Testimonials

Considering how extensive this surgery was, he did a great job afterward to make the pain very bearable. I didn't have to take as much pain medication as I thought, which made the healing process faster. After having four children and not being able to work out because of severity of diastases recti and an umbilical hernia, it was so hard mentally and physically. He is amazing at what he does and he has changed my life. I can do more as a mom because I got my body back. It has been a process mentally knowing I look like I did prior to having babies. It has been a blessing from God having Dr. Joe give me the ability to also be healthier.

Dr Joe was my second consultation and he was so thorough. I knew immediately he was the surgeon I wanted and needed. He was great with my health needs and I knew I was safe under his care.

This was my second surgery with PSI and both times I've been delighted. From my very first phone call 7 years ago to today, you've gone above and beyond to help me. I received respect and support for my decision, and you make every effort to work around my difficult schedule. Thank you for the excellent care. I couldn't be happier.
