Dr Joyner did my surgery when I was a child 10 years ago. No problems so far. I think of him once in a while and thank God for sending me to this doctor. God bless him :) Yelena.

TaraLacey, WA03.01.12

My son was born with hypospadius and we made the long drive from Lacey to have him perform his surgery. Dr. Joyner was amazing with my son and Aiden has never had another problem.

DianaCentralia , WA01.25.12

Dr. Joyner treated 2 of my daughters. One was evaluated, tested, and then referred to his nurse Jean, who was beyond amazing. She worked with my older daughter, using biofeedback and many other things to help her with a protracted problem. My younger daughter was tracked for 2 more years and eventually he performed a minor procedure and when it didn't work, actual invasive surgery. He was conservative, helpful, patient, respectful and when problems arouse post-surgery, which were not his fault, he dealt with me and my physicians over then phone in my local area. I was thrilled with his work.

I really appreciate Dr. Joyner's proffessionalism, he assessed my son and scheduled a prompt surgery and my son now feels more confident and wants to do great things from meeting his Dr. Thanks

KatieLacey Wa03.09.11

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Joyner. He saw my 5 year old son, found out the problem and quickly scheduled surgery to help him. The surgery went great and my son is doing 100% better. I would recomend him to anyone!
