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.

Gracias a Dios que lo puso en mi camino,Agradecida con él,un excelente Dr.de todo corazón deseo que Dios le siga permitiendo ayudar a la gente,porque lo hace con tanto Amor,eso es Amar su profesión. MILLONES DE GRACIAS DR.COX

Dr Cox always took time to discuss what was going on and answer any questions we had. Treated my dad as if he were a member of his family and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Although I hope to never have the need to see him again, he would without a doubt be the only person I'd consider seeking if needed and would definitely recommend same for family and anyone else.

During my initial consultation, he was professional, friendly, informative and was responsive to questions and clarifications sought by me as a patient. He was specific on surgical procedures and treatment; plus, he identified other specialists who would be working with him as a team. This allowed me to meet with these physicians in advance of my surgery and gain their roles and opinions. My wife and I left our consultation with Dr. Cox feeling that we were getting a competent, caring surgeon
