Your trust is our top concern.

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.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My first experience with a cardiologist. Dr Cox assured me that he will take care of my condition. I feel confident. He is so pleasant while so professional. He's the best!!

I’ve never had a more caring physician!
Dr. Cox has treated me for the past few years and the comfort and peace of mind he’s given have been such a blessing. Anything related to the heart can leave your mind full of doubt, fear, and anxiety. Dr. Cox takes the time to not only answer every question in detail, but also educate you on whatever procedure will be done. He has the discernment to show sensitivity and brevity when needed as well as sprinkle in a bit of humor to put his patients at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Cox!!

Remarkable. None better in my opinion. Always attentive and takes the time necessary to actually offer a real patient visit, unlike many docs nowadays who touch base and get out as fast as possible. Dr. Cox truly cares about his patients and is the best doc I have had in 40 years or more. I am a retired surgeon myself, so I know all about separating the wheat from the chaff.

My experience with Dr. Cox both in the hospital and in his clinic has been excellent. I feel extremely confident being under his care. He listens both to the concern regarding my heart but also picks up on some of the other issues I am dealing with. During my last visit he noted that my left ankle is swollen due to surgery but being extra cautious he had ultrasound done on my leg which verified that there was no circulatory problem
