About Me:

Dr. Janis Howatt compares practicing Internal Medicine to detective work. She listens to a patient’s story, follows clues, and uses her expertise to come up with a solution and a plan. Dr. Howatt enjoys being an Internist because she learns something every day and values relationships with colleagues and patients. Dr. Howatt has seen the practice of medicine evolve from handwritten prescriptions and slow-moving medical discoveries into today’s digital environment of rapid advances in understanding disease processes and breakthrough discoveries of effective treatments and cures. The constant for her has been her focus on patient centered care while diagnosing and treating a broad range of conditions.
