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.

An absolute professional and genuinely warm and accommodating personality. My experience has been multiple colonoscopies over the years and Dr. Josephson and his staff at Charlotte Gastro are simply the best!

Him and his team broke my front tooth. No apology or nothing. He didn't even give me my biopsy results. Inhumane treatment to a patient.

Absolutely professional and thorough.
When you are facing a life threatening illness like I was in 2018, you need a medical professional who is honest and thorough. Dr Josephson is absolutely both. He’s devoted to providing excellent care….. I’ve had a major life changing surgery and with my changes, Dr. Josephson is still my gastro doctor and I will continue trusting him with my care.

Zero stars!
He was rude & unprofessional to me every visit I had. The first visit, he was over an hour late coming into the room & never apologized. Instead he tried to rush the visit. He was flat out rude. He asked multiple questions & cut me off when I started to try to answer him, every time! I eventually took a deep breath & asked, do you plan to let me actually answer you or just keep cutting me off? When trying to explain what had been happening the past several months, he cut me off & diagnosed my problem, before ever doing any tests or even touching me & said he was going to prescribe a medication for me to take daily. When I had questions about the drug, he was rude & condescending & said you just need to listen to me & you need to take it every day. It was a disaster. There is not enough space here to explain it all. He eventually scheduled a colonoscopy & that was another terrible experience with him. He is not trustworthy, he is arrogant and rude. I don't say any of this lightly.

Clueless
When giving my husband's medical history Dr. Josephson found out that the last specialist we saw was affiliated with Atrium, and not Novant, and he asked rudely "well what are you doing here then?!". At the time my husband had been in a coma in the ICU for over 8 days when Dr. Josephson tried to mansplain to me that he was "very sick". At that point 12 other doctors had already seen my husband and this statement was ridiculous.

Moving to North Carolina made me apprehensive about finding new doctors, since I had established twenty year relationships and trust with my Doctors in Boca.Dr.Josephson exceeded all my expectations because he is a caring physician with whom you can be relaxed and unlike most Doctors who stare into a computer trying to figure out who you are, he listens and gives you options. Wish there were more physicians like him.

Dr. Josephson is an outstanding gastroenterologist. When I first saw him, I was a mess. He promised to get to the bottom of my issues, and make me well again. And that’s exactly what he did. I am totally back to normal! Completely recommend!

He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and just all around great! I moved here 6 months ago and needed to find a doctor for my UC. I'm so lucky and grateful to have found him. He has gone to bat for me with my insurance and has provided a treatment that I am hopeful for.
