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.

No Compassion or Follow Up Skills
No communication within the office. I was treated differently because I was self pay. Wait was long and schedule was stacked because talked to those in waiting room and we had same appointment time! The assistant does all the work only saw Dr. 2 minutes. Dr said my spot needed biopsy but assistant told him I was self pay, so he then proceeded to say let's just watch spot for 6 months,unbelievable. Is this how people die because of waiting? Did he not think I could pay? I asked him what he truly thought and he said biopsy, so I had biopsy that day ( by assistant)! I had to wait extra days because they don't follow up on lab results and never inform me I had to register my email with lab testing my sample! I also got an extra bill from lab that I was never informed about 2 months later!! Horrible experience! Only positive was my results were negative- NO CANCER!!

Very best dermatological surgeon
While he may not have the best personality, he does meticulous work. He’s removed three cancers (1 basal and 2 squamous) from my face. I thought I would have no nose left after the last two were on top and side of nose. My nose is perfect. If I don’t tell you, you would never see the scars. I trust no one else.

I waited for over 1 hour and he saw me for about 90 seconds. I have a history of pre-cancerous basal cell carcinomas. He whisked in and looked me over for about 30 seconds, then whisked back out. An assistant had to call him back in the exam room to show him something on my back. "Take a picture of it," he said and then is never seen again. I asked the nurse, "Should I keep an eye out on this thing on my back?" "I would," she said. Appointment over. Money please. This is what happens when you have only two dermatologists in a city of 70,000 people.

My husband and I have had quite a few procedures and surgeries between us with Dr Cox and his excellent staff. Yes, we have to wait longer than we would prefer unless we get appointments first thing in the morning or right after lunch, but then it’s not as bad. But his level of experience and expertise is superior. And even if he’s not in the room for long periods of time, his most excellent PA’s and nursing staff sure spend plenty of time after he has to leave! The team, which I love the team approach, makes sure you have nothing left unanswered!!! I highly recommend Dr Cox and his team!!!!

Dr. Cox is a true professional.. always pleasant...examines you thoroughly along with his dedicated and outstanding nursing staff. I am very grateful for his care over the many years that he has been my dermatologist. Specifically, his surgical procedures are painless and thorough. He always explains everything you need to know and is reassuring. As I previously stated, all hid nurses are very knowledgeable and thorough as an integral part of his team.

I have had no problems with Dr. Gary Cox or his staff. He has helped me with a few questions about skin bumps or irregular moles, he has taken samples and got with me within a couple of days. I have had surgery without any problems, I did halve to wait; but that’s part of the process. I have BCBS insurance and had no difficulties. I hope this helps with making a decision. Thank you

I met with Dr cox a few years back and I was very impressed. He was eager to help and really had a detailed talk with me about my skin issues. I had been to many doctors for a rash I had on the back of my leg and no doctor could figure out how to cure it. I met with Dr cox and it cleared right up. I travel an hour and a half to go see him and I couldn't be happier with the service of him and the office staff!

I have found that he is respectful of his patient's time and while it is a hassle having to go to Victoria to see a dermatologist, I feel he is worth it. No false fears in order to make money. He is very friendly and talks to you, answers your questions and reassures you all at eye level.
