There is a lady that works the front office that is very rude.If your blood pressure isn't high it will be by the time you see Dr.Jo. Erveyone else is very nice and seem to be genuinely concerned.If you can make it pass the front desk you're alright ! I love DR.JoOne apple can spoil the whole barrel...

I have seen this doctor for about 4 Years now, Recently I was diagnosed with Low T, and He had blood work for a Good Years WORTH. And yet after myself repeatedly telling him, why dont you see the results for yourself, which he held every visit that I seen him, he would steer away from proper treatment. I for myself seen a professional and he couldn't understand why DR JO, would not treat this properly or refer me to a professional to diagnose the issue. My overall feeling of this doc, Professional I would give him a 1, as for his so called caring attitude a 5 since he puts a good show!
