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.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Over the years I have been involved, not only in my own healthcare, but many others' as well. That said, I've met and had to interact with many physicians in all aspects of care. Dr. Cox is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and kind doctors that I have dealt with. My Michigan is fortunate to have him. I am fortunate to be his patient. AND behind every great physician is a TEAM that supports them: kudos to the office people and also all of the medical professionals who were involved with my recent shoulder surgeries. Yes, 2. I cannot say enough how awesome the Alma surgical team / members have been!
