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.

We are fortunate to have Dr. Joseph in our area.
He did my daughter’s knee and shoulder surgery with awesome results. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Great place
Great staff, very supportive and I feel great. I would not go anywhere else. That one lady that left a one star review has serious issues. Blames doctors for her own wrongdoing. I am here to tell you they are the best there and so is Dr. Joseph

Professional Physician Dr Thomas Joseph
Dr Thomas Joseph is an extremely talented physician. His bedside manner is very caring and he listens to his patients and their questions. He operated on both of my shoulders and will now be operating on my right knee. He will do the left knee in a few months. I highly recommend Dr Joseph because of his skill. He is simply the best!

Excellent Surgeon
Our pre-surgery appointments with Dr. Joseph were very informative, definitely not rushed. He explained the details of the robotic partial knee replacement and answered our questions. Our wait times were short. He initially gave my husband options to get through golf season…shots, brace or surgery. We chose to have a brace made, which worked well. After surgery, my post-op consultation with Dr Joseph was not rushed and again answered all my questions. Our time at the Youngstown Orthopedic Surgery Center went very fast In at 7am and home by 12:45pm. My husbands therapist said he is doing amazingly good one week after surgery.This is the second surgery Dr Joseph did on my husband. He repaired a torn meniscus in 2009 and he has not had any issues with that knee since then. We definitely recommend Dr. Tom Joseph to everyone!

Knee Osteoarthritis

I had a nasty fall and ended up under the care of Dr Joseph. Every thing was explained to me…what the mri showed, and what would be done under surgery. I have had amazing results, and would recommend Dr Joseph and his staff with no hesitation.
