I started going to her for my high blood pressure, and she eventually diagnosed me with diabetes. She helped me to understand how my increased weight contributed to the blood pressure and diabetes. She also addressed my stress level, which also played a huge role in my health. At every visit, she taught me about healthy food and ways to get little bits of exercise into my days. She also encouraged me to go to counseling to tackle the stress. With Dr. Joseph’s guidance, I have made significant improvements in my diabetes, blood pressure, weight, and stress. Thank you, Dr. Joseph!

who just kept giving me more and more prescriptions for every health complaint that I had. She took the time to connect the dots and explain how “everything is connected to everything”! It turned out that some of my symptoms were side effects of the medications I was taking. She outlined all of the meds and eventually got me down to just two prescriptions(and I started with 5). With her help I not only felt better, I also felt more empowered to actually learn about my health.

it was the first time I felt like a doctor didn’t rush me through a visit and give me a bunch of medications. She asked so many questions about my anxiety, depression, insomnia, and lots of other questions that I didn’t think we needed to discuss. At first I just wanted to talk about my mental health and not all of the other “fluffy” details like food and exercise. Dr. Joseph explained that we had to put the puzzle pieces together and these were just as important as going over my medications. She taught me how a lot of my symptoms were reflections of what I was eating, how I was sleeping, and even my thoughts! Having a doctor talk about this with me and not just give me more prescriptions and send me on my way made me feel better. I am making the changes we talked about and I can’t believe what a difference it has made!
