Cleveland Hormone Health Functional Medicine Institute

Absolutely the BEST experience ever!! Dr. Joseph was so easy to talk to, was not condescending, great listener and gave me a treatment plan that made sense with my labs! He made me feel so positive about my health (more so than any doctor really had) and breathed new life into functional medicine! Thank you Dr. Joseph!

I often catch myself reflecting on my incredible fortune to have found Dr. Joseph. In an industry where many physicians merely focus on the specifics of each encounter, Dr. Joseph stands out as a beacon of genuine patient care. His approach transcends the typical doctor-patient interaction; he doesnt just listen—he actively engages, using his expertise to delve beyond the surface of what patients believe they need, guiding them to what they truly desire.Under his guidance, the results speak volumes. In less than a year, Ive shed an astounding 86 pounds and have seen significant improvements in my sleep quality. But these physical transformations pale in comparison to the deeper, more profound changes Ive experienced. Dr. Joseph has empowered me to live a life where Im not just working out more and complaining less but thriving. The sense of control and peace Ive gained over my body is nothing short of transformative, leading others to notice and remark on how fantastic I look.To say Im feeling great would be an understatement—I am reveling in the joy of life like never before, all thanks to Dr. Joseph. His ability to listen, understand, and act on his patients deeper needs, rather than just their expressed wants, sets him apart in the medical field. I am beyond grateful for the privilege of being under his care and cannot recommend him highly enough. If youre seeking a physician who will truly change your life for the better, youve found it.

Dr. Joseph is the BEST! I have to say I was not initially excited about my consultation only because I have been let down for the last 3 years by so many healthcare professionals who refuse to acknowledge menopause as a real thing. My first interaction was with Kristen, she was so kind and patient with me on the phone. She explained everything in detail and gave me such hope! After years of being passed off with no regard to how I am feeling and suffering the menopause monster, I finally meet Dr. Joseph! All I can say is it was the best appointment I ever had. He listens, he hears you and he cares. Dr. Joseph is very thorough and answers all of your question. I am beyond excited about starting my new journey with Dr. Joseph. When I finished my consultation, I wanted to tell the entire world about him, that is how he made me feel from just one conversation. The best.......

Hormone Replacement Therapy by Dr. Joseph has improved my life immensely! Dr. Joseph did an extremely thorough consult taking into account all of my issues. After analyzing my labs he has prescribed medication that has changed my life so much. Im less tired, my skin looks awesome, Im building muscle the way I used to. I feel like I did 10 years ago! Dr. Joseph and Kristen both treat you so well! Im so grateful that a friend referred me here! I could not recommend them more! Thank you!

Dr. Joseph is AMAZING! He knows his field of medicine (and more). He listens, cares, and will set up the best individualized treatment plan. He literally changed my life by balancing my hormones. Ive been a patient for years and see him every 11 weeks; I dont ever want to go back to what life felt like before Dr. Josephs care.Kristen is also wonderful. Anything you need, shes on it!Id give 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph, and all he has to offer to patients. Hes the best!

I have been a patient of Dr. Joseph for over 6 years. Being a single working mom to younger children, I need a lot of energy! Dr. Joseph had not only balanced my hormones but has me feeling energetic like I did in my 30s! His ability to listen, empathize and offer practical solutions with care is truly a skill. I would recommend Dr. Joseph to any male of female looking feel great and live life to the fullest!

Dr. Gary Joseph has been treating me for more than 10 years and has really benefitted me. He is a great listener and understands issues that I have had. The topics may be difficult to discuss with others, but with him it feels natural. I did see a family doctor prior to Dr. Joseph,and found that to be a waste of time. The treatment was ineffective and generic. The prescriptions werent the best products nor was the diagnosis dialed in to my needs. Theyre not nearly as educated on this subject. Luckily I was able to hear about Dr. Joseph and the decision to meet with him years ago was definitely the right choice. My life has improved a lot. I recommend that if you are on the fence about seeing a doctor for hormone related issues, dont put it off, call Dr. Joseph.

I started seeing Dr Joseph about 7 years ago. I was in my late 40’s, gaining weight, energy level was low, and my mental clarity was not sharp. Fast forward to now, I have lost 25 pounds, workouts are tremendous, muscle mass has increased, stronger than I was in my 20’s, and my overall mentality clarity has greatly improved. I credit Dr. Joseph for all these positive changes in my life. He definitely knows what he is doing.

I have been a patient of Dr Joseph’s for over 14 years. (I see him every three months) I trust him with all my concerns. He always gave me sound advice and medical explanations as to why it would be the best course of action. My husband saw such a change in me that he sought Dr. Joseph’s advice on his hormone health. We have never felt younger, stronger and more vibrant. Balanced hormones is everything!!! The first step to true health!!!

