Christa is just the best. So knowledgeable and kind. She really thinks about diagnosing you as a whole person and not just randomized symptoms.

5 out of 5 stars

I rated recommending the care provider as "fair" because I was expecting to see an MD, not a NP. I recognize the need to meet patient demand with mid-level providers and value their clinical expertise. However, for a specialty care initial consultation (after waiting months to be seen) I should've been evaluated by the board certified physician to establish care and treatment plan.

5 out of 5 stars

Christs Prates approaches patient care from a holistic perspective. She goes beyond the primary presenting issue and points out the impact on the entire body. This was especially important in my case as she identified unrelated areas of concern that had been impacted. Her insights and recommendations helped me to better accept my situation.

Personal care that is important to me.

Dr Prates is one of a kind. When I know I'm having an appointment with her I truly love that day. My day just cannot go wrong she is the best. I thought maybe that doctors lost their genuine self in treating patients. I thought those days were over. But then I started going to Crista and she just brought it all back that doctors are still genuine in caring for their patients.
