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.

Dr Cox has the best patient care and listens and asks all the right questions. Hence why I have been coming to him for 5+ years! I appreciate him, the only complaint I have are the wait times to be seen beyond my appointment time. But it's definitely minor, doesn't affect Dr Cox great care.

I've never felt more appreciated or understood in my entire life without being in that room with Dr. Cox. And ever since that day, I have been so much better. And it's only been a week. But within 24 hours, I felt like a new person. And I can't say enough about Avalon, WellStar Health Park, and Dr. Stephen Cox.
