Met Josh about 20 years ago at St. Vincent’s when I was diagnosed with viral meningitis. He cared for me with excellence and when I fully recovered, he became my primary care physician. I highly recommend Dr. Josh !

To start he cared more about my weight than my actual migraine problem and said some pretty horrible things. Second, he would not give me a refill on my prescription until my appt. booked which was weeks away. Therefore during that time I suffered severe migraines until the appt. Lastly, once I did see him, he only gave me ONE refill. This guy and his air headed secretary wife are in it to get their money, they could care less about their clients. If you are considering seeing him, do yourself a favor and find a doctor who actually cares about what they do for a living and has respect for their patients!

I've been seeing Dr. T for many years now and he is excellent: very knowledgeable/expert, caring and compassionate. His team is efficient and courteous. Highly recommended.

Dr. Josh is a knowledgeable caring physician who takes time with his patients. The wait time is short and he takes as much time as necessary to find out what is wrong with his patients and has a real determination to help find a cure. His office staff is also very caring and polite. I would recommend him to anyone.

he gave me a partially correct diagnosis, and failed to address other issues, overlooked the main issue I came to his office with and was a completely rude, unprofessional individual whom remarked very casually to me in slang terms. His methods were outtdated and I complained about my visit after leaving, the last thing I need when scared, numb and confused about what transpiring in my body is to not feel safe with my physician. I suggest he loses some weight and gets a good physcial therapist as his hunched over walk was unappealing.
