About me

Dr. Joanne Guo is a neurologist who specializes in multiple sclerosis (MS) and similar disorders, providing comprehensive, individualized care for patients at all stages. Because MS is often a life-altering diagnosis, she has dedicated her career to improving outcomes and quality of life for people living with this condition.

Guo graduated summa cum laude from the Ohio State University with a degree in biochemistry and psychology. She earned her medical degree at the Ohio State University College of Medicine, where she became a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and Gold Humanism Honor Society. She completed a residency in neurology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and a fellowship in neuroimmunology at UCSF, joining the faculty in 2019.

      Dr Guo is simply the best. I am a bit difficult to treat because of my mobility issues, but she is completely understanding and calls in for extra help without issue. She allows plenty of time for discussion and review, without any feeling of being rushed.

      I appreciate the thoughtful care I receive from Dr. Guo. After a bit of a hiatus from live visits, due to Covid restrictions, it Is nice to be examined in person, thoroughly, along with face to face discussions regarding my physical and mental status. Both my husband and I look forward to our annual in-person visit. Dr. Guo gets 20 out of 10 from us!
