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.

Horrible doctor
My mother was a longterm patient. One day, her voicemail recorded a conversation between Dr. Fox and his receptionist. It was clear that the receptionist didn’t realize that the conversation was being recorded by my mother’s voice mail, on to which she had just left a message and she obviously hadn’t disconnected the call. Both the doctor and the receptionist insulted my mother, made nasty comments about my mother’s age and medical condition, and laughed about her health. When my mother confronted the receptionist with the recording, the receptionist told my mother they were dropping her as a patient. This doctor should NOT HAVE A MEDICAL LICENSE. (The recording sounded like Dr. Fox and his receptionist had more than a professional relationship.)

What a wonderful Doctor and Staff
Dr. Fox and all involved in my new patient appointment made me very comfortable and were extremely knowledgeable. I hadn’t gotten home yet from the visit and test we’re already scheduled getting me in asap which is refreshing. I’ve been pushed around since Covid and my health has just got worse. Not with this doctor. What a blessing. Wow!!!

I have complete confidence in Dr. Fox. He is an intelligent doctor who genuinely cares about his patience. Any time I have called the office with a question or faxed information to him, I do not have a long wait for an answer; and always on the same day. I have recommended him to others, and will continue to do so when the occasion arises.
