The founder of our practice, Dr. Joe Dew, was a fixture in our community since he began practicing in Monroe in 1974. He was an active member of several civic groups and the First Baptist Church of Monroe. He developed a loyal following of patients due to his compassion and "patient first" philosophy. While we have big shoes to fill, we were honored when Dr. Dew specifically chose us to be his successor!
