Dr. Joseph Prows, MD

My husband has been seen by Dr. Joe for about 5 years. He has found him to be knowledgeable and friendly and very competent. As a retired nurse and have gone to several appointments with him. We are absolutely DISGUSTED with the Village Physicians taking the practice over. There is no way to communicate with the Doctors aside from the Village Physicians' portal. It is difficult to maneuver and does not allow for more than one person at the same email address to have different passwords!

While researching to find a new provider I came across this guy, Joseph Prows, who I saw a couple of months ago. All the negative reviews match my own experience and I wish I had paid attention to this site and not wasted my time. Did he display his huge ego during our appointment? Yes. He was all about trying to show how smart he was. Did he avoid reading my medical history before out appointment? Yep. Had no clue. If he would've just read the most recent notes from his colleague (who retired) it would have saved me at least 30 minutes of repeating myself and answering his clueless questions. Did he misdiagnose me because he didn't understand my medical history or didn't bother to learn? Yep! He's unbelievably clueless. I would strongly urge you to avoid seeing Joseph. He'll waste your time and your money, and insult your intelligence, to boot.

Absolutely ignorant. Lied in my chart which had to be removed, such remarks led to surgery.

Although I've had decent experiences with Dr. Prows in the past, my last annual wellness visit this month was a disaster. We were extremely rushed, and I did not get my questions answered. He lied to me and told me that his staff had only scheduled the appointment for 15 minutes, although the office manager checked, and assured me I was scheduled for 45 minutes. (This is an ethics violation I will be reporting to the state medical board). He spent less than 30 minutes with me, took me off of one of my medications without having time to discuss the ramifications of that (I had to go back on it 4 days later), and refused my request to see me for the other 15 minutes of my appointment at no charge to me. He documented some of the things that I told him incorrectly. I am looking for a new doctor.

Dr. Prows has been my primary care physician for several years now. He is competent, conscientious, friendly, and helpful, among the best physicians I have ever visited. He called me at 11PM one night because he had just found a test result of mine that alarmed him. On his own time, long after most people quit for the day. Amazing. The support staff is also excellent.

On 4/17/2020 my primary care physician was unavailable so I had a virtual chat with Dr. Prows. This was my first contact with him, and I found him to be friendly, thoughtful and thorough.

New patient. Third appointment on new medication he prescribed and still not right! Beginning of the appointment he stated that my appointment was not scheduled for enough time to discuss the medication and its effects which was my responsibility. He was just a human and with complex problems like mine... He chose not to be my doctor. I agreed.

He's the dude.

Saw this so called Doctor on 10-4-17 at Associates In Family Medicine. The first thing he said to me was, "I don't want to waste your time and I don't want you to waste my time." Half way through the visit but not quite I asked him why he said that and his reply was, "I've decided not to be your doctor."

I've been seeing Dr. Prows since he began at Associates of Family Medicine. Not only is he an excellent doctor with extreme knowledge of medicine. He's a very compassionate individual and has helped me with not only my physical health but also mental health. Always reassuring me and putting my mind at ease that I'm getting the best medical care possible. Thank you Dr. Prows.

Dr. Prows did not know the reason for my appointment; I was grieving the death of my sister, who fought cancer for 7 years. It seemed odd he did not know this, even though I stated it over the phone when I made the appointment. He told a person with moderate depression "you may leave now" and did not schedule a followup for the medication he prescribed. Associates in Family Medicine, although now managing my condition well under a different physician, never gave me a verbal appology.
