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.

Love Dr. Joel!
Dr. Joel always makes me feel like I'm her only patient. She takes her time explaining everything, and is never hurrying through my appointment, even if she is running a bit behind. I trust her knowledge, and she makes sure I understand instructions and always answers all my questions. I highly recommend her!

Highly Competent, Compassionate Doctor
I highly recommend Dr. Joel to all of my family and friends. She has served as my primary care doctor for close to 10 years with great competence, understanding and compassion. She takes the time to truly listen to my concerns and determine the best approach to address them. She put me at ease right from the start and I feel safe in her competent care.

Most of all She Cares about you!
Dr. Joel goes that extra mile for you. She does more than what a normal doctor would. She actually listens to you. She offers advice and solutions that fit you. When I got stressed out, she even hugged me. I have and would definitely recommend her. She’s one of the best!

Jewel of a healthcare provider!
The level of professionalism that I am treated with has been unparalleled in my 47 years of existence. She always makes me feel like I am her only concern and patient. Her knowledge, kindness, team and determination make her one of a kind. Truly a doctor everybody deserves. I have been a LOYAL patient for over ten years now and could not see myself under any other PCP. Five stars!

Extremely long wait times. Then I felt as though she was rushing to get through the appointment. She had the nurse explain everything regarding the weight loss program and she only spent maybe 5-10 minutes with me. I felt like it was just a pitch to purchase the products she sells in the office. The diet isn’t anything that you couldn’t do on your own.

Dr Binju is my internal medicine Doctor For 3years now, she is my diabetic Dr too. I left my Endocrinologist and went under Dr Binju’s care. I am receiving better care with her than my endocrinologist. Dr Binju is very knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. I am glad that I changed to her care.

My mother is a patient of Dr. Joel's. I need a letter stating my mother cannot make decisions; she has end-stage Alzheimer's & my father cannot assist either. The person at the desk said they couldn't release any information. Well, ok, but how do I get help then? "We cannot give out any information." The aide got rude. I asked to speak with someone else. She refused and hung up on me. I hope this young woman's mother has another daughter to help her when the time comes - and look out for Karma!

My wife and I were looking for a family doctor and decided to go to IHA for its convenient location. We were referred to Dr Joel. In 57 years I have never met a more compassionate and professional Doctor. Her sincere care for our health was obvious on our first visit. Her knowledge and bedside manner was second to none. She restored my faith in doctors. Thank you IHA for your efforts in obtaining the best physicians in the field. Sincerely The Stokes family
