    Josh provides context when explaining why I need to exercise more to improve my overall health and he generally explains using "laymens" terms versus "medical" speak so I can better understand.

    Josh is the type of family medicine provider that others should try to be. I always enjoy my appointments and discussions with him - and while no one typically enjoys going to the doctor, I know when I speak with Josh, I will be heard and my concerns will be addressed in the best way possible.
