**Dr. Rowe is not accepting new patients.
Dr. Joy Rowe always wanted to be a doctor. "My first toy was a little yellow doctor’s bag filled with various medical instruments," she says. "I carried that thing everywhere."
For the last 30 years as a board-certified internist and concierge doctor in Richmond, VA, Dr. Rowe has worked to maximize her patient’s health and determine what the best path forward is for them to reach their goals.
"With my patients, I like to develop a connection we can use together to problem solve and figure out how to improve their lives," she says.
Dr. Rowe provides personalized, preventive care to adults and encourages a collaborative, compassionate environment. While medication is sometimes unavoidable, she focuses a lot of her attention on how to improve her patients’ lifestyles through diet, exercise, and sleep.
"I love having plenty of time to get to know my patients," she says. "Once we establish that connection and I understand the context of their lives, then I can dive in and spend time analyzing and educating and explaining what we can do to address the issue at hand."
After growing up in the Shenandoah Valley, Dr. Rowe moved to Richmond for medical school and hasn’t left.
She and her husband enjoy spending time with their two adult children, reading, cooking, and spending time near the water, whether that’s the Gulf Coast of Florida, OBX, or the Piankatank River, where Dr. Rowe enjoys gardening and kayaking.
She is also a casual bird watcher; her favorite birds include blue buntings and pileated woodpeckers.
