About Joanna Whiteley, MD
I became a physician because I love being able to combine how much I enjoy caring for others with my interest in biological sciences. I look forward to collaborating with the patient to make joint decisions about their medical care. I participate in the Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group Climate and Planetary Health Committee because I have an interest in addressing the impact of climate change on human health. In my spare time, I enjoy running, yoga, swimming, biking, going to the beach and cooking.

The doctor discussed different treatment options with me. Gave me her recommendation and why she recommended that treatment first. She also clearly explained what I should do if things didn't improve or got worse. I appreciated how helpful she was.
