Dr. John Prater, MD

Family Physician
6900 Hamilton Blvd, PO Box 127, Trexlertown, PA
My approach to helping you goes beyond treating medical issues; I also guide you toward a healthy lifestyle through screening and open discussion. I value preventive medicine, with the twin goals of promoting well-being and avoiding disease or disability. I believe it is critically important to advocate for you and help you navigate the medical system. My father is a family physician, and growing up watching him guide families of multiple generations through healthcare inspired me to pursue this career path-particularly family medicine. I appreciate the chance to sit down and spend time with my patients, listening to what matters most to them and making a difference in their lives. I truly enjoy the continuity of follow-up care. I earned my Bachelor's degree from King's College, completed my Doctor of Medicine at Temple University, and finished my Family Medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, St. Margaret. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, reading, bicycling, golfing, and attending sporting events.
