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.

Great Dr.
I have been to many Drs beginning back in 2004. 2 back surgeries lots of injections. Pain pills etc. since I been going to Dr. Bozelle and his PA Genny has done more for me in less than a year than all the other years I was seeing Drs. Yes Bozelle is not real friendly but he’ll he don’t have to be. He’s not my friend he’s my Dr. He’s a very busy man. All u negative people need to get over it. I am happy with my results. ??

Dr. Joseph Bozzelle is pretty much invisible. My husband was referred to him by a neurosurgeon for chronic lower back pain. He performed a Radio Frequency Ablation on my husband. We never met with him. When they called my husband to the back to check his vitals and sign him in, he never came back out in the waiting room. Next thing I knew, the nurse was calling my name saying the procedure was over. I immediately knew something was wrong. As it turns out, after many many more visits with other neurosurgeons, Dr. Bozzelle burned the core of the femoral nerve in his left leg, as shown in MRI with contrast. The pain has been unbearable and he could not walk for a very long time, Now, after physical therapy and very high doses of gabapentin, he is able to walk somewhat but will never be back to normal. We left many messages to speak with Dr. Bozzelle only to be told by his office staff that "Dr. Bozzelle does not take phone calls". I don't know how this doctor sleeps at night!

His bedside manners are non existent. He will not change your Medicine. You have to wait a few weeks until your second appt. SoI sat around in back and neck pain for a month.waiting to see another Dr. His attitude is terrible you are better off elsewhere with another Doctor.

Seems to forget what you are being treated for. Likes to give injections. Does not like to prescribe medication. He can't make as much money as he can by doing injections. He cut back on my meds then told me not up for discussion. If you're unable to urinate,they swab you. Once a month. Not every 3 months as stated by law. I was having chest pains before my last injection. I was supposed to be sedated, he went out the door and told the other Dr. I don't know what his problm is, Ivdun100's.my4.
