I recently moved here from out of state, and establishing new medical care when you have more complex needs can be a challenge. Dr. Joshua Clark-Fuqua really went out of his way to provide individualized care, and I never felt like just another appointment on the schedule. He took extra time to address all of my concerns, and he offered referrals with both personal and professional insight so I had options that actually made sense for my situation.
He's very personable and easy to talk to, and he never talks down to you. I've learned over the years that the best physicians understand that communication goes both ways, and he really creates an environment where you feel comfortable advocating for yourself and having honest conversations about your health.
As a gay man in the South, finding a doctor who is respectful and understanding of my experiences isn't always easy, but I felt completely comfortable and never felt judged or self-conscious. That makes a huge difference when you're trusting someone with your health and need to be able to communicate openly.
I highly recommend Josh. And honestly, I look forward to the day I'm no longer his patient - because I'd gladly buy him a drink just to chat. He seems like a genuinely good human being, and that's not something you can say about every doctor. read more
