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.

An excellent surgeon and eye physician
I have twice placed my sight in the hands of Dr. Cox’s extremely competent surgical hands He is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist that I have found ti be very meticulous in his pre-surgical planning. He comes to his clinic and the OR prepared to do everything possible not to merely achieve a good clinical result, but one that is as close to perfect as can be achieved. He takes as long as needed to be sure you understand the procedure, it’s risks & benefits as well alternative treatments. Dr. Cox speaks in the language of his profession which some might find to be off putting , but he is only trying to be precise. If you beat this in mind, you will find Dr.Cox has a great bedside manner and is even subtly funny. I urge anyone with eye problems to visit Dr. Cox. I am confident you will leave with a solid diagnosis and a clear understanding of how to fix your eyes. I am so glad I did.

Dr. Cox was very unprofessional during my visit. He was rude and showed no beside manner. I am concerned about the lack of patient confidentiality in the office. The doors were never shut while he was in the room and I could hear conversations very clearly he was having with his other patients. I am a nurse and I was very upset about his lack to obey HIPPA laws. Will definitely not be back, nor what I recommend him to someone .

Waited a long time to get rushed through. Almost didn't say anything to me at all. Although I work d in th medical field, he left me with no understanding of my condition. Also Very Rough!! By the time I got home I had a black eye, and a slight scratch. Most uncomfortable eye exam ever.

I just recently had cataract surgery on my left eye. having already been through this with my right eye in PA, I have to say, this experience was far easier, well explained and I'm having a much easier recovery time. Dr. Cox is outstanding. Eric McGee Elkins, WV
