“My experience with Dr. Joseph was incredible. From the consultation to a secondary viewing of my MRI it was clear that my healing was his priority. He took the time to make me comfortable with every step of the process and once the day of surgery came I felt very prepared. The surgery itself was quick and seamless, I could not have asked for a better first surgery experience.
