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.

Top Notch
Dr Fox is extremely knowledgeable, upfront, factual. I read the reviews about him having a poor bedside manner and think these people just want a doctor who will tell you what you want to hear. Yes, Dr Fox can be blunt at times but that’s exactly what I like. He doesn’t sugar coat the news. You want the truth from a doctor with top notch skills who will fight for you? See Dr Fox. If you want someone to hold your hand and coddle you, see someone else. For me and mine, we want a knowledgeable, skilled physician who aggressively treats his patients but tells the truth. Dr Gox is my kind of doctor!

No I would not recommend Dr. Fox. I had 2 appointments. Both were very rushed. The doctor took cell phone calls during my appointment and never stepped out of the exam room, apologized, or said excuse me for this interruption. I do not feel my concerns were given any credence, not a single one of my questions were addressed. I left with the same questions unanswered and my concerns not addressed. I was to receive a CT of chest, but the machine was not working on the day I was at the office. I was told to call back and get it scheduled. When I called back everyday for 4 straight days I was told when it was approved by my insurance and scheduled someone would let me know. On the 4th day I asked for the number to the CT department. When I contacted the CT department directly I was told until I had an actual appointment for the scan they would not even try to get it approved with the insurance company. I have been waiting for a week to find this out. The office/nursing staff are rude .

My experience was different than most that have posted. He was very nice to me and my husband throughout the time I was in the hospital. He saved my life. He listened to me every time we had a conversation. I had no issues with him.

The critical pulmonologist was one that I referred to when I was practicing. I thought that he was knowledgeable about his profession. Well, I was wrong when I had dyspnea on mild exertion. I have PPMS. He was the 2nd pulmonologist that I saw for the dyspnea. I was praying that he could help me. Well, I was wrong. He performed a spirometry. He stated “It is fine. You need to exercise and loose weight.” I handed him a copy of a baseline spirometry that was done at his office. He asked “Where did you get this?” I responded “From your office.” No concern with spirometry. I heard this provider in the hall state “This is the one Taylor saw.” Ed Taylor is an another pulmonologist in his group. I was “doctor shopping” for help not drugs. This provider Fox only put a pulse oximeter on my finger pre and post exercise. I received my records from the visit. GUESS WHAT? HE CHARTED A FULL HEAD TO TOE EXAM. HE DID THIS FROM A PULSE OX. HE DID NOT TOUCH ME. NO ON THIS PROVIDER.

My grandfather was in the hospital and Dr.Fox was one of his doctors. We were standing in the hallway and he did not see us there. He said "Yeah this guy is about to die" with no emotion or care whatsoever.. He has terrible bedside manner. No one wants their loved one to be cared for by a doctor who looks at them as just another person... & My grandfather passed away this morning..

Came in. Never made eye contact. Continued talking to my Mom was once psychosis. Refused to listen to me her daughter when discussing her being over medicated. She ended up being restrained and placed in icu. Arrogant and unconcerned. Removed her bi pap machine twice saying she didn't need it despite being copd pulmonary hypertension lung and kidney failure. Beware.

Dr Fox has a total disregard for the feelings of family members of loved ones who are ill. He absolutely has the worst bedside manner of any doctor I've ever known. His comments are completely sterile and made with forethought.
