Joanne S. Byers, MD

Dr. Joanne Byers knew she was going to be a physician when she was in high school. There was no one particular incident involved, it was her own personal goal. Her choice of Family Practice was due to the variety of people and illnesses that are in your practice. Your days are certainly not boring or monotonous, you don’t become complacent and you don’t take your knowledge for granted because you never know what’s going to walk through your doors next! Her particular interests include preventive medicine, womens’ health, general wellness and dermatology with some minor office surgery. She is currently not involved in any research projects. Dr. Byers’ interests outside of medicine are her family, she enjoys outdoor activities, wine tasting and greatly enjoys traveling with family and friends. Her other activities, when time allows, include spending time with her husband, daughters and other family members, reading mysteries and enjoying the great outdoors!
