Dr. Prieto treated our daughter for hydronephrosis of the right kidney. He was patient and compassionate as we waited until she was 2 to decide to move to surgery. His bedside manner was great, allowing us to understand that it was best to wait to take action (it could clear on its own) but not hiding that surgery was a likely outcome. His surgery skills healed our daughter – and she’s doing fantastic. It’s always felt as though he truly cared for our daughter and family. I’d highly recommend him.

Dr. Prieto is an Angel, and he has a very special place in our hearts. I work with doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers. I know how impersonal healthcare can be in 2021, especially with COVID in the world. Dr. Prieto stands head and shoulders above his colleagues. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Dr. P.

Today was officially our last visit at Pediatric Urology of San Antonio. Dr. Prieto has seen Khloe since she was 4 years old. He walked our VUR journey along side us, through many tests, procedures and her surgery. He has always made Khloe and myself feel welcomed and comfortable during every visit. We have been unbelievably blessed to find such a wonderful, kind, caring and skilled physician to treat our beautiful daughter. Thank you, Dr. Prieto and all of your lovely staff.
