Dr. Matthew Prator is a San Francisco native who has known from a young age that love of animals would lead him to a career in Veterinary Medicine. He received an BA in Zoology from UC Santa Barbara in 1993 and a Degree of Veterinary Medicine from UC Davis in 2001. He has practiced Veterinary Medicine from coast to coast, including time in both Maine and Missouri, but is now proud to call Winters home. He especially has an interest in surgery, dentistry, and wellness care. Dr. Prator enjoys spending time with his wife and children, as well as his family's labrador retriever, cat, and 9 dairy goats. In whatever free time he has he also enjoys hiking, fishing, and cooking (as long as someone else does the dishes afterwards).
