Dr Cox is the best Doctor possible. So many Doctors are specialist so they pas you along to someone else. Because of this, they never get to know your full medical condition. Dr Cox cares and it shows in his practice. All of the staff in his office are great. They care and it shows in the way they work together and with the patients. If every practice was like this one it would go a long way in fixing the medical system. I can't recommend this practice enough.
