I very rarely see a doctor multiple times because I always seem to have a personality conflict (usually my fault), however Dr Fox is fantastic! His office staff is very friendly and accommodating; Dr Fox comes into the room in a matter of minutes and is always personable. He has helped my condition greatly and always asks and listens to my feedback before concluding or prescribing anything. Have been back a few times and he is now my permanent dermatologist.

It was a very pleasant experience. I was seen within 10 minutes of arriving for my appointment. The staff and doctor were courteous and professional.
Verified patient
I felt as though I was rushed through my appointment. He barely looked at the issues I pointed out to him but quickly prescribed medication. I asked if there was anything that could be done about my scarring and he gave me a snide chuckle before saying there is nothing that can be done about that. I will not be returning; I thought I would give this Dr. a try because he is closer to where I reside now, but I would much rather take the hour trip to a dermatologist I had been visiting previously.

Great doctor
excellant
Verified patient
Very professional, he and the staff explained both options and procedures I had before taking any action. The procedures with Dr Fox have been nearly painless and a follow up appointment set right away.
Great, professional visit and very helpful!

went really well.
Verified patient
Dr. Fox was receptive to my concerns and gave direct answers. His explanations were simple enough for me to understand but addressed the issues.
Prompt and professional.
Verified patient
My initial visit was very satisfactory. Dr. Fox answered my questions satisfactorily. Unfortunately the follow up to my visit was totally unsatisfactory. I was assured that I would receive a call within 3 days regarding the results of a biopsy. I did not receive a call as promised. I called several times and never was able to speak with Dr. Fox. I finally got a call from his receptionist several days later and she gave me my biopsy results. I will not return to this office.
Verified patient
Dr Fox was very nice and professional. He was recommended to me by my primary doctor. When my son's acme got out of control, he was the first choice for me.
Verified patient
It's been a while since my appointment but finally wanted to leave feedback and say... Absolutely terrible experience that left me physically scarred from biopsies I did not need. Very delayed treatment for a very simple problem. Actually, I diagnosed myself at the first visit. However he said I was incorrect. He led me to believe I had some form of autoimmune disease, possibly lupus which was also an unpleasant process to go through. When the diagnosis was finally made many weeks later, I couldn't even get the doctor to give me the prescription in what I would consider a timely manner for the medication to treat the problem which had obviously spread because it was not initially treated properly. I would NEVER recommend this doctor to anyone!
Pleasant visit. Dr Fox has a calm demeanor and appeared to be concerned about my health. I'm not much for small talk so I appreciate that he gets right down to business. Had me out of there fast and with a better understanding of what was going on. I would happily return to Dr Fox if the need arises.
Verified patient
Yes, I would see this doctor again. He seemed fair, and not looking to over-complicate anything, more than it needs to be. He patiently listened to the background of my issue and had a very nice cordial demeanor. His staff members up front were very nice, and efficient in their service.
Professional. confident, reassuring and caring.

The staff was kind and professional; Dr. Fox was excellent in his dealings with me. I recommend him to everyone! Thank you! ZocDoc is the best!
The staff was very professional. Dr. Fox was professional and courteous. The only suggestion I have is that when the office calls to confirm the appointment, they share the forms of payment they accept. Or list it on the website. I don't recall seeing it there. Otherwise overall great experience.
Loved it Nice, clean and a friendly atmosphere

Not very knowledgable esp for a MD
Great, he and his staff were very pleasant it was my first visit and I felt like I already knew everyone. It was painless and Dr. Fox was very thorough, I am looking forward to my next visit.
Verified patient
The doctor was very professional
Verified patient
He is a nice guy but can be cold at times. he is a man with few words i know some people don't like small talk or bad jokes during their visits. he would be perfect for those people
Verified patient
The office staff was very nice. I only had to wait a few minutes to be seen. While the doctor's professional bedside manner was fine, he seemed kind of cold, and unfriendly. If you like a doctor who seems to have an interest in you as a person, this is not the doc for you. On the other hand, if you just want to be treated, and be on your way he may be perfect. This is not a comment on his abilities, just a heads about his manner.
Very friendly and helpful.
everyone was so nice and professional. I left with an answer that I was happy with. Receptionist was very sweet and helpful. Thank you for a very good experience
Verified patient
Excellent
