I can't say it enough; Dr. Cox is the most amazing medical doctor that I have ever had in my 51 years, and I have been through dozens. His "Bedside Manner" is the absolute top shelf of the top shelf, and he has always had an answer for me or a specialist recommendation that inevitably slots in the "Win" column. It almost pains me to only be able to give him a 10 rating knowing that most people in the world don't understand what they are missing with other doctors. He pays attention and is a caring person to boot. He is the best of the best.

The office was very clean and orderly. The staff were very professional, very courteous, very cheerful, very helpful. And the wait was not very long. The doctor and the student who was in the room were excellent. I felt very well taken care of, got all my questions answered, was not rushed at all. I thought it was a really good experience and I appreciate the professionalism. Thanks very much.

I was very impressed with Dr. Cox. As a matter of fact, in my entire years of having annual physicals and having a primary care physician, I have never had a physician take as much time as Dr. Cox did with me on our initial visit to establish family history and talk about my ongoing health. Thank you.

Dr Cox is the best. Great listener, replies professionally with explanations that are easily understood. He utilizes the My Chart system better than any other Dr I've dealt with as he responds quickly and is actually proactive by responding to test results even before the question regarding the results is asked. To summarize: Dr Cox is not only very knowledgeable but his "bed side manners" are second to none. He is the best and Wellstar is very fortunate to have him in their group.

I can't say it enough; Dr. Cox is the most amazing medical doctor that I have ever had in my 51 years, and I have been through dozens. His "Bedside Manner" is the absolute top shelf of the top shelf, and he has always had an answer for me or a specialist recommendation that inevitably slots in the "Win" column. It almost pains me to only be able to give him a 10 rating knowing that most people in the world don't understand what they are missing with other doctors. He pays attention and is a caring person to boot. He is the best of the best.
