About Me

Dr. Raquel Prati joined City of Hope® Phoenix, in July of 2017. Dr. Prati is a Breast Surgeon, who performs oncoplastic surgery, including lumpectomies and mastectomies. When possible, she uses skin-sparing and nipple-sparing techniques, which allow for immediate reconstruction, as she teams up with the plastic surgeon.

"At City of Hope, I focus on treating breast cancer with the latest technology available and using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible,” says Dr. Prati. “But most importantly, I focus on making women more confident with information about their treatment options and educate them about their cancer.” 

Originally from Brazil, Dr. Prati attended Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil and earned a medical degree. She then completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre in Brazil and completed a breast surgery residency at the same hospital. 

Dr. Prati came to the United States in 2004, completing a clinical fellowship in research and breast surgery at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She was hired as a dedicated breast surgeon and Director of the Breast Cancer High Risk Program and the Breast Cancer Tumor Board at the Revlon/UCLA Breast Center. Dr. Prati is board certified in breast surgery.

Dr. Prati has also held several academic appointments, including Associate Clinical Professor at the Revlon/UCLA Breast Center in the department of surgery and division of surgical oncology. Dr. Prati is a member of the Society of Surgical Oncology, American Society of Clinical Oncology and American Society of Breast Surgeons

Outside of City of Hope, Dr. Prati enjoys spending time with her husband and two young sons. The family likes to go camping and often travels to Dr. Prati's home country of Brazil.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
