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.

Highly recommend
PCP spotted a potential basil cell cancer during annual check up & encouraged me to see dermatologist as follow up. Learned wait time for appt was several months. Was able to work with Dr Cox’ office and get squeeze in a canceled appointment the same week. A biopsy was taken & I am awaiting results, and in a much more comfortable state of mind then would be otherwise.

Good Doc, Horrible Wait Time
I have been coming to this practice for almost 10 years now. Dr. Cox is great once you’re seeing him regularly. However, wait times are horrendous. I show up 10 min before my appt but usually I won’t see him until 45 min after my set appt time. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and I keep seeing him for myself and my daughter because of the rapport. But it is frustrating to deal with the wait and to carve out a significant amount of time for an appt where you spend most of your time waiting.
