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 and staff are great! Have never had a bad visit.

I had the Lapband done in Scottsdale, AZ and needed an adjustment when I moved to OR. Dr. Fox was very skilled at doing the fills and explained everything. I am now considering gastric bypass and would love him to be my bariatric surgeon but he doesn,t accept Medicare.
