Joan Turek, PA-C, is a dedicated Physician Assistant (PA) with a lifelong interest in science and helping others. Originally from Bismarck, ND, Joan and her husband Paul have been an integral part of the Sidney community since moving here in 1999.
Joan began her career in healthcare in Fairmont, MN, where she worked in Urgent Care and Family Practice after completing the PA program at Des Moines University in Iowa. Following her move to Montana, she took time off to be with her children during their formative years prior to joining the Montana Migrant and Agricultural Workers Clinic in Fairview. Joan has been with Sidney Health Center since 2021, working in the clinic and seeing patients of all ages.
Joan recently joined the pediatrics team at Sidney Health Center, acknowledging a need in the community for more pediatric providers. She finds great joy in working with children and helping them achieve healthy and active lives. She truly believes in the importance of preventive care and emphasizes the significance of early detection in improving patient outcomes and prolonging lives.
Reflecting on her career, one of Joan's most unforgettable memories was her two-week stint working at a clinic in Guinea, West Africa. In fact, she continues to embrace new experiences. Her love for travel sparked early on as she was an exchange student in Norway.
Outside of work, Joan enjoys reading, crafts, and DIY projects as well as exploring the great outdoors, kayaking, and paddleboarding. They have three grown children and continue to be involved with the youth in their church affiliation.

Fabulous doctor. Joan listened to us and we decided on the best path forward
Listened to my concerns, and have suggestions to help my son feel better. Love the support she gives
Joan always takes the time to listen and dive further if needed. Appreciate her dedication!
She's always very kind, understanding, and respectful of our beliefs. Also, she's open to listen to what my son is experiencing even if it isn't what her training told her should be happening.
She is very kind. She absolutely cares about your child. She is very thorough at every appointment. Our son is 17 and she still checks his growth, spine, balance etc. at each appointment. He has ADHD and she keeps up with his grades to make sure we are managing it so he can be successful. He also had been bullied and she asks him how he is feeling, encourages him, and helps us build him up emotionally. She has been a COMPLETE God send!!
She is very nice and caring. She listens and honestly considers your concerns. She is very thorough, and makes sure to follow up with you. 10/10 recommend!
Joan took the time to carefully go over test results. Took her time, listened carefully and answered all of our questions. She has a wonderful bedside manner and I trust her completely.
I like how she took time explaining
Joan is amazing. She is reassuring and so knowledgeable. I love that our son gets to see her
We always love seeing Dr. Turek. She does a great job listening to our concerns!
