Born and raised in Georgia, Dr. Joanne So is dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals and families across all stages of life. She graduated summa cum laude with honors from the University of Georgia in Athens and went on to earn her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Georgia Campus – Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (GA-PCOM) in Suwanee, Georgia. She completed her residency in Family Medicine at Northside Gwinnett Family Medicine Residency in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
Passionate about preventive care, Dr. So enjoys building long-term relationships with her patients and guiding them toward healthier, more balanced lives.
One of her most memorable experiences involved a patient newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who chose lifestyle changes over medication. Through consistent effort and counseling, the patient reversed their diabetes and regained energy and confidence—an outcome that reinforced Dr. So’s belief in the power of education and patient empowerment.
Outside of work, Dr. So enjoys spending time with her poodle—her loyal companion since medical school—as well as baking, reading, and enjoying picnics with friends and family. She feels fortunate to have many of her loved ones close by.
Dr. So is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and is committed to fostering wellness through compassionate and collaborative care.
