Dr. Joseph was very professional and thorough, and took time to listen and understand my concerns, and to recommend a course of tests and process to determine what might be at the root of my problem. I am certain he is taking every precaution to find out what has caused the issue, and will be able to direct me to correct treatment should we find anything out of order.

Past experiences with Dr Joseph have been incredible. He has always answered my questions thoroughly. This time, however, he seemed hurried. Questions definitely were not answered to my satisfaction. Instead of explanations I received , "I'm not worried about that" and "That's nothing ". Easy for him to say, he's not the recovering cancer patient. If something has changed from a solid mass to a 2 cm fluid filled sac tell me WHY. If there is a cyst tell me WHAT TYPE and HOW BIG it is. How does that compare to last year's scan ? Is It growing ? Is It growing quickly or slowly ?

My only bad experience was that neither of the nurse nor the doctor looked up all the information I had filled out online regarding my medical history. I spent probably 45 minutes filling this out, and it was annoying to have to repeat the information verbally.

I already have recommended Dr. Joseph to my friend and neighbor, who also was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Subsequently he met with Dr Joseph and Dr Joseph performed surgery to remove his prostate. I researched Dr Joseph's surgical skills and his team's successes before making my appointment with him. I was confident Dr Joseph would address my medical issues and I am very satisfied with everything he has done for me. My friend has relayed the same confidence in Dr Joseph as well.
