Dr. Cox is an excellent doctor who provides special attention. The only problem is the attention of the receptionists outside, as they are not friendly. There is always a problem where they then cancel without authorization. For a long time my family has been going there, and there is always friction. And their attitude leaves much to be desired compared to the quality of attention that Dr. Cox gives. For the receptionists outside, 1 star and zero recommendation.

Your billing system and check in process isn't bad. It's horrible. It wouldn't take my Medicare number. Then I was charged $273 for a physical that is completely covered under Medicare. Now I need to go through layers of bureaucracy to get my refund. It's a ripoff
