Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Zero people skills. Poor bedside manner. Barely even made eye contact. Got a referral to a different doctor who actually cares

Wonderful experience
Dr. Joseph was very thorough in explaining my a-fib diagnosis and treatment plan. He took time in answering my questions and easing my mind. He was very personable and knowledgeable. Dr. Joseph is top notch and I trust him with my care.

Good with ablation
I had SVTs my whole adult life. Saw Dr. Joseph and he did ablation on me and i haven't had any issues since. I am able to work out for the first time in years without having to stop and rest because my heart rate is high. His office staff was busy but took the time to listen when I called with questions and was very nice in the office. The hospital stay was good. I recommended him to my cousin that has the same problems I do.

10 out of 10, would recommend.
Exceptional Care and Expertise!I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Joseph. From the moment you walk into their office, you feel genuinely cared for. Dr. Joseph is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled but also takes the time to listen and understand your concerns. They explain everything clearly and work hard to make you feel comfortable with every step of your treatment plan.Thank you Dr. Joseph.

This doctor is conscientious.
He was very caring and he took his time explaining the procedures in detail and gave us printed material regarding the procedures. He also explained the follow up care. His office staff were very caring and took time to explain the expectations during the appointment and follow up.

Changed my medication and refused to return my calls after regarding bad reactions. Ordered an unnecessary test and wouldn't speak to me unless it was done. Allowed me to suffer with side effects for 6 weeks until I gave up and got referred somewhere else.

I have never seen Dr. Joseph, but his staff is not at all caring. I had a problem on Christmas day and contacted the office on Monday, was given no satisfaction tried again on Tuesday received even less satisfaction. Immediately changed to another doctor, I will not be ignored.

I saw this doctor 2x. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I have ZERO confidence in him. Phone calls to office aren’t returned. Doctor can’t or won’t answer questions. No explanation of test results even when specifically questioned responses with a grunt. He made too many big mistakes in my case. Mistake #1 was asking about my ER visit and being referred for open heart surgery which NEVER happened. He recorded at least 4 items of inaccurate information in my patient file. He prescribed medication that wasn’t needed and without following appropriate protocols for the drug. My primary care had a difficult time getting information and made a referral to another doctor. Due to long wait time to see the new doctor I personally made an appointment at a nationally recognized clinic to get answers. I was taken off the medication Joseph prescribed. Be extremely careful with any medications he prescribes- his “take an extra pill or increase”without telling you exact dose is dangerous! Rude receptionist

He put a pacemaker in on Wed prescribed an antibiotic that my mother had a SEVERE reaction too. Gave her a different antibiotic, (Benadryl and steroids which were on the list of drugs that HE listed not to take with her new medication). EVERYTIME he came into the room I specifically asked questions in which he NEVER seemed to have any concern and NEVER answered with nothing more that a grunt or ok. On Sat when he was dismissing my mother I had to make him look at her and sent her home anyway!!!

Dr Joseph appears to be technically good but his patient care is very poor. You feel like he is lecturing you and not listening. Poor patient bedside manners. I no longer use him because of his care
