Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Joe has been my primary doctor for the past nearly 15 years. I have great confidence in his diagnosing my many medical needs. He is very through with my annual wellness exam. I highly recommend his practice.

Not so much a complaint about Dr Joe, but the office staff support is poor and HCA Houston is clueless about COVID vaccinations for Over 75+ seniors. May switch to Methodist providers.

Dr. Joe is great. He diagnosed my Parkinson's disease 5 years before two neurologists he sent me to could confirm his initial diagnosis. It took them 5 years !

Changed my review due to the lack of care of the front office and seeing everyone has the same issue. First off, I'm showing the dr all of these bad reviews that pretty much all have the same complaint. The back office. Completely rude and they couldn't care more. You would think that with so many patients complaining about this place that it would be a game changer. Proof is right here. You clearly see that there are ZERO cares given. My doctor is great, it's the people behind the phones that

Very nice man. Spends plenty of time with patients. Only problems are has to see you about anything and everything. He can't do anything over the phone. Even a refill at times requires an appointment. Seems to have to many patients. Extreme wait times to get an appointment. He had two nurses who assisted him but cut back to one and she seems overwhelmed. Last time I called about a refill it took 2 days for her to get back with me. When you see him your only allowed to discuss 2 medical problems

I have been a patient of Dr. Joe Pouzar Jr. since September 2011. That ended today. His practice has moved from having a driving force of patient care to an assembly line body shop. It is now all about how many paying bodies he can move through the office in a day. No matter his clinical qualifications if he is "booked up and too busy" to see an acutely ill patient he does no good.
