My son laughs because I call her Joan, when we speak of her. He of coarse through his 20 years as a patient of hers, calls her Dr. Thomas. I call her Joan because that is how down to earth she is. I would love it if I could have had her for my family primary doc. Her manner is caring, direct, informative and timely. Her office staff is and has always been kind, patient and helpful.
