Sally Joseph, NP

I would highly suggest saving your time and finding a different doctor. My experience with this provider was incredibly invalidating. She seemed annoyed that I was there, didn’t seem to care about the issues I was experiencing, and invalidated my experiences by saying they were nothing. The entire visit I felt like a burden by being there. The rest of the staff were very kind and friendly so this was very disappointing.

Appointment was for perimenopausal care and I left the office feeling extremely frustrated, unheard and quite defeated. She was extremely dismissive of my questions and concerns. She expressed zero empathy, had no need for any of my questions, and the majority of the appointment was dedicated to navigating her angry demeanor. Sadly, I can only describe this experience as highly disappointing.

I did not have a pleasant experience with this provider. She was very dismissive of my concerns and did not allow me the time or attention to discuss the concerns/changes with my health. She almost seemed disgusted by me the moment she entered the room. Now I will spend money getting a second opinion, because I clearly did not get a first.

Did not demonstrate ability to provide pt-centered care (listening, validating concerns in context of med hx & limitations, unable to adequately address sig pt-related factors that would have altered POC). Came in late, breezed over concerns, & provided straw man arguments: "yep, pregnancy isn't always fun," in reply to concern of sig more pain & sig loss of function recently compared to prior pregnancies. Irregular pregnancy hx as labor was not associated w/ typical S/Sx, tho she proceeded to explain typical S/Sx & neglected discussion regarding prev experience & possible yellow/red flags. Visit was representative of current social dilemmas in health care such as pt distrust & neg experiences reported by pts. She spent 10' after 30' wait w/ majority time talking at pt, making sweeping comments, neglect of social barriers to accessing care, & leaving pt in sig more psychological distress following visit w/ no solution physical, environmental, or social barriers. Cannot recommend.
