I have known and been going to Dr. Fox for the last 20 or so years. He is an outstanding physician who is very caring and takes his time diagnosing, explaining and taking appropriate action to improve the subject ailment. I have also been impressed with his great bedside manners that make his patients feel relaxed and to know they are in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Fox to anyone that is looking for an outstanding Othopedic Surgeon; the VERY BEST.

I had a hip replacement from 2006 that had worn out or gone bad. After 2 consultations, Dr. Fox, I could tell, had the experience to get me back on my feet. The staff communication, and Dr. Fox's patience with me "I first had to finish radiation therapy" really made me feel at ease. He determined that I only needed a partial repair before surgery, replacing the ball and cup. This was way less evasive, I'm on my feet and hoping to play golf after5 weeks. The staff was very responsive post surgery, with follow up phone communication and 2 meetings within 5 weeks. I highly recommend him and cannot

Dr. Fox performed knee replacement surgery on me and I would not go to anybody else for any kind of an orthopedic need. Dr. Fox is an excellent doctor and the best at what he does!
