This is such an awful practice. I was instructed to arrive at 1:15 for a 1:45 appointment. I arrived at 1:13 and was instructed via text to wait downstairs on the 1st floor( on A hard wooden bench) in the lobby. I sat until 2:45!!!! Unacceptable. During my wait time I reached out to them via text and their answering service(call center crap) at 2:20 to be informed that they didn’t have an estimated time that I would be called up to the office. I had been waiting over an hour. Finally I was called up at 2:45, told to sign in and as I looked around I asked how many were in front of me? Her reply....the people (referring to the sign in sheet) have already been seen (HIPAA VIOLATION) as she proceeded to cross out their names. I asked again, how long until I will be seen? She replied, there are a few in the back ahead of you.. I replied....as well as the 5/6 people waiting here. I asked to be cancelled. She want to reschedule me. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! I wait 6 weeks, 1hr and 45 mins in a… waiting room. I drove 45 mins there and 45 mins back. They don’t care about your time or pain.

Dr. Joseph is the finest surgeon I have had and I speak after several different surgeries from Miami, West Palm Beach and Tampa. He provides a thorough evaluation, explains the procedure in detail and then performs exceptional surgery. I left the hospital the same day after having two fusions with his minimally invasive technique. His office staff particularly Nancy Parra, Medical Assistant and Cindy Elbe, Surgical Coordinator went above and beyond always making me feel as a valued patient. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph and his practice.

I have had hip pain for almost a full year. Dr. Joseph diagnosed the problem and for the first time in a year I have had no to little pain in my hip. Pain can wear you down but Dr. Joseph has helped relive the pain.

I first saw Dr Joseph in May 2019 and my height was 5' 4". There had been years of low back pain with increasing curvature of the spine. Two months later he performed a six hour surgery. From T-4 to L-5. Twenty four hours later, with my husband holding my hands, I stood up and was looking him straight in the eyes. I had gained two inches in height. Immediate PT while in the hospital for 7 days. The hospital staff were phenomenal. Always smiling and there within seconds of pushing the call button. Best decision of my life. Dr Joseph gave me my life back. Thank you to all who took care of me at Mease Hospital. Best care ever.

After 3 other back surgeries I went to Dr Joseph. Loved the fact that he didn't recommend surgery first but tried alternate treatments. When these didn't work, he performed a minimally invasive lumbar fusion. Went home from the hospital the next day . After 3 weeks recovery, I can walk without a limp and do stairs for the first time in 5 years. He also surrounds himself with a great staff both in the office and in the hospital. Many thanks!!!!

Dr. Joseph implanted a spinal cord stimulator for me. Months later, I also had disc spacers and fusion done by him. I'm two weeks post op and though I still have pain from sciatica and surgeries, I can tell that my spine is improved.

Due to a bad fall last summer my mother in-law (89) developed severe spinal stenosis (lower back)...hospital and rehab.. 11 months on pain meds. She had to move in with us! Went to 3 doctors prior to Dr. Joseph, some wanted to do major surgery with a year recovery or others minimal invasive surgery not in a hospital & not covered by medicare. Dr. Joseph was covered & minimally invasive..3 months now she is doing amazing! Much better than we could have hoped! Back to normal! We are so happy! TKS!

Dr. Joseph is the best surgeon around. He gave me my life back, and I am forever grateful.

He wouldn't admit what was wrong even after the post op MRI clearly showed what was wrong. Regret ever going to this quack!!

Amazing doctor. Amazing. Fixed 2 completely herniated discs. back to work in 8 weeks. Only hard part was actually being still for 8 weeks.
