Joan is a family nurse practitioner at Oldendorf Medical Services, but I have been seeing her as my primary care physician for the past 2 years. Thankfully I don’t have many health problems, but Joan is very understanding and straightforward about my concerns. She is not the warm and fuzzy type, but I’ve never liked having a coddling doctor, so that’s fine with me. Although she is not an MD, Joan conducts herself with a high level of professionalism and experience that you would expect from a doctor.
