Joel Glotfelty, M.D.

As a provider, it is my privilege to provide efficient, effective and evidence-based care to all of my patients. My patients can expect a thorough and carefully thought-out plan for their presenting concerns as well as frequent re-evaluations and results discussions throughout their stay in the emergency department. When patients are with me, I want them to know they are heard and their concerns are valued, and I will be with them as part of their team in the emergency department to support them to the best of my abilities.

I enjoy spending my free time relaxing with my wife and two dogs, working out, playing board and video games, and catching up on some of my favorite TV shows. I also spend a large portion of my free time working with the non-profit I founded and operate to plan and execute community events and service opportunities. If there's a chance to give back to my local community, I am there!
