Best Doctor I have ever found. Can not say enough positive things about Dr Knox. He spends as much time with you as you need and explains everything to you as well as answers you questions in easy understandable terms.

Although Dr. Knox is not in the Starched White Lab Coat, or Perfectly Trimmed hair line. His calming presence allowed for me to discuss what I needed to, with our any hesitation or reservation that I would be judged. Before Dr.Knox gets the pad of paper out to start writing for prescriptions he discussed alternative solutions. However, these were not given as ultimatums , yet solely suggestions. I appreciated that.

Dr. knox reminds me of an old country doctor due to the fact he is quite patient with me and each time I had a medical situation with my disease, he truly seems to care and honestly listens. He is truly one in a million as a physician. I wouldn`t trade him for any other doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Knox since his days at the clinic in Louisburg,KS,over fifteen years ago. My family goes to him. He is a great doctor who always puts his patients first and formost. He comes across as a very caring and concern Doctor, always interested in each of his patients.

Doctor Knox is a wonderful doctor, he takes his time to explain everything he has to tell you. He is compassionate and well traveled which makes me feel much more comfortable with him. He is the kind of Doctor that you would not only trust your life with but would also be great to go to a concert wit, and just hang out.

When I contacted Dr. Knox; I was having a problem with Edema. He quickly diagnosied my problems and we immediately started a treatment plan. I have had 2 prodecures and they have both been very successful. I would highly recommend Dr. Knox.
