Axel W. Joob, MD

The renowned ancient Greek philosopher Socrates asserted that "All professions originate from humanity, with only three being divine: teacher, judge, and doctor." This notion becomes increasingly persuasive when one encounters individuals in these fields, whose exceptional expertise leaves a lasting impression. It is as if a specialist has been divinely appointed to assist you, leading you to believe that you have indeed found the very best. Such individuals remain etched in your memory, along with their impactful words and the significant contributions they made to your life.

He performed surgery on me almost 5 years ago and he's still my favorite! I have been in the hospital for other reasons since then and soon as he is aware of it, he makes a daily visit AND DOESN'T CHARGE! Who does that?? He has to be so popular and so busy- yet you feel like his only patient during the appointment. I highly recommend Dr Joob. He's one of a kind.

Dr Joob is easily the most compassionate, caring doctor I've ever had. He spends all the time with you that you need, visits patients multiple times a day in the hospital and has a great reputation among the other doctors at Lutheran General. I highly recommend him to anyone having need of a great cardiac or thoracic surgeon!

DR Joob is the most amazing and caring person, he saved my life his staff are all wonderful and caring people.i count my blessings I have him in my life..

Fantastic Dr. Fantastic team. So lucky I found him. Am now cancer free because of his team and the robotic surgery. Thank you everyone
