Every medical person I encountered today on this first visit was wonderful! Very kind. Very knowledgeable. Very good at communicating. And very encouraging.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jobs for over 15 years. I believe without her help I would have lost the vision in my eye. She has followed up on me several times by calling me after hours by calling me at my home to check on me and discuss my care. Several of her doctor colleagues have told me what an outstanding doctor she is. I have nothing but good things to say about her. She has been one of the landmark people you meet going through life.

Dr. Joos has been caring for my eyes for at least 20 years. During this time she has always given me absolutely stellar care. I attribute my good vision to all she has proactively done for me. My gratitude to her is boundless. She is an excellent, excellent doctor and human being.
