Dr. Cox is probably the best doctor that I've ever had in 15 years. He is very, very attentive to everything that you say to him and he researches everything so that he knows exactly what to do for you and he is, his bedside manners cannot be improved. He is probably one of the best doctors ever and I cannot say enough good things about him.

I just wanted to say Dr. Cox is a phenomenal primary doctor. He always listens and seems genuinely, you know, interested in what you're saying and you don't feel like cattle. So I'm over the moon. You know, I'm so grateful to be his patient. So that's all I have to say. He's a great doctor. Y'all are lucky to have him. Thank you. Bye.

I like Dr. Cox which is why I have continued to see him. The lady at the front desk that helped me was also nice. Having said that, I can not stand visiting this facility and dealing with wellstar. I feel like I'm in a factory due to it feeling like such an impersonal experience (outside of dealing with Dr. Cox). It feels like it's a business (which I realize it is, but it shouldn't feel that way), with no sense of warmth. It's also ridiculous that I have to book my appointment outrageously far in advance, yet I didn't see anyone until 30 minutes after my appointment time (and I arrived 15 minutes early). I didn't time it, but after the nurse, I'd guess I waited another 20+ minutes before Dr. Cox arrived. All-in-all, it's a terrible experience. This was a regular check-in, but every time I visit I just hope I never have a serious medical issue where I'll actually need to depend on this company and facility.

Dr. Cox is excellent. Listened to my background and was extremely excellent in offering feedback, medication, delight to speak with. Would see him again anytime. Actually, any provider, Nurse Oones, Dr. Boyd, Dr. Cox, everyone I've dealt with at WellStar are excellent. Made me feel 100% comfortable.
