About Me
Joanne Butler, NP-C is a certified nurse practitioner who comes by her love of dermatology naturally – she is part of three generations of both physicians and nurses, as well as three generations of artists. This unique blend of medical tradition and creativity shapes her approach to patient care, combining scientific precision with an artistic eye.
With decades of diverse clinical experience in emergency medicine, occupational health, and surgical nursing, Joanne brings a wealth of knowledge to her dermatology practice. She believes that building trusted relationships is at the heart of great care. She values each patient’s unique story, recognizing that family history, sun exposure, and genetics all play an important role in evaluating dermatologic concerns.
Joanne has an informative and compassionate approach, particularly enjoying the treatment of acne, as well as performing glycolic peels, treating milia, and enhancing confidence with aesthetic procedures such as Botox® and Juvederm®.
Outside the clinic, she cheers on the San Diego Padres, takes Zumba classes at the YMCA, paints with acrylics, and enjoys reading.
