St. Luke's Family Practice - Forks
I chose a career in family medicine for the special relationships that are made in primary care. As a family medicine provider, I build trust, learn the goals of each patient and grow with them whether they are at birth or toward the end of life. I enjoy caring for patients of all ages. I had a great role model who showed me the importance of these long lasting, meaningful relationships from a young age. Luckily, he is also part of the St. Luke’s family in New Jersey.
I earned my medical degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed my residency at Tower Health Reading Hospital and worked in Reading for a year after graduating. I moved back into the Easton area after being pulled back toward my hometown right over the border in New Jersey. I am excited to start a new chapter at St. Luke’s Forks Family Medicine. I am currently board certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my wife, Emily and with family. I also have several hobbies including woodworking, wood burning, wood carving and cycling.

“Dr. Prentice is great; when I have an appointment with he is on time and not rushed. He is very thorough, listens to my questions and concerns then makes sure that he addresses them in terms that I am able to understand. If he recommends a test or procedure he tells why this is necessary and what he is looking for with the test. Once he has the results he provides the results in everyday terms and explains what the test tells him as a physician. I could not ask for a better provider.”
