Dr. Joash is a true gem in the medical field. Knowledgeable, warm and extremely competent, she has transformed and upgraded the meaning of HealthCare for me. She answers questions and apprehensions in a calm and knowledgeable manner without being overbearing. Both my children were delivered by Dr. Joash and I would trust my life with her.

It is hard to overstate how amazing Dr. Joash is, and how lucky I feel to have been under her care for two pregnancies. Not only is Dr. Joash incredibly knowledgeable, she is warm, caring, and is willing to spend as much time as needed with her patients to ensure they feel confident about the care they are receiving. I suffered from recurrent miscarriages before I came under Dr. Joash's care and was given poor advice from other OB specialists, but from my very first appointment I knew that Dr. Joash was commited to ensuring we took every evience-based precaution possible to ensure I had a positive outcome. She was extremely knowledgeable about my specific risk factors and quickly put into place a plan to bring those risks down, and at every appointment took the time to make sure I felt reassured about the progress of my pregnancy. In addition to providing expert antenatal care, Dr. Joash also seamlessly navigated several delivery post-partum complications I experienced, and I am confident that both of my children and I are here and healthy today because of her exceptional medical judgement. I cannot thank Dr. Joash enough for all she has done for me, and cannot recommend her to others enough!

Karen was the obstetrician for my first pregnancy and I cannot imagine a more professional, considerate, compassionate and competent support. She went above and beyond to reassure me and guide me through to the delivery of my beautiful baby girl.

Immense gratitude to Dr Joash for consulting me thought my pregnancy and voluntary cesarean delivery. Dr Joash provided a clear guidance and recommendations, which were of high value as this’s my first pregnancy. She was also always available via phone/msg in case I had any questions/concerns. I would highly recommend Dr Joash as a pregnancy consultant and hope to be consulted by Dr Joash during my next pregnancy.
