  • Dr. Joshua treats me like I was a family member. I'm so fortunate to have him on my MGH team of amazing Doctors Surgeons, and nurses that I have, and Surgeons I've had. [redacted] I have a large team compared to most at MGH and no one could convince me to go anywhere else!!!! [redacted] So blessed to have them all!! Thank you for creating and maintaining the best healthcare system in the country. I'll put it up against all of them.
