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.

He examined the list of BP results I had compiled for the past six weeks, and made an adjustment in my BP medications as a result.

“All visits with Dr Prentice have been very productive and extremely pleasant. Dr Prentice displays a commitment to his patients which is not often seen in the medical industry today. I originally started seeing Dr Prentice for a severe medical issue that needed the upmost amount of attention. Through his interaction and direct involvement an action plan was established with immediate action taken to treat my condition. Even though this has had to change direction recently over the last few months , it was only though Dr Prentice's ability to actively listen to my needs and concerns and develope an effective strategy that is allowing me to lead down the bath to greater health. This you cannot put a price tag on or just asign a number too. Dr Prentice's follow up has been nothing short of impeccable. He has even taken time to personally reach out via IM to follow up on my condition and how I was handling a medication change the day after it was instituted. I have been very impressed in not only his knowledge, but also his effectiveness in establishing a care plan that seems to be effective.”
