I really hate the negative reviews Ive read on Dr Fox!! He was professional and caring with my child. He never once so called “flirted “ with his nurse. He communicated with her, some thing funny came up, he laughed, she laughed, we all laughed which made the experience even better. I would defiantly recommend him to anyone with orthopedic needs! Thank you!!

He is a total nut case. And very rude and unprofessional. Most of his time he spent with flirting with the nurses and could care less about his patients.

My daughter was a patient and upon leaving the exam room said to me, "Wow, he was condescending." Accurate words from an 8th grader! Unprofessional in appearance (heard of casual Fridays, but he looked like he just rolled out of bed). Seemed annoyed the entire few minutes he was with us. Do not use this doctor--your child deserves better.

Dr. Fox was wonderful! He was great with our newborn son, he was very calm and interactive. My husband and I appreciated his holistic treatment approach, offering us reassurance, information for realistic expectations. And he did a great job with us as new parents! He offered exercises and comments we could make to reassure the grandparents, which in turn was reassuring to my husband and myself. We felt we could trust him and would return if ortho concerns arise in the future!

My son broke his finger and Dr.Fox made it simple and easy to understand where and how long this would take to heal. Now my son at 17 broke his finger again on the other hand and we will be going back to Dr. Fox
