Doctor Joseph'S medical education is very disturbing. He comes from a third world Country Medical School training. Yes he presents a friendly face however where he trained is low brow and not to American standards. Friends...beware of his smile and be aware of his third world training.

Unbelievable wait time, Doc was confused almost senility. He smelled of Indian spice. He was curt and disgusting.

Got an appointment the day following my opthalmalogist referral. Short wait in the office and Dr Joseph was very kind, told me in great detail, the problem, the solution and the process. the procedure was handled with professional courtesy by the entire staff. Procedure done with precision and expertise and home instruction very clear. Highly Recommend Dr Joseph
