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.

Great Doc and surgeon
Dr Mox listens to you and answers honestly.

Dr. Mox And the OrthoIllinois Team were amazing!
I'm not sure in all of my years if i've ever had a more efficient and pleasurable medical visit. From the check in to the waiting area and concessions.... To the xray room and xray tech.... To the interns, Doctor's assistant, check out team and of coursr Dr. Mox, the experience was 100% efficient, timely, and the way all offices should be. After x-rays Dr. Mox gave me 3 possible options to take with my bothersome injury. After an in depth review of each possible option, we agreed one and I Will be following up in person with him and the team in 30 days again. I cannot stress enough how this was the most efficient smooth running office visit I have ever experienced in all of my years! I will be telling everyone about my OrthoIllinois. experience ---- thumbs up!!

Dr. Mox shows genuine interest and concern in every patient's comments and perspective. He has treated my husband and me for 5 replacements over the last 22 years and every one has been excellent. We have total confidence in him.

Extremely Knowledgeable, Long Term Patient
I have seen Dr. Mox since 1997, with many years of seeing him in between however, he remains the same professional, highly educated and great listener about my issue, now as he was when I first met him. I also know that as with many physicians, he continues to keep up to date with new technologies and procedures.
