Vijay Joshi

Extremely unprofessional and rude I asked about information on a parking sticker being a diabetic and how that would work or if it was possible for me to get one and he said “Goodluck finding someone that would sign that for you cause I definitely won’t” in a very aggressive and condescending tone

Dr. Joshi was very respectful and took the time to listen to my signs/ symptoms of what i was experiencing. He was very thorough in explaining a treatment plan that i was agreeable with.

My first experience was great. I was nervous and he took the time to explain everything to me and never felt rushed.

He refused to listen and enjoyed arguing with me rather then actually address my issue I have since gotten better but have never forgotten the incredible disrespect and derision I felt by this man

Charged $128 for a 3 minute Facetime Call. Will never go to him again!!!!

Do not go to this doctor. He cancels appointments at the very last minute and his staff is completely inept.

The told me they do not do prior authorizations for prescriptions they put me on , my insurance company laughed and said that that is ridiculous and laughed and said 90% of prescriptions require prior auth . They do not go above and beyond but they charge you like they saved your life. Dr joshi himself is okay.

He has trouble controlling his temper, though is not in any way threatening. He is capable of taking a dislike to a patient. I actually am doing very slightly better after having had now an endocrinologist for the first time. I would assume, without proof, that his anger is mainly vs. my very slight improvement in blood sugars, as opposed to the major improvement that he demands. He can’t seem to take it. It’s better to not speak to him at all once he takes a dislike to you.

Dr. Joshi is honest and direct, some mistake that for rude, I find it refreshing. He corrected some misconceptions that I had and he helped me to understand what the issue was and how to correct it.

I had an awful expirenece at this office I was 5 minutes late and even after I apologized I received attitude from the front desk.. medical assistant and the doctor himself. I hope my condition is temporary and I never have to go back. I was already nervous diagnosed with a condition that I'm not familiar with and they didn't help ease my nerves at all.

Dr Joshi is very rude and uncaring, not only does he spend 95 percent of the time on his computer when asking questions, when you try to answer, he talks over you and the lil bit that he don’t, when you try asking him a question, he interrupts and ask you more questions it’s like your questions and feelings aren’t even important, I will never go back to him again. I found a better dr in Southington from what I read in the reviews. I’ll try to update soon Dr Joshi is very rude and uncaring, not only does he spend 95 percent of the time on his computer when asking questions, when you try to answer, he talks over you and the lil bit that he don’t, when you try asking him a question, he … More

Horrible!!!!! Bad bedside manners...how about none at all! Doesn't take the time to listen to the patient. If it isn't on your lab test he doesn't want to hear about. Some doctors need to remember it doesn't just take smarts to be a doctor, it takes caring for your patients as well. So sometimes that means actually putting away your ego and listening. I would give a zero if I could. Horrible!!!!! Bad bedside manners...how about none at all! Doesn't take the time to listen to the patient. If it isn't on your lab test he doesn't want to hear about.

Direct and forward,. Follow His directions or don't waste his time trying to keep you healthy. Don't start with "Well my last Doctor said" then why aren't you still going to them? Don't start with "I hear or I read" don't think your the doctor. He got my sugar down from 300+

I'm really surprised at some of these reviews. I very much appreciated the Dr's straight forward approach to managing my condition. He advised me what I should and shouldn't worry about and that eased my fears. I considered him personable and easy to work with. He also showed consideration for my time, giving me future lab slips so I don't always have to come in. I'm really surprised at some of these reviews.

It didn’t matter what I was feeling in relation to my exhaustion and odd weight gain. He barely let me speak. He cut me off when I interrupted him. I left his office, got in my car and sobbed. He is only by the numbers. No empathy!

You can find a better endocrinologist.

I have to agree with a few of you - no beside manner and doesn't listen to what I am saying and asking of him. He only wants me testing my levels once a day and on the schedule of the printout they gave me. I need to test more frequently and asked him to write it on my script so I can get more than 25 test strips a month. He said I don't need to test more than once a day - well I feel he's wrong. I test more often because with my weight loss and my sugar coming down less than half of what it was I need to test more often because at times I'm going low. NOPE - still won't change the script so I can test more often. Think it's time for a change!!!

