Dr. George Kanianthra Joseph, MD

Don't trust him..get a second apinion..

Totally disregarded and ignored by staff and doctor, calling for a whole month only to find out they were refusing treatment until an appointment was kept that is almost two months away all while we are doing regular hospital visits completely caused by this offices ineptitude. Where are the lawyers? what a joke.

ER visit resulted in appointment with Dr. Joseph. He prescribed a medication that shouldn’t be taken with my low resting heart rate. Repeatedly asked about this but got the same answer that it was ok. I did not take it because of warnings. Finally after initial appointment (monitor consultation), I met with Dr. Joseph almost a month after ER visit. He asked if I had been taking the medication. I explained why not and he casually says oh yeah your heart rate is to low for that. Luckily I had not after warning from ER nurse. After weeks of waiting for orders to be put in for testing I asked for a referral to another doctor. That took 2 weeks and physically going to the office and asking for it before that happened. Extremely displeased with the lack of care provided. Nothing like aggravation to help a heart issue.

Very good doctor

Explains in terms a patient can understand. Listens!! very professional.

Had an Ablasion and still having issues even after monitor was worn 1 month after procedure. See J. Dixon, his assistant and she doesn't even act like she cares. Going for a second opinion

I should have selected another doctor simply because of the narsisitic approach George Joseph took in our interviews (I refuse to call him a doctor) I was taken in for an abaltion and Joseph cut my jugular vein> I was in an induced acoma for 5 days. Later, his nurse lectured me on how I had moved during the operation and it was all my fault. Joseph would walk into the waiting room and point a finger at me and yell, "You....You are a person who moves"....and then stomp out. I told my Primary doctor what I was going through and he agreed that this was crazy (by the way he was with the same hospital) He called me at home and told me I had been taken into the operation in an anemic estate and that could have caused me to become agitated under anesthiseia .........long story, short version, George's staff made a BIG BOO BOO and blamed it on the patient. I did not sue because I thank God for letting me sue. NOW, I have met others who have endured Joseph's rath. I should have sued. Maybe I would have saved a life.

Incompetent. Non caring. Made mistake installing icd.Had to return for re install when Medtronic told him theLeads were out of place. Beware of this so called doctor.

Dr. Joseph is the most narcisstic man I have ever met. I was taken into surgery in an anemic state and then my jugular vien was cut and I spend 6 days in a coma.When I got out of the hospital and returned to George Joseph's (I won't even call him a doctor)office, he comes in and points his finger at me and YOOOOU are a man who MOVES. Then he stomps out. We asked his nurse what that was all about and she explained that I moved during surgery and caused him to cut my jugular. Thank God I had a primary physician who got my records and explained that my moving during surgery was because I was very anemic and I should have never been taken into surgery in that state. I got away from the idiot after he misdiagnosed another ailment which almost cost me my life. I have met one other person who has a horror story from being Joseph's patient and I have heard of two others. He shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine

BEST DOCTOR IN THE WORLD ! HE SAVED MY LIFE ! ALL OTHER DOCTORS MISSED IT.

