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 Joy is always a joy to visit. She has been my Ob for 8 years now and I can't recommend her enough. I always feel comfortable at every appointment and visit with her.

Knowledgeable and Experienced
Dr. Joy shared her indepth knowledge in clear, plain language that was easy to understand. Her years of experience was evident as she discussed options, answered my questions and gave recommendations. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, and the office staff was very polite. It was a great visit.

Comforting and informative.
I felt like I was talking with someone I know. I have pretty bad social anxiety so I really appreciate how relaxed and welcoming she is. I feel like all of my questions are fully answered and I’m pleased with my visit today.

Scheduled a well woman visit, and received that service. Main issue is Dr. Joy is not... Her patient approach felt adversal, and leaning on the competitive side. The whole atomsphere changed when she came in, "to a rushed and your taking up my valuable time". In such a personal space and this profession, gruff demeanor is not appropriate. I left questioning if I really needed to be there, thinking I may have offended her(no!), and thinking I should have researched her further. Only looking for questions answered not challenged, and a welcoming attitude, not a best friend. Her support staff and the PA on rotation were thorough and pleasant.

One of the rudest and degrading dr I’ve ever dealt with. Spends no time understanding patient. Twice recommended I stay home instead of going in when I called for advice after baby. Both times I did go in. Once ended up having a D&C and the next time a clot. DONT GO TO HER!!!
