About Luther D. Quarles IV

Luther D. Quarles IV, DO, was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, and is board-certified in family medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine. He specializes in acupuncture, osteopathic manipulation medicine, sports medicine, and primary care, with a focus on musculoskeletal and nervous system health-related issues. Prevention is a cornerstone of his practice, with emphasis on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This includes proper nutrition, regular exercise, and stress management to prevent illness and injury before they occur. His philosophy of care is centered on providing comprehensive, integrative, and compassionate care that respects the uniqueness of each patient.

Dr. Quarles pursued a bachelor’s degree at Hampton University in Virginia, majoring in molecular biology, and earned a master’s degree in interdisciplinary health sciences at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During his time at Drexel, he studied the impact of food deserts in urban populations. He received his medical degree in osteopathic medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

After obtaining his medical degree, Dr. Quarles completed residency training in integrated family medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine at Stonybrook University Southampton Hospital in New York. He also received training in sports medicine at VCOM-Auburn and traditional Chinese medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Dr. Quarles’ approach to patient care is rooted in a holistic understanding of the body as an interconnected system. He believes in treating the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — rather than just addressing symptoms. His practice is guided by the principles of osteopathic medicine, which emphasizes the body’s inherent ability to heal itself when properly supported.

In his leisure time, Dr. Quarles enjoys spending time with family, podcasting, reading, and a writing sci-fi book series. Additionally, he volunteers as a team physician for William M. Raines High School football and Edward Waters University athletics. He is a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
