and quick to respond to questions.

He’s a great guy and a great surgeon. His PA is also very capable, smart, and personable

Very helpful. Answered my questions and set me up with on going PT. All the Drs at COA are Awesome.

He took the time with me to explain everything he planned to do on my ankle as well as answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed. Very nice man!

He really listens and talks so I could understand.

He is always polite and knowledgeable!

I believe Dr. Prather truly listens to his patients and takes the time that is necessary to address their questions and concerns.

OUTSTANDING, PROFESSIONAL, ANSWERS MY QUESTIONS , Knowledgeable, I have had appointments for over five years. NEVER any problems in the entire staff or Dr. Prather

Responded well to my ankle pain.

He is very personable and through.

Enjoyed meeting Dr Prather and having his diagnosis of my foot problem. I left with a written order for PT, but it’s 3 days later and I haven’t heard from PT about when/how/where to get started. After dealing with this problem for several months I’m more than ready to start working on the solution. Also, he wanted to see me back (6-8wks, not clear in my memory) but I wasn’t ask to schedule as I was leaving so I’m not sure what that process will be either. Other than these ‘post-visit’ uncertainties I felt I had a profitable discussion with Dr Prather. I also realized afterward that there was no mention of what was seen or not seen in my X-rays. Do I need to schedule a separate appointment for that? Thank you.

Excellent surgeon. Caring physician. Great office and physical therapy. I would highly recommend Dr. Prather and COA.

Outstanding physician. Very warm,caring, and knowledgeable. Thanks Dr Prather for all you do!

Dr. Prather listens to my questions, and gives full complete answers.

Thorough & provided both treatment options & possible prognosis.

Dr. Prather is very thorough and takes time with you. He sits there and takes his time studying the problem before he gives you an answer. I appreciate that in a dr. He does not just jump up and say we are going to do this before he thinks it thru.

Dr John Prather was very nice, knowledgeable and empathetic! Will definitely recommend him!

Awesome doctor..lots of care and compassion for his patients no matter what is the reason for the visit..

He is one of the kindest most patient doctor. I have run across in a long time I’m happy to be as patient.

Always a five star rating! I have never left Dr Prather office with any question as to my treatment. I’ve been at this foot rebuild since 2019 due to a MVA and was referred by my trauma surgeon I graduated from. I am for the first time since then pain free and all because of the course of treatment provided here.

Visit was great! Really took the time to answer my questions and throughly go over next steps in course of my treatment. Thank you!

World-class care. Thank you so much for putting me back together ❤️

JT has gone above and beyond to listen to my concerns.

Friendly, courteous, conscientious and knowledgeable. Really like the practice!

Kind, caring, committed

Very thorough and so was his PA and CMA and rad tech

Always takes the time to listen authentically. Looks at my situation very thoroughly. Offers honest feedback on pros and cons of treatment options.

After my son sustained an ankle injury during football practice I was devastated Nickole told me to take him to Ortho UC because the injury happened late. I took him and the service we received was amazing. Rashawnda at the front desk was compassionate. Jill in xray was gentle and patient during xray. PA-C Drew exceeded our expectations he told us what was going on and ordered everything that was needed to expedite my sons treatment. James came in with a boot and crutches and explained how to use the boot and he adjusted my sons crutches to fit his height. The following day Miss Randi helped to get my sons CT scan approved and Miss Laura was the sweetest when it came to performing the CT scan. At our next visit we were seen by PA-C Kelsey who explained the scan in full detail and put our worries at ease. PA-C Leslie made my son feel calm and welcomed. Dr Prather discussed all options with us and was very optimistic about the healing process. Thank you all for caring for my son!

Great experience from start to finish with surgery.

I've worked with many patients of Dr. Prather; they all regarded him highly. There is no other doctor in the area, I would have wanted treat my daughter's ankle. He is kind, pragmatic, and explained everything very well to my daughter.

I never got to see Dr. Prather. My appointment was at 2:45 and I was seen by his PA a full hour later. She couldn’t guess when he would be able to see me, so after waiting a bit longer, I left. Can’t say I was happy about it.

Surgery time changed 3x which I had been on NPO from midnight the night before and now surgery is at 11;30. Also I and my ride home has to travel an hour away which is inconvenient to both of us.

A very positive experience!

Fabulous. If what he suggested - he saved me from a tough surgery. I saw Dr. Prather for a 2nd opinion since my Podiatrist decided that surgery was the only option left. Dr. Prather is going the custom orthotic route - which I would think my Podiatrist would have already thought of. Makes me wonder about my Podiatrist. Thanks Dr. Prather.
