Lenox Internal Medicine

I’m delighted to welcome a new provider at Lenox Internal Medicine. Three years after opening the practice, I have more patients than I can easily manage on my own. I had always intended to share the practice with a colleague, and now, after a long search, I think I’ve found the right person.

Joanne Michonski, Family Nurse Practitioner

Joanne Michonski is a family nurse practitioner with four years of primary care experience in Holyoke; and twenty years before that as a registered nurse in the emergency room of a busy inner city hospital in Hartford. She was awarded her advanced practice nursing degree from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Joanne started here at the beginning of March and she is already building up a panel of patients who want to see her as their primary care provider. She’s highly competent and knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. In addition to seeing regular primary care problems (i.e. physicals, colds, rashes, back pain, etc.) she specializes in patient education in areas like diabetes, hypertension, nutrition and weight loss. She also does a great job on women’s health. Feedback from patients who’ve seen her has been extremely positive.

Having Joanne here means that we can accept new patients without the long wait for a first appointment. If you would like to see her, or find out more about her practice, give us a call. As of now, Joanne can see new patients within a week or two (once you’ve filled out the paperwork the insurance companies require).
