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.

The lab only had 2 people working than 1 person went to lunch that left 1 1 person to take care of the patients needs that's is unacceptable. Also the labs check in system has way to many steps to sign in. I had to wait over 2 hour to have my lab work done This unacceptable!!

Dr. Cox is a treasure. He always ends up drawing out much more than just immediate needs and really dives in to your health. He's caring and attentive and I always feel safe talking to him. This practice also has attracted some wonderful support staff, from nurses to NPs to the front desk, you guys are amazing, and it shows that you really enjoy and do your jobs so well.
