Dr. Joshi is the most knowledgeable that I have found, and I have been all over the country with my complex pain issues. My family actually moved to this area to be closer to better care. He takes the time to find the root cause of the issue and is HONEST. Integrity is so difficult to find these days. Not only is he an excellent doctor, he is a pretty cool guy too! Highly recommended.

Dr. Yoshi is the finest Dr. and person I have ever dealt with. He is kind and considerate. He cares
very much about his patients, also the people he works with. I have been to quit a few Dr.'s in my
77 years. He took away my pain and made my like worth living again. I have sent him a lot of
people. Even some I didn't know personally. You could not be in better hands.
