My husband continues to regain his quality of life following his corrective back surgery that was performed by Dr. Fox. He is happier and way healthier. Please if you have to have something done with neurology go to this Doctor!! We are forever grateful and thankful. God led us to Shands in Gainesville and away from Ocala. We appreciate you Dr. Fox. Thank you and God Bless YOU!!

I have watched my husband suffer emotionally, mentally and most of all physically over the past two and a half years. After two previous failed back surgeries that were performed by another surgeon in another town, Dr. Fox was able to bring my husband back to a good quality of life. He took the time to listen to my husband and then he took time to research thoroughly what it would take to fix his back. In my book you can say no wrong about this Doctor. He worked a miracle. I will highly recommend to my friends, family and other patients to go to this doctor. We are forever thankful to him and grateful for him!

As with any surgery I was very hesitant on whether I would be better with it or without it. I went to Dr Fox as a 2nd opinion. After that visit I knew he was the Dr who I would want to perform my surgery Corpectomy of the C-Spine. He made me feel at ease and answered all of my questions. During hospital stay he or one of his assistants were always there to answer questions and made me feel very comfortable. The staff at the office has also been great--called me and made sure I was doing good after surgery. It has been 4 weeks after surgery and I am feeling great and my scar is miminal(which is something I was very concerned about. A big thank you to Dr Fox. I would highly recommend Dr Fox and his office.
