Dr Joseph has been my PC for several years, and in all the years of illness, and many unethical Dr's, he is the best by far. For ten years I had an incurable, serious disorder that left me desperate for help. ALL of the neurologists and PC's I saw promised help but only took the money and gave no help at all. Dr Joseph is ethical, understanding, and has not been infected with the huge ego so many others have. He will listen to your problem, and help without wasting your time and money if he can. Don't waste his. His office runs like a Swiss clock, no long waits, his courteous and helpful staff are the best I've been to..I'm 64, and have been to many, many around the country. Simply put, if you need a primary care Dr in this region of Florida, Dr Antony P. Joseph is the best you will find.

I am a patient of Dr. Joseph for many years, he is very compassionate , and i am happy about his service.

I have seen Dr Joseph for six years, and have given him great reviews in the past. I have been on Permanent Disability for eight years, from incurable injuries, 3 breaks in my leg, knee damage, arthritis in knees and spine, herniated disc, frozen shoulder, both sides, and acute gastritis and hepatitis with cirrhosis, and can't take NSAIDs. When my tolerance to hydrocodone/acetaminophen reached the point of constant pain with no relief, I asked to be given what I was on in Arizona, extended release morphine, according to hepatologist, the safest and most effective medication for people with liver disease, he flatly refused and said he does NOT prescribe morphine EVER. Instead he suggested ultram, a medication that has strict warning against use with liver disorders, had I not known this and taken the pills, it would have finished off my liver, and caused my death. After explaining that to him, he gave me the Fyntanal patch, a totally infective dose that the NIH showed pictures of needing 20 at once to be as effective as morphine, a polite way of saying it is useless for severe, chronic pain. His lack of knowledge of pharmacology is dangerous. Bottom line, if you only have minor problems, he is adequate, the staff excellent. But if you have any chronic serious conditions, he will not be of any help, or worse, can do you irreparable harm. When I tried to explain the problems with his ineffective methods, and provided documentation from the leading government agencies, he treated me like a skid row bum instead of a patient of 6 years. Like many of the Doctors in Florida, he should read what the Mayo Clinic told them years ago. A doctors job is largely to control pain, if they are not willing to prescribe the medications that do that, they should find another profession.

I have been a patient of Dr. Joseph for quite some time now, and I am very proud to call him my doctor, he's very genuine, and appears to be very versed in his field. He cares about my well being and pays attention to my symptoms, always listens, answers my questions and is very accessible. Staff and office environment seems to be very organized displaying high level of professionalism. In taking all these into consideration I truly believe he can be trusted.

I am a patient of Dr.Joseph since 1996, i am very happy about the service i am getting from his office, he is very professional and caring ,staff is friendly and courteous.

I recently visited Dr Joseph's office for the first time,he is wonderful and very caring ,his staff is very friendly and helpful, i am glad i choose the right place.

Dr Joseph is our family doctor for 15 years, he took care of my elderly parents and we are happy with the service we received from his office and I am glad to recommend his office to anybody.

I am a patient of Dr Joseph for many tears , he is very caring and is always there when i need him most , his office is always accessible and staff is very friendly and helpful.

This is the worst office to call they are TERRIBLE. I called to get a answer about the coverages they accept the receptionist said they accept Medicare also it says it on their ad. I explained to her about the coverage my folks have she simply told me that they don't accept medicare. This is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT, after she told me they do not accept Medicare I asked Why? she was unfriendly rude and her customer service was not good at all. I feel sorry for the patients who deal with this kind of attitude imagine what the doctor is like!

I called this office on 9/2/2010 to see if they accept Medicare for elderly patients and they said they do. The receptionist was the worst person to ever speak to, she did not give any good customer service and was not welcoming at all. I had told her my parents just moved here and their policy changed to a Universal coverage meaning any Doctor who accepts Medicare should accept this. The receptionist called me back and said we do not accept Medicare or this medicare supplement and I asked why she hung up the phone on me (I called back to ask why again and she hung up again this continued I asked for the office manager and another hang up) . This receptionist was very RUDE I'm simply trying to find a primary doctor for my parents and obviously they do not need any new patients. DO NOT BOTHER CALLING THEM, EVEN IF THEY ARE THE ONLY DOCTOR I WOULD NOT GO TO THEIR OFFICE BECAUSE OF THE RUDE OFFICE STAFF!!!
