I am a boxing trainer at Title Boxing and had been experience elbow, forearm, and wrist pain. Therefore made an appointment with KU Sports Med. and Dr. Fox was who I was seen by. Absolutely, NO bedside manner. Was given maybe 5 minutes of his time, was told it was tennis elbow and when I was asking further questions to him, this fella stood to walk out and told his assistant at the wheel cart computer to, “give him a business card if he has further questions”. Let me tell you something Fox, get over yourself and find another occupation cause this isn’t your calling slick.

He only asked one question and interrupted when I responded. He gave a diagnosis and treatment plan without reviewing imaging. When I didn't want the treatment he offered (steroid shot) he walked out of the room. He shouldn't be seeing patients.

I’m nearing my fourth week post surgery. Slowly healing and start rehab in two weeks. Dr. Fox, his PA Watts, and entire staff have been fantastic. He is serious and professional, which I prefer. So far, I am extremely pleased with Dr. Fox and KU staff and facilities.

My wrist surgery went perfectly. If you need surgery on your arm/shoulder Dr Fox is your man. I looked at some of the bad reviews and they all seem to be from people who were unhappy that they were told that a surgery won’t help them. Never from people who had surgery. In my experience if a surgeon tells you a surgery won’t help you should listen.

I just had my third surgery with Dr. T. Fox. Two prior shoulder joint replacements and one thumb trapeziectomy w/ligament reconstruction & tendon interposition. He is a brilliant surgeon (I researched him in advance) He is matter of fact, I like that. He never pushed surgery - I actually begged, you'll know when you're ready. My recoveries never difficult.... the very best.
