John F. Prater

Overview

Philosophy of care | My approach in helping you goes beyond treating any medical issues to also guiding you to a healthy lifestyle through screening and discussion. I value the importance of preventive medicine, with twin goals of promoting well-being and avoiding disease/disability. I also 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 families of multiple generations through the health care system is why I chose this career path – particularly family medicine. I really appreciate the chance to sit down and spend time with my patients, listening to what is important to them and making a difference in their lives. I very much enjoy the continuity of follow up. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending free time with my wife, reading, bicycling, golfing and attending sporting events.

His top areas of expertise are High Cholesterol, Cirrhosis, Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia, and Xanthoma.
