What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Before meeting with Dr. Cox and his team, I had concerns that maybe they would be "She is [AGE]. This is good enough." Again, I stress this was only in my head before meeting anyone. I was 100% wrong with that assumption! They always treated me with respect and utmost care. Their goal was my goal. It was an incredible experience! That is, if you have to experience the need to see a surgeon. The score of 10 is too low for Dr. Cox and his department. Every single person was nothing but excellent. Even when I would walk by their office to go to PT, I always got at minimum a smile, but usually "Hi, Denise." What would I tell my family and friends? Exactly what I shared here. DO NOT HESITATE to contact Dr. Cox!! You won't find better. Seriously.

Aug 15, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I was in the room and completed the check in with MA/nurse on time. The doctor and PA did not come in for 42 minutes additional minutes. I understand thoroughness and other patients needing more time in certain scenarios. I feel this has become an industry administration issue (not provider specific) in scheduling patients in too small blocks, back to back, in order maximize capacity. It's every office, every provider, every speciality. The care was worth the wait, however, it feels disrespectful to patients' time and circumstance.

I would recommend Dr. Cox. This facility is a 45 minute drive but it is worth the drive. This last visit was a little frustrating, I do not feel i was listened too this time. But previous was great. We will see how the follow up is to evaluate if it is still worth the drive.
