Best Surgeon Independence Near Me

Dan Swarts: There are so many great things I can say about Independence Surgical Clinic. Dr Smith and his team are wonderful. I went in for a large umbilical hernia repair and it went very smooth. I had almost no pain during recovery. From the initial visit to the last follow up appointment, everything was explained and any concerns were addressed. I hope I never need surgery again, but if I do, Dr. Smith's office will be my first call.

Vicki Pompeo: I have had the experience of being a nurse caring for a few of Dr Joseph’s patients and was impressed with his kind, caring, and professional bedside manner, as well as his interactions with nursing staff. When I developed a complex set of GI issues my gastroenterologist could not manage, I turned to Dr. Joseph for help. I was very nervous and uncomfortable having the experience of being a patient and feeling so vulnerable. Dr. Joseph’s calm, kind, and caring demeanor helped put me at ease as he outlined a plan of how to fix my problem. I trusted him and scheduled surgery. My post surgery course was difficult and complicated by an underlying problem no one could have known about going into it. It was perplexing but Dr Joseph never gave up on me and ultimately diagnosed and fixed that problem as well. During that time, I saw Dr. Joseph and/or other members of his practice at least daily while in the hospital. I never wondered if they cared for my well being; I knew I was cared for. After hospital discharge, during follow up appointments, and until I was ultimately released to return to work, I was treated with dignity, respect, and kindness. I truly feel like Dr. Joseph saved my life. He is a highly skilled surgeon as well as an all around excellent human being.
