A Straight Shooting Doc with Extensive Expertise and a Good Heart
The way I found Dr. Joseph was in my search for a permanent method to fix scars, dents & asymmetries on my face due to a catastrophic auto accident from twelve years ago, and subsequent work to repair the damage. Fillers lacked the precision, and unless you're making incredible money they're not a feasible long-term solution. Silicone offered permanence but who hasn't heard nightmare stories about that? When I read about Dr. Joseph's technique of using Silikon-1000 (medical grade) microdroplets to incrementally "build" up the desired results in RealSelf, I jumped on the opportunity and couldn't wait for the day of my appointment to arrive.
Although it was a long ride from where I live to Livingston, NJ, it would be well worth the trip as not many doctors work with this product or talk about it in such careful and precise detail. The office is beautiful, the staff welcoming and very helpful, and Dr. Joseph was amazing. His breadth of knowledge and the expanse of his medical background alone is so impressive that you might be willing to put up with a bit of arrogance that's a common trait in doctors who know way less, but instead Dr. Joseph is one of the warmest, kindest & ethical human beings I've met--triple that for doctors/surgeons...trust, I've met all kinds.
After carefully going over my medical history and examining my face, sadly Dr. Joseph concluded that he couldn't say with any degree of certainty, or even probability, that this procedure could help me and he explained in painful detail why (based on my nerves' and tissues' response to severe and repeated trauma). He also took the time to stress how blessed I am to have not just survived a pretty extensive list of life-threatening injuries, but to have worked my way back to thriving--albeit with the lumps, bumps and dents. As a woman with a harshly critical eye it's natural to freak out when you look in the mirror and see a dizzying amount of flaws in a world where, sad truth, we ARE judged by our looks, and I know I was giving vibes of despair. An unscrupulous, or even just a strictly business-oriented doctor could easily have seized on that vulnerability to say "okay, we'll give it a shot, but you know given what you've been through already it might not work", leading me on an journey to nowhere that would cost more time and money for poor results at best. Dr. Joseph didn't because he's a straight shooter with a good heart and an honest recognition of his limitations, despite his extensive expertise. This ran longer than I intended, but if it helps just one person get to the right doctor then the time it took to write (and read--sorry) all this is time well spent. His consultation fee is so worth it for the invaluable knowledge he'll share with you, whatever you decide to do.
