Despite the hardship, all the workers, doctors, nurses, etc. are so extremely kind. In Baltimore, we are truly so blessed and "lucky" with great doctors and hospitals and St. Joseph Medical Center is a prime example of that. The team of doctors is attentive, smart, empathetic and caring. The nurses are amazing and accommodating. The center is clean and filled with messages of hope and care, especially with their specialized spiritual team.

First physician 4.5/5-can't give a 5/5 due to inability to reach the physician when dealing with an elderly person who doesn't have the patience for "the portal via internet and wait for response ". The turn over of physicians seems high and they're overbooked. I will say Dr. Gallo is a great listener, takes time with patient and is very friendly-5/5 for her. Others do your research on before picking this as your primary location. As for facility overall the location is easy to get to just off 695/Joppa rd. That's where the good ends. There's maybe 4 handicap parking spots in front of the door but a hill for elderly to get up to reach the location or walk down the parking lot and then use ramp & doors aren't handicap accessible at all. Now in office the new check in is supposed to be easy with a new kiosk ! Haha doesn't work & office staff did NOTHING to offer assistance. After 5 min we went to the front desk pictured & both of the front desk staff ignored us, one had her head in her hands and after being asked if check in could be done with her she sluggishly took 1 hand and checked patient in for appt. the chairs need updating (look like they were picked up at bargain yardsale)& not clean. Overcrowded. The lab tech was nice and its convenient to get labs done there. Exam room was 2.5/5 clean and needs updating. Had 2 chairs for patients, exam table and seat for Dr with desk. Not decorated with nice decor or colors-Barr bones! Unfortunately this location is where some people must go due to insurance company/Medicare insurance. Overall I give Dr Gallo 5/5 for treatment but 3/5 for reachability (which could be front staff issues). She's a great doctor & very professional! The rest of the place gets 2/5 & I'm being generous!! I truly hope by the next visit this place is up to par and in compliance with regs for handicap friendly service.

Awful. I have been with GBMC Physicians Joppa Road for 18 years. The PA I had been seeing (which…read morewas initially because she had faster appointments than the actual physicians) and she is now leaving the practice. I was told when I called for an appt., that since the Nurse Practitioner is leaving, I have to go on a waiting list to get a new doctor as the other existing physicians "are not accepting new patients." I am not a new patient of the practice, unless these doctors started their own individual practices within the group. This is NOT a result of COVID. Getting appoints with this office is like pulling teeth. In the past before COVID.. I would get a sick appt 3 days out and would have to email my NP to set sooner. Why must we go through this? Its all about the $$$$$$. They have too many patients/not enough doctors.. so when existing patients need to see their healthcare professional, they can't get in. But yet, they are raking in the bucks! Medical practices have become a scam and a business, not about your well being. If you want a wellness visit, for blood work etc., it is four months out for an appt.. well, thats if your doctor doesn't change practices. .then you are put on reset.. and considered a "new patient" even after almost 20 years.

There were plenty of seats, including seats for those with thick thighs. I was updated of every step and then when he was in recovery, the nurse came and got me. I asked did they validate parking, but as a incentive they gave me a free parking pass because of the delay, which was top tier. I was advised where to go and pull up to pick up hubby once I got my car. Thankfully there was an attendant to help with getting out.

They cannot even say hello or good day. They over schedule so waiting in a small small crowded waiting room with no magazines, decor, water is terrible.

After another short wait, I was taken back by a Physician's Assistant. She gathered some basic health stats and then placed me in a room. The doctor came in shortly after, gave me a diagnosis and prescribed me medicine which they had right there. Overall, I think I was there for a little over an hour and was able to leave with a diagnosis and prescription. Not nearly as bad as I anticipated.
