Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

After 20 yrs, left me w/out a doc (heart bypass)
After 20 yrs of a trusting doc/patient relationship for my entire family. She took the word of the new, militant office staff who lied when I had to call 4x to remind them they forgot to schedule a test for blood clot. I was fired as a patient w/ Heart disease, hx of heart attack & quadruple heart bypass surgery. Over the past 2 yrs, Dr. Joy has been irresponsibly stepping away from her practice & now only works 3 days a week. Patients are told if you can't see a PA, then you'll need to go to the Emergency Dept. I've been a patient at Holland Road Family Practice for 40 yrs and 20 with Dr. Joy when she took over for Dr. Evans. The oath of 'Do No Harm' comes into play as she clearly didn't care enough to even call me to discuss. I'm devastated with her disconnect from her patients by working Mon-Wed only. She clearly doesn't care about leaving a 20 yr patient with heart issues w/out a doctor. I would strongly recommend against going to her. Choose dedication & Integrity instead.

I have been a patient of Dr. Joy Gianvittorio for many years. The wait time is minimal. The office is clean and is a pleasant environment. The office and nursing staff have always treated me with kindness and have been most helpful and accommodating over the years. Dr. Gianvittorio is very knowledgeable, personable, compassionate and patient. She truly is someone that I respect. I feel valued as a patient. When she meets with me, she takes the time to answer all of my questions. I always leave the office feeling confident that my concerns have been addressed by someone who possesses a vast amount of knowledge and expertise.
