Pediatric & Laser Dentistry, Nick A Prater DDS, PA

Sadly, I think Prater should lose his license. Putting it kindly, he is unqualified to perform tongue and lip ties revisions. We did not know better, and we took our first baby to him. We were desperate for help, and I did not research him like I should have. Prater did not release our son's ties properly. My baby suffered needlessly. Prater was rough and uncaring. His wound aftercare is nonsensical. He is the only health "professional" that recommends healing by reopening a wound. To be clear, stretching and exercise is important. Not reopening a wound. We finally took our baby to a second provider, who properly adjusted his ties. I have no doubt Prater would say we just got "unlucky" and there are many variables. No doubt there are. However, I have had revisions done on three kiddos now

Honestly, I wish I could give negative stars. I never write reviews, but this is how strongly I feel. We brought my son to see Dr. Prater at 3 weeks old to help with breastfeeding latch issues, reflux symptoms, gas pain, etc. due to a tongue tie. The day that Dr. Prater did our son's revision was the day our nightmare began. My son is ten thousand times worse than he was when we brought him there to begin with, and I would do anything to get my old son back. I followed his aftercare instructions PERFECTLY, and yet was still told that his tie reattached due to my negligence with the exercises (Also - since when is it aftercare/healing to rub an open wound??? NEVER) Tongue tie revision is a very complex issue that requires more than just lasering the tie. Dr. Prater does not have the necessa

Today we took our son Christian to see Dr. Prater for a tongue tie revision. Couldn't be happier with the care that our son received! The entire medical staff was very thorough with us in regards to post-op care for our son, and took the time to explain things to us. Thank you so much to Dr. Prater, Cherie, and another female doctor who I missed name (blond short hair who she herself had had a tongue tie revision). You all were amazing!

Dr. Prater and Team are incredible! Our appointment was set up promptly and we were greeted warmly upon arrival. Dr. Prater addressed our son’s tongue tie and lip tie, providing consultation and treatment within the same appointment. We are lucky to know him and those in his practice. We will be returning in the near future for pediatric dental needs!

Loved everyone at the office. Dr. Prater is very thorough and knowledgeable. He took care of my son’s lip, tongue and cheek ties. It has made our breastfeeding journey a lot easier for both of us! We would highly recommend this amazing office!!
