“I loved Dr. Fox and look forward to my next visit. His bedside manner was amazing and his front office staff was friendly and attentive. 10 out of 10 recommend!”
DeShell K.March 18, 2026
“Dr Fox was very nice and listened to my concerns. He didn't brush me off or make me feel like I didn't know anything. I didn't feel embarrassed. He is knowledgeable and has a good approach. TBD if treatment works, but I was impressed with an action plan that wasn't just trying to slap another band-aid on it.”

The staff was friendly, polite and on top of everything. Dr. Fox is both extremely smart and nice, and I had a great experience. I was really impressed and will be back. The wait time was a little longer than expected but once I got called back, I had the doctor’s undivided attention and was given all the time I needed for questions.

September 26, 2024Jay B.Verified patient
I had almost given up on being cured. I’ve tried endocrinology, gynecology,MD all were lost. Thank you Dr Fox for knowledgeable expertise. I m starting to feel alive again.
March 20, 2024Crystal T.Verified patient
Dr Fox is new to the area so we had that in common immediately. I was initially expecting just a consultation, but we were able to jump in immediately to get a Cancer Screening, Rosacea review and 2 bumps frozen off. Very happy with the speed and efficiency.
January 8, 2024Selena N.Verified patient
Dr. Fox is an AMAZING provider. He is so kind, pleasant, makes you feel comfortable, confident in his profession, explains things in a way a child will understand. I appreciate him for making my teenager’s experience pleasant, that he will be back to normal one day. The past 6 months have been very difficult for my son with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation of the lips; from being talked about by peers, accused of smoking marijuana and the list goes on! We have spoken with medical doctors and they could not help with our problem. It didn’t seem important to them. But DR. FOX! The visits seems almost personal, to ensure you were satisfied with yourself! I don’t feel the care he provides is obtain great rating, but to truly make an impact of those he serves.
Thank you Dr. Fox for helping my son in his journey to normalcy and giving him his confidence back!

April 13, 2023Henri W.Verified patient
I know this might be different for each person, but the medications / topical creams that Dr. Fox prescribed for me significantly helped with my skin conditions. I was seen by him twice and I was very happy after both visits (for months until I needed refills).

Very knowledgeable doctor!
April 7, 2023Michael K.Verified patient
I have been to a dermatologist before and they would only be kind to you when you are spending a lot of money with them. When I came to this office, I didn’t know what to expect. I was very pleased with how everyone conducted their business. Dr. Fox was very friendly and was very good at explaining what steps I needed to take to get to my goal. I recommend everyone to see Dr. Fox, you won’t be disappointed!
