Dr. John F Prater, MD

Family Physician
6900 Hamilton Blvd, Trexlertown, PA
Philosophy of care I value the importance of preventive medicine to help prevent illness, in addition to treating it. I believe it is critically important to advocate for you and help you navigate the medical system. Why I entered medicine My father is a family physician. Growing up watching him help guide entire families of multiple generations through the health care system is why I chose this career path and particularly family medicine. I've come to really appreciate conversations that allow you to sit down, spend the time simply listening to what is important to patients, and hopefully making a difference. In addition, I very much enjoy the continuity of follow-up. Education and training I earned my Bachelor’s degree from King’s College, followed by my Doctor of Medicine from Temple University. I completed my residency in Family Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, St. Margaret. Community involvement During residency, I participated in a community population health project regarding treatment of hepatitis C. This involved protocolizing a treatment process, which resulted in easier access to care for those desiring treatment of hepatitis C. Personal interests I enjoy spending time with my wife, reading, bicycling, golfing, and attending sporting events.
