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.

I feel very comfortable with Dr. Jo as my surgeon
Dr. Jo was very helpful and answered all my questions regarding my upcoming hip replacement. He is realistic and thorough and provided me with practical advice for preparation both pre-op and post-op.I really appreciated the time he spent with me, and I know I’m in good hands with Dr. Jo!

Excellent Dr
Dr. Jo is an excellent surgeon, has wonderful bedside manners and is very knowledgeable. During office visits, he gives me his full attention and as much time as needed—doesn’t ever make our appointments feel rushed. I appreciate his sense of humor, too!

Just does not care
I’ve seen Dr. Jo on 2-3 separate occasions and never felt more disregarded by a doctor. I waited one hour before seeing him every time for him to simply tell me to “get an MRI” after sitting down with him for 3 minutes of his time. Yesterday he gave me a doctor’s order for the wrong knee to get an MRI without even checking what could be wrong. Unless there is surgery required Dr. Jo seems to be entirely uninterested.

Horrible experience
Dr. Jo lacks bedside manner and patience required to deal with his patients properly. He makes inappropriate comments and does not listen to the patients needs or concerns. I felt very disregarded, not treated properly, and did not solve my issues. I stopped treatments to avoid having to deal with him or his rude staff.

Waste of time!
The doctor was real dismissive about my personal experiences that I tried to share with him that could shed light upon why I was having a problem. He spewed generalizations that categorized everyone that had a problem like mine with no regard to the fact that each individual may have had unique struggles that could lead to the struggle I was having.He didn’t even look at the x-rays that I taken prior to this visit in order to prepare for the visit at a competent and reputable lab. Instead he ordered X-rays to be taken the same day with all my clothes on. This resulted the X-rays showing my pants zipper obstructing some of the problem area. He didn’t even have me take different positions in order to get a better view of my problem area.All in all I felt as if I was rushed through the appointment as if I was in an assembly line. I believe I actually spoke with him for about 3 minutes with him doing most of the talking. I would definitely not ever recommend this doctor to anyone!

"MRIs aren't even useful, they're all grainy"
I went to Mark Jo because the doctor that I wanted to see wasn't available. The receptionist suggested Mark Jo since he had availabilities. I took the appointment because I wanted to be seen as soon as possible but I quickly learned why he was available. The appointment was rushed and he didn't listen to my concerns. He didn't even inspect or touch my injury; he only looked at the X-Ray on the computer screen. I requested an MRI and a prescription for physical therapy, and he just didn't want to do it. He said MRIs aren't helpful and that I didn't need physical therapy. I insisted on the MRI because I wanted peace of mind. He replied that getting an MRI for peace of mind was "stupid." Can you imagine that? A doctor telling you that peace of mind is stupid? I went to a better doctor and the first thing he did was request an MRI and gave me a prescription for PT. I'm so glad I switched If you want peace of mind, don't go to this doctor because he clearly doesn't value it.
