Past experiences with Dr Joseph have been incredible. He has always answered my questions thoroughly. This time, however, he seemed hurried. Questions definitely were not answered to my satisfaction. Instead of explanations I received , "I'm not worried about that" and "That's nothing ". Easy for him to say, he's not the recovering cancer patient. If something has changed from a solid mass to a 2 cm fluid filled sac tell me WHY. If there is a cyst tell me WHAT TYPE and HOW BIG it is. How does that compare to last year's scan ? Is It growing ? Is It growing quickly or slowly ?

Subsequently he met with Dr Joseph and Dr Joseph performed surgery to remove his prostate. I researched Dr Joseph's surgical skills and his team's successes before making my appointment with him. I was confident Dr Joseph would address my medical issues and I am very satisfied with everything he has done for me. My friend has relayed the same confidence in Dr Joseph as well.
