Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Dr Fox took care of my hand issues without any problems whatsoever. His bedside manner as usual was excellent and I would recommend, not just Dr Fox but all of the surgeons at this office.

Dr. Fox is the best doctor! I have been a patient since 2008. Dr Fox has incredible bedside manners and is caring, sympathetic, and very attentive. He answers all your questions and eases your concerns. Dr. Fox makes sure that you fully understand your injury and treatment plan along with thoroughly going over MRIs/x-rays before walking out the door!

Dr. Fox has been working on my body since i was a freshman in High School. I am a sophomore division 1 college football player that has come by a fair share of injuries since my freshman year in high school. I’ve dealt with MCL sprain, wrist problems, broken and dislocated fingers, achilles tears, bruised shins, etc. Dr. Fox has been my number 1 go to Dr. even in college with college doctors. He is an amazing Dr that takes time to find out what is wrong and how to fix it. Thank you Dr. Fox !

Dr. Fox is an amazing doctor. When all other physicians told my son that he'd never play football again, after a serious ankle injury, while playing football. After being treated by Dr. Fox, I can testify that, my son was able to complete his high school football experience and go on to play Division 1 football.

Dr. Fox never gives up on finding what is causing your pain. I have been going to Dr. Fox for over 25 years for back, knees, shoulder and hip. He has preformed 3 surgeries including half knee replacement 9 years ago. The scare is hard to find and DR. Fox himself has a hard time seeing it! My wife and son are also patients or Dr. Fox and we recommend many of our friends to see him. The best!!!
Sometimes you wait in the exam rooms only because he is giving patients the attention they require.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fox and also work with many of his patients as a physical therapist for almost 20 years. He performed an ACL reconstruction on my knee in 1999 and it was a success! I was able to return to beach volleyball and skiing which I am still playing to this day! His patients have consistently good outcomes in PT and I always hear good feedback from his patients that I have under my care about his treatment and his commitment to getting them back to function!