Dr. Joiseph did heart sugery on me and I am 100% satisfied

After visiting my G.P. about issues I was having he felt I should see a Cardiologist. We discused several and decided upon Dr. Joseph. Before I even spoke to Dr. Joseph his nurse did an EKG on me. After speaking to Dr. Joseph he order three test for me to take within a week before seeing him again: Tilt Table, Heart Monitor and a sonogram of my heart and neck.When I came back for the results Dr. Joseph's nurse gave me another EKG. Then a P.A. come in who behaved like he was my doctor. I had never met nor heard of this guy. He told me to drink more fluids, increase my salt intake and "he" would prescribe a medication to increase my blood pressure. (which happened to be a drug that in the past I couldn't tolerate)As an after thought the P.A. told me I had a couple of leaking values in my heart, I was not told which ones, and a 50%-60% blockage in my left carotid artery. I was then told to come back in a year for a follow up.I am a cancer survior who had 50 radiation treatments to the left side of my neck. I was sent to Dr. Joseph because I get dizzy when I move my head forward or back and when I lay down and when I get up from laying down. A past sonogram showed the radiation destroyed the left side of my Thyroid. Dr. Joeshp's sonogram showed blockage and damage to my left carotid artery. Yet, Dr. Joseph didn't seem to think that my head and brain getting, at best, half the blood flow it should from the left carotid artery was worth his time to tell me about. However, I'm sure my insurance company was charged for his time even though it was his P.A. who saw me and mentioned the tests results as an after thought.My G.P. is sending me to a specialist to address this blockage issue because a brain not getting enough blood is not a good thing. I will also be seeing a different Cardiologist about the leaking values in my heart.I will not be seeing Dr. Joseph or his P.A. in a year.

Overall, I was not please with my appointment with Dr. George. To begin, I had some difficulty checking in. I was told that I should have had blood work done prior to my appointment and that they wouldn't see me until I went downstairs and had it done. So, I went downstairs and found out that even though I just talked to the people upstairs, they didn't fax down the paperwork, so they couldn't do anything for me. This is after pulling a number and waiting for 20 minutes. So, I go back upstairs and they say that they did indeed send down the paperwork. So, they told me to go back downstairs and tell them this. Fine. I go back downstairs, pull another number, wait another 20 minutes and tell them that they did indeed send down the paperwork. They then tell me that they didn't get it. After glaring at them (which I didn't know what else I could do, they finally phone upstairs (I don't know why they didn't do this in the first place)) they somehow find the paperwork and draw my blood. So, back upstairs I go. I wait another 15 minutes to get into a room. They do an EKG (which is kinda stupid because an EKG won't show anything with my condition). Personally, I think that this is them just wanting to make some extra money, but whatever, I didn't want to make a scene. After another 15 minutes of waiting in the room Dr. George comes in. Mind you I've dealt with my heart condition for the past 20 years, so I've done my fair share of research in regards to my specific disease. Anyway, he basically tells me that I need to go through some very extensive tests to determine exactly what is wrong. Now, this ticks me off because I just went through the exact same tests just a few years ago. If he had read my chart, he would know this. I tell him that I just went through these tests and that all the results showed that I'd be fine for many years to come if I stayed on my medication. (I'm on the very lowest dose possible of a beta blocker) Well, he literally makes me feel like a 2 year old by telling me how horrible of a decision this is and how could I possibly want to be on medication for the rest of my life??? Really? Isn't this my decision? Anyway, after making me cry because now I'm doubting everything that I've read and doubting the other doctors that I've seen, he tells me that I should come back so he can discuss with me what my previous records showed. What? You didn't even look at my medical records BEFORE the appointment... or even DURING this initial appointment? Are you an idiot? No, I'm not going to come back here and let you charge me another $355 for another consultation that should have been dealt with in the initial appointment. Yes, he charged me a level 5 consultation... $355 for a 10-15 minute talk... plus charging me for an unneeded EKG. Anyway, he said I could go. So I left... and I got halfway down the hall before I realized that I didn't get my prescription... the entire reason that I came here in the first place. (p.s. I wouldn't have even changed doctors but my original doctor retired) Anyway, he acted like I had seriously offended him for asking for my prescription. But, he gave it to me... half of it. He told me that I would have to get my insurance company to fax him for a refill in 6 months. Fine. I'm so done. So, to sum up, I think that he's just money hungry. When I got home, I researched and made a few more phone calls and got told by several doctors that the tests that Dr. George said I needed should be unnecessary since I just had them done a few years back and they also agreed that the EKG was just a money pit. So, to say the least, I'm going to a different doctor in a few months.

I have found Dr. Joseph to be analytical,concerned,and very interested in a positivie outcome for the patient
