Patient Reviews
Oct 11, 2019
I have been a patient of Dr. Praters since 1987. He is the most caring, well respected physician in this area. My family and I have been most fortunate to be under his care all these years. I dread when the time comes that he will retire as there will never be another one of his caliber. Geisinger should take note and attempt to have other physicians and PA’s emulate his demeanor and character. The outcome would be beneficial to all.
