Dr. Cox takes a thoughtful and multifaceted approach to helping me through all of my health issues. He very extremely knowledgable about the interrelationship between various issues and helps paint a full picture of health, which helps drive an effective path towards better outcomes. Additionally, he is an excellent listener and has great emotional intelligence (which is not always common in my experience with doctors). I've said this before and will continue to say it - He is truthfully the best physician I have ever had. I am so grateful for him and Wellstar for the care I have received over the past few years.
