Joanna L Younker, DO
She is an amazing physician. So glad she is my primary care provider. I am so comfortable around her. I really can’t say enough good things about her.
Sep 1, 2026
I feel uncomfortable with the feeling I know more about medical information. Whenever I go to her, she usually refers me to a specialist. I am older. I am used to the doctor treating my issues instead of handing them off all of the time. That is my impression, but it may not be as it seems to me.

Dr. Younker is great!
Aug 14, 2026
I was a bit surprised when she pointed out that treating T2D was "kind of" a focus of her practice. It almost sounded like a sales pitch, to have me continue care there IF I had abnormal A1c results. Aside from that one statement, I was very comfortable and pleased with my interaction with Dr. Younker.

I can't think of anyone thing but Ms. Miller was kind, helpful and efficient so we accomplished my goal of continuing to be able to use the services of Hand wheels.

Julie listened and put together a effective treatment plan.
Aug 3, 2026
I had a very positive experience during my visit. Dr. Wheat and the nurse took the time to really listen to my concerns and made me feel heard throughout the appointment. I especially appreciated that they didn't just tell me what to do—they explained the reasoning behind their recommendations, which helped me better understand my care and feel confident in the treatment plan. Their kindness, professionalism, and willingness to answer my questions made a big difference. Thank you for providing such thoughtful and compassionate care.

Went in for a followup blood test but was told I could not get it that day and had to make appt. Was told I was due for a follow up appointment with dr. Miller that I was not advised of or aware of. Also my charges were not sent thru insurance and i am being charged for the services with no explanation as to why they weren't sent thru insurance. We live 50 miles from dr. so we had to make two trips for a blood test.

Dr. Wheat takes time to listen, she looks at rhe bigger picture instead of treating symptoms she tries to get to the root cause. I feel lile she understands me and takes time to talk about things.
