Dr. Cox was great! The only problem I had to wait in the room for one hour before doctor came
September 10, 2023

We loved the provider, not so sure about the facility itself. Finding the practice (no signage and we would prefer not to enter through urgent care) and signing in was not easy nor was it fast. Signing in took forever on the self-serve kiosk, which we thought was supposed to be faster given that we signed in online. Then it wouldn't take payment, so we also had to sign in yet again with a person.

Dr. Cox and his staff were very, very nice and cordial, very professional and he really explained medicine and took the time to explain it. So I could have a better understanding and what the effects would be, and what the side effects would be excellent office. Visit, thank you very much.

Dr. Cox is always so patient and kind, and thorough and I appreciate being able to reach out to him via Atela Health because I live close to an hour away from the clinic. So, it actually is really cool that I'm able to reach out to him and still, you know, see him on the other end of the line, and get health care in a different way. So I do appreciate him very much. And, as always, we love Dr. Cox. Thank you.

It was my first visit, so there was a lot to go over. I felt like I was really rushing to get everything said. I felt like the provider was talking very fast as well. Hoping the next visit will go a bit more calmly. Also, I was fasting for bloodwork. I got to the lab at 12:05pm and there was a note saying that the lab person was at lunch till 1:30pm. I thought that was a long lunch for someone who didn't have any back up. I came back at 1:30. Got my blood drawn at 2pm ish. Man I was hungry!
