James D Joslin's Online Review Report Card

Dr Joslin is not only kind but very attentive, asks questions pertinent to why I came in, informative, spent time with me and listened carefully to my complaints, and offered suggestions and help related to my issue. I would highly recommend Dr Joslin to anyone!

Dr Joslin is the worst doctor if you actually need help. I'm constantly in pain. Dr Joslin accused me of using THC (pot) , though I didn't, and decided to report me the a DEA list. After THC was legalized, my son started smoking. I was in another room, and I told Dr Joslin about that. Even though there was very little in my system, Joslin made it so I'd have to live in severe pain for the rest of my life. I had been going to this clinic for 15 years and had never had a bad urine test. They tested me a lot because of being on pain medication. Dr Joslin only had to check all of my previous tests to know I didn't use the stuff. He didn't. He's ruined my life, as I am now close to bedridden, I can't sleep very well because I wake up in pain. This doctor is no help to the ones who need help the most. Don't go to home if you're in any pain. Look up what DO stands for. He goes out of his way Not to help you.

He doesn't check previous years test results bef coming to a conclusion. He doesn't care if he takes it upon himself to take away medication that helps you with your daily life. Even though he knows you'll become bed ridden and in severe pain for the rest of your life. If you have pain, run as fast as you can to a different doctor. Good luck to you if you can't.

I'd seen other doctors at swma for years. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia & arthritis. I was taking pain med for bad pain I was in. My 1st Dr. moved & the Dr. after said he couldn't do anything else to help me. I switched Dr. in hopes they could help me. I didn't want to keep living in pain & thought there had to be something to stop it. I started to see Dr Joslin in 2017. I had only seen him a couple times when he had me do a urine test & said it showed positive for THC. At 56, I didn't use pot in any form. My son smoked it in the other room after it was legalized. I told him I didn't use it. Joslin said it was very small amount but he didn't believe me & put me on a DEA list. I wouldn't sign something saying I wouldn't use THC on my meds if it did. Plus I had seen him 3 months before that and had a urine test that was fine. For the last 4 years, pain has been so bad that I'm usually in bed, in worse pain than ever. If I go to ER or Dr's, they think I'm trying to get pain med like some kind of addict! I've had No quality of life. My body hurts too much! In the past, I went to pain management and was going to ask for a shot in my neck for the arthritis in my spine. I asked the Dr. there if I could ask a question. She said, "well I'm not giving you any pain medication." of course I told her I just wanted to know if I can get a shot to help. The shots don't last a month and it's hard to get someone to drive me. Even ER is condescending towards me when I don't even ask for pain meds. My kids made me go to ER for a TIA and another time cause my doctor went on vacation and didn't leave anyone to refill Lyrica. I was on the highest amount and no one was there to refill it. I was going through some kind of withdrawal symptoms. My kids told me I had to go to make sure I was alright. The doctor was very condescending and started talking to me with baby talk! Then gave me something for my stomach and said it would work better than pain medication. I didn't ask for pain medication!! This is my painful, bed ridden life now. My kids have to bring me dinner upstairs in my room now, because I can't do it without pain like I'm going to die sometimes. This is no way to live. All because Dr. Joslin wouldn't believe the truth! He's a horrible doctor!!

The Doctor I have been in to many years, he listens and does no rush you and always follows up

He’s a great doc but has gotten too busy to see patients anymore ! It’s sad I have to find a new doc

We found him to be extremely caring and understanding. He listens carefully to what is being said and is very respectful to his patients. We highly recommend him.

Having moved from a small town & needing a new Dr, I was apprehensive I would find one who would meet the standards to which I had become accustomed to. From the moment we met until leaving, I found Dr. Joslin to exceed my expectations. He asked appropriate questions, listened intently, took notes & delved into my medical history. I never felt rushed which made me feel like a priority. I like his support in trying a holistic approach before meds & left highly satisfied in my visit & my new Dr.

Spends plenty of time with patients. Listens and respects what you say. Highly recommended!

Now a corporate doctor. Takes 4 to 6 weeks for appt and then he has no recollection of previous appt. or things said. Very untrustworthy!!!