I have read the previous reviews but my own experience with the Dr. And his staff went quite well, wait time was minimal, staff was courteous but seemed hurried. The Dr. did spend plenty of time going over my condition and insisted that I get a medical alert bracelet, which turned out to save my life during a recent ER visit and subsequent hospitalization, because as he told me the problem I have isn't what the ER doctors look for in an emergency (Adrenal Failure Syndrome) So Thank you Dr. Joshi!

Very efficient office. Very knowledgeable staff. I have no complaints.

After reading these reviews, I decided to write one of my own (not something I ever do) because I think many people here are misunderstanding his "bed-side manner". Dr. Joshi tells it like it is and because of that he put me through hell while pregnant (and diabetic)-- but guess what? My babies were born alive and healthy. After their birth, he told me I needed to loose 45 pounds to be back on target for my health. I didn't want to hear that, but he was right!

I am a very brital diabetic n use emergency kits quite often and he refuses to refill them smh n says I don't follow his orders when he just switched it smh very bad bed side manners do not recommended at all if looking Joslin diabetes is very good and Will help you a lot more

I have no complaints or problems with my visit, wait time was minimal. Dr spent at least an hour, if not longer, going over my medical records. And it's been my experience that you wait for a long time to get into a room, and then a longer wait for Dr. But wasn't the case with me. And for him to spend so much time with me, making sure he had all my paperwork, as this was a first time, so was impressed. No complaints, as I don't like going to the Dr normally.

I don't know this endocrinologist. I do have to say Dr. Luthra from uconn hospital is a very good endocrinologist and she's not old,like this dr. Some older doctors are just plain,burnt out and should take early retirement.

Dr Joshi has the WORST bedside manner of any doctor I have ever encountered in my 46 years. Zero personality, zero pleasantries, and a condescending demeanor. He interrupts as you are speaking, types in his computer as you are speaking and does NOT listen to what you are saying. He makes me feel very uncomfortable every time I go there. Each time I leave I ask myself why I keep going to him? When an appointment has to be scheduled he is booked about 3 months out. So when you make a follow up appointment, at his office after seeing him, it is about 3 months away. Then when the time for the appt comes, 3 months later, I get a call from his office that HE is going to be away and needs to reschedule. That has happened 2x. Ok, no big deal. I reschedule. However, when the time came for my follow up aptmt, I had to reschedule last minute, because my 5 yo daughter had a fever and has febrile seizures with fevers, so I could not go make the appointment, dr joshi and his staff chastize, berate, complain and are just awful! That was the final straw. I dont need to take my time and money to see someone who is so uncaring and quite frankly, rude! I used to see Dr Petit for my endocrinology needs prior to the horrors that happened to him, before he stopped practicing. Dr Joshi is no comparison -ever. He should not see patients because he has no personality for them. NONE. I do not recommend this dr at all. And I am 100% sure that his patients will concur he is this way. This was the last straw. I have found a new endocrinologist, who welcomes me as a patient and is kind, caring, happy to see me and worth my hard earned money!

Dr Joshi was found to have no empathy or personality. He will recommend treatment set to increase his own profit. After my initial appointment I stopped by for a quick question, I was told the Doctor was busy, then advised in seconds, he refused to step out but would see me as an appointment only. His visit write ups all seemed to be cookie cutter templates, mine had inaccurate info, when brought to his attention he lost his temper and grabbed the form me hand. Arrogant and disrespectful. Brash

Dr. Joshi has lost sight of what patient-centered care is defined as. To say his bed side manner is lack luster would be to afford him too much credit. My first experience with him was symbolic of dealing with an automated answering machine. Information was readily available, if you said the right "key phrases". Empathy for what I am going through and what is to come, was non-existant. I was reduced to a series of systematic checklist of questions, nothing more.
