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.

Disgusting practices
Half-heartedly did his job and told a family member they likely had cancer without any thoroughness and then neglected to follow up on a confirmation. It’s clear this “doctor” care about anything but clocking out ASAP and getting paid. These kinds of people should not have a medical license.

Did not do what I went in for.
I went to him to have my throat widen again since my last Dr. moved. He acted like he could do that while I was under when he look at the lining of my esophagus. This has to be done every couple of years or sooner. Some months later I went back and seen his CFNP and was INFORMED HE NEVER ENLARGED MY THROAT! WHAT?? She informed me that they do not do that procedure. That was the only reason I went to him for! Wasted my time & my MONEY. Then the uncomfortable meds taken before hand, The continue choking on my foods and water. By letting me think he done what was promised he endangered my life.

I was referred to GI with another group in Hattiesburg by my PCP which would’ve taken 3 weeks fo be seen. I couldn’t wait that long due to being so sick and was able to reach out to Hattiesburg GI and get an appointment within 2 days. Dr. Fox is one of the most thorough doctors I have seen since being sick. He and his nurse Becky are so kind and compassionate!

Dr Fox is the very best. He is also kind, compassionate, and caring. I know I’m in the best hands every time I have to get a procedure. I feel very blessed to have this wonderful doctor in my home town. He treats me like I’m invaluable and I trust him completely. I got food stuck in my esophagus and had to have emergency endoscopy to get it out. With Dr Fox helping me though it and removing the blockage, I felt completely safe. He was reassuring, and made this experience as painless and not scary as possible. His bedside manner is truly comforting, friendly, and very caring. That’s in addition to being an extremely gifted and incredible doctor. My whole family uses him. We all love him. He is a true asset to Hattiesburg. He’s just the best.

Dr. Fox did a scope and refused to record an objective diagnosis based on the footage. Instead, he recorded subjective opinions as to why I have gastroparesis. When I asked to have the diagnosis recorded as well, he refused and banned me from his practice. I have never met another doctor so juvenile, pompous, and foolish! Very rude and abrupt!
