We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

We had a great experience with Dr. Cox. I brought my 92 yr. old mother for a steroid injection. He was very reassuring as she was a little nervous. Today her knee feels much better. He is my Dr. and I knew he'd take good care of her.

Dr. Cox explains my condition on my knees to me where I can understand. He gave me some braces for my knees so I can walk with less pain. Will be getting knee replacement surgery before to long. Thank you Ortho Carolina and Dr. Cox.
