I love the honesty and transparency when it comes to discussing available health options. It's great to not feel pressured to medications.
Verified patient
Dr. Prays was very friendly and thorough. He took time to explain possible causes of each of the issues I mentioned and to make referrals as necessary. He also offered to manage previous medication for me that I needed urgently. The office was also very clean, and most of the office staff were nice, especially the MAs. I highly recommend giving this practice a try.
From the front desk staff to the medical assistant to the doctor. They were all very knowledgeable, professional and courteous!
Verified patient
Literally the worst experience I’ve had. As a new patient i was excited to start a relationship with this doctor. I texted to confirm my appointment - then 1 hour before i called the office to confirm again. At all times my appt was confirmed. I traveled 25 min and I showed up 15 min before to ensure my paperwork as a new patient was submitted which it was. I then sat and waited til 3:30. I was the only person in the waiting room for a majority of the time. I finally went up and asked if Dr Carlos was ready to see me - the receptionist said she would check. 5 min later she came out and said it would be another hour! How rude- how unprofessional, and the receptionist had 0 remorse as if she has had experience doing this to other patients before. Would not recommend anyone go to this doctor. They don’t care about your time.
Verified patient

Verified patient
Dr Carlos sat with me for over an hour explaining everything in detail and answering all my questions! He was amazing. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
Dr. Prays listened and provided options for my care. He also took the time to look at my past medical history to better understand my condition.
Very insightful and helpful. He took his time to listen and explain the things I was going through and the recommendations to feel better. I plan to see him again.
Verified patient
Best appointment I’ve ever had, I’ve never felt so seen and heard at a doctors appointment before. Definitely sticking to Dr.Prays from here on out.
Verified patient
Dr. Prays is a gem. A doctor that actually has time to sit and listen and speak with you in 2023 is rare. Everyone from reception to phlebotomy were great.
