I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes with Dr. Fox. He is so supportive, explains everything as he’s doing it and made me feel very comfortable. His staff is also amazing. They talk to you, don’t just walk around like robots. I would, and have recommended Dr. Lawrence Fox to anyone looking for an ophthalmologist!

From my first visit before cataract surgery to the follow up visits after surgery Dr. Fox and his staff were fantastic. Dr. Fox and his assistant Crystal work excellent together and the whole experience was run like a well oiled machine. I was very impressed. I now have 20/20 in the eye that he removed the cataract. I would recommend Dr. Fox to everyone.
