Anthony Joseph MD

Dr Joseph has been my PC for several years, and in all the years of illness, and many unethical Dr's, he is the best by far. For ten years I had an incurable, serious disorder that left me desperate for help. ALL of the neurologists and PC's I saw promised help but only took the money and gave no help at all. Dr Joseph is ethical, understanding, and has not been infected with the huge ego so many others have. He will listen to your problem, and help without wasting your time and money if he can. Don't waste his. His office runs like a Swiss clock, no long waits, his courteous and helpful staff are the best I've been to..I'm 64, and have been to many, many around the country. Simply put, if you need a primary care Dr in this region of Florida, Dr Antony P. Joseph is the best you will find.

UPDATE: I have seen Dr Joseph for six years, and have given him great reviews in the past. I have been on Permanent Disability for eight years, from incurable injuries, 3 breaks in my leg, knee damage, arthritis in knees and spine, herniated disc, frozen shoulder, both sides, and acute gastritis and hepatitis with cirrhosis, and can't take NSAIDs. When my tolerance to hydrocodone/acetaminophen reached the point of constant pain with no relief, I asked to be given what I was on in Arizona, extended release morphine, according to hepatologist, the safest and most effective medication for people with liver disease, he flatly refused and said he does NOT prescribe morphine EVER. Instead he suggested ultram, a medication that has strict warning against use with liver disorders, had I not known this and taken the pills, it would have finished off my liver, and caused my death. After explaining that to him, he gave me the Fyntanal patch, a totally infective dose that the NIH showed pictures of needing 20 at once to be as effective as morphine, a polite way of saying it is useless for severe, chronic pain. His lack of knowledge of pharmacology is dangerous. Bottom line, if you only have minor problems, he is adequate, the staff excellent. But if you have any chronic serious conditions, he will not be of any help, or worse, can do you irreparable harm. When I tried to explain the problems with his ineffective methods, and provided documentation from the leading government agencies, he treated me like a skid row bum instead of a patient of 6 years. Like many of the Doctors in Florida, he should read what the Mayo Clinic told them years ago. A doctors job is largely to control pain, if they are not willing to prescribe the medications that do that, they should find another profession.
