Joseph P. Gjolaj, MD

Dr. Gjolaj and his staff are committed to treating each patient and their concerns with special attention and individualized care. The medical care that is provided goes beyond the office or the operating room and endeavors to treat each patient and their diagnosis with the best and most current treatment options, whether it be surgical, non-surgical, minimally-invasive or traditional open surgery. He and his staff also work closely with other health care providers who specialize in nonoperative treatment options to ensure each patient gets the treatment that's right for them, even if surgery is not the best option.