I have been a patient for a number of years now of Dr. Josephs and have had nothing but a positive experience related to his professionalism and medical approach. There are different approaches medical providers take in this specialty, and some of them attempt to maximize their services and products for obvious reasons.This is not the case with Dr. Joseph. His approach is to extensively interview the patient and determine a care plan that optimizes addressing the concerns of the patient in the safest manner, not try to add treatments or services that are not necessary. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph.

Dr. Joseph has Genuinely changed my life!For the past two years, I was feeling like I was on that metaphorical downhill slide that is the joke at every over-the-hill party you attend but I was only in my early 40s. My energy levels were nonexistent, every day was a struggle to just do what had to be done. I felt like I was in a constant fog that pressed back on me mentally and physically. It affected my drive at work, home and unfortunately my drive in the bedroom. I started becoming emotional because I couldnt figure out what was wrong. I was gaining weight and not sleeping and becoming progressively more irritable. So I went to my primary care and requested that every test be run until we could identify what was wrong. Test after test was completed and I kept hearing the same results from my doctors, All your test are coming back in the green You are good. At that point my Doctor recommended I try antidepressants and seek out counseling and his lack of findings led him to the conclusion that the reason I was so tired all the time was due to depression. In my mind that was insane! I lived 42 years and all of a sudden Im depressed ....??? but whatever he was the doctor .. right !?. A shortened version of the story, none of the medications made a difference and in the end, I was left right back where I started... Until Dr. Joseph. In my first appointment, he listened, like really listened to me. He asked me questions that were spot on to the issues I was experiencing ... Mind Blown, but it gets better. Dr. Joseph starts to discuss the test results from the labs I had taken previous to the appointment, the test results that I had already viewed and they were all in the green, and proceeded to tell me several of my hormone levels are off... Im sorry come again? That is when he explains, green doesnt necessarily mean good and that adjusting levels that are on the lower end of the scale could make a big difference, and he said that just because Im older is not an acceptable reason to live with a decrease in hormones. From there I was educated on how the symptoms I was experiencing are related to certain hormones and by balancing my hormones I would feel the fog lift my energy being restored and my unreasonable emotions becoming more manageable. Dr. Josephs knowledge and confidence alone convinced me more so than the doctors I had been seeing for the 2 years prior. I started the testosterone shot shortly after our visit, the change was subtle but there was a change in my energy level, my thoughts were clear and less fuzzy, and the arthritis in my knees that had been acting up went away. The realization occurred the morning I was to take my next injection, I felt like me before I started the hormones, the tired unfocused me. It was an awareness that I hadnt felt immediately but now that the shot was wearing off a feeling of appreciation came over me, the Doctor was right I dont have to live like I was, I DO NOT have to accept that just because I am aging and my body is going through changes I should suffer, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL GOOD IN MY OWN BODY and Dr. Joseph made that happen for me. I am entirely grateful, I thank you for hearing me, for taking the time to educate me, and mostly for changing my life!

Dr. Joseph and his staff are top notch professionals, and also very caring people. Dr. Joseph listens, and he values the input of his patients when designing a treatment plan. I can state unequivocally that receiving the Gainswave treatments has enhanced my performance. I am very pleased with the boost it provided. Guys, whether you are experiencing ED or like me just want to improve your performance capabilities, don’t hesitate to discuss your options with this Doctor. He gets it, and he has the knowledge and skill to help you meet your goals.

First visited Dr. Joseph after getting less than satisfactory responses from my traditional primary care physician and now have been seeing Dr. Joseph for more than a decade. If youre interested in truly optimizing your health, Id highly recommend talking with Dr. Joseph and taking a more functional-based approach!

About 2 years ago I began a journey with Dr Joseph. It began with Testosterone treatments to increase my strength and stamina as well reducing my overall lethargy. Those treatments helped me sleep better, helped my joints to reduce aches and pains and helped me get some spring in my step. A year ago I added Semiglutide transitioning to Terzepetide treatments to help what was an out of control A1C of over 11 as of last month I have lost 52 lbs and reduced my A1C to 6.2. Gary and his team take the time to understand your goals and provide options for how you can get there. He does this responsibly by monitoring my blood work for any unsatisfactory results and if spotted taking the necessary steps to correct that. He’s knowledgeable and easy to trust. Looking forward to a longer healthier life at his direction.

Highly recommend Dr. Joseph. Started going to him to optimize the aging process, balancing hormones and getting the most out of exercise, for my age. Personable, experienced, knowledgeable and professional bedside manner. Appointments are on time without delay. The receptionist is great and will answer most questions and concerns in a timely manner.

Great staff- (answers call and texts and gets right back to you), great doctor (one that listens and solves issues)!!I have been a patient for ten years and will continue to be. My experience has been nothing short of excellent. I would strongly suggest giving Cleveland Hormone Health a try!

Finally !! A Doctor that listens to his patients. I feel so much better - referring people left and right looking for solutions that traditional medicine refuses to acknowledge.
