Dr. Cox is great. He is kind, patient, empathetic, knowledgeable and he listens. I went in to the office with a problem and left with a solution. I now understand why he is booked out for months! I highly recommend Dr. Cox!

Wellstar is becoming too overrun with technical "improvements ",and non medical staff, apparently in an attempt to stay ahead of the rest of the so called improvements in our modern way of life. I suggest slow down. Medicine is getting ahead of itself. We need more hands on, fewer useless notes and other distractions. Speaking as a retired family physician.

The fee is really expensive, especially for a phone visit. The app was difficult to use and hard to tell if there was anyone there for a while. The instructions had me waiting on hold for 15 min before the apt even started (not all necessary for a phone call, instructions should have actual time), and then the dr was 20 min late due to scheduling. The visit itself was fine, but the app & scheduling need work.

I can't say it enough; Dr. Cox is the most amazing medical doctor that I have ever had in my 51 years, and I have been through dozens. His "Bedside Manner" is the absolute top shelf of the top shelf, and he has always had an answer for me or a specialist recommendation that inevitably slots in the "Win" column. It almost pains me to only be able to give him a 10 rating knowing that most people in the world don't understand what they are missing with other doctors. He pays attention and is a caring person to boot. He is the best of the best.
