Dr Joseph has been my doctor for 35 years. Early on, he diagnosed my hypothyroidism. While more people have this than diabetes, it is underdiagnosed and presents with a wide variety of symptoms that can be mistaken for other things.
About a decade into our relationship, Dr. Joseph diagnosed my uticaria, or chronic hives. "You know, Ms. Weber, that 50% of these cases are caused by stress." Intent on a physical cause, I clearly remember saying to him...
"I am not stressed!"
When they laid me off from work, which apparently they had been planning, and apparently of which I was subconsciously aware, the hives cleared up in two weeks. Then I had a serving of humble pie, and a case of aren't-I-glad-Dr.-Joseph-is-my-doctor.
The main concern for you at this point is Dr. Joseph is reaching retirement age. You don't want to be like me and wonder how much I am going to dislike the young whippersnapper who follows.
I am not stressed!
In reading the other reviews, I agree that there has been a problem with his office staff. There was one head nurse who was specifically a problem. Despite my complaint, he retained her until her poor health led to her retirement. Mary, who has tried to retire from his practice, is excellent. Other staff members are still gaining experience. read more
