Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Fox and his staff made my experience enjoyable while there, especially for a procedure that can be very painful. They were on top of everything that needed to be done and did a great job and helped to ease my pain as
Much as possible and went above and beyond.

He is the best and oldest in United States for
Laser ; he is a spry older man and loves his work ; I have done several lasers with Dr Fox and have recommended him over 40 times to my family and friends ; and easily all look 10 years younger ; I thanked Dr Fox for not retiring …. But I also think he is funniest man I ever met ; and his decades of skill are only topped by his excellent sense of humor

With a wealth of knowledge spanning 4 decades, There’s literally nothing he hasn’t seen on skin before. A multi system approach, so that the individual is treated, not just the condition. An inherent ability to connect your skin to your whole person without separating it as a foreign entity and understanding the intricacies of your health and how it plays out on your skin, enables Dr. Fox to get to the root of the problem, instead of just treating the surface. If you are part of the auto immune population and need the right dermatologist he will find the best approach for your condition as well as the right diagnosis!

Disgusting. I was sitting up in the exam chair as he walked into the exam room, straight at me and his private hit my leg. It was no accident, he knew what he was doing.

The worst Dr. experience ever. I arrived on time as I always do for any Doctor appointment. Waited hrs in waiting room. Finally was brought into an exam room where another hour went by. Asked to use restroom when someone was in hall. En-route to restroom saw Dr. Fox and a few other Docs in the practice sitting around shooting the breeze in an office while throwing a ball around. Some had feet up on desk. No concern for patients waiting. Arrogant, immature and totally unprofessional. The Dr who finally came in to see me wasn’t even Dr. Fox. Never went back and would advise others to steer clear.

Dr. Fox is the type of doctor I wish all my doctors were like! His genuine caring nature and obvious desire to help made me feel at ease while having my procedure done! After treatment, my scar which I was extremely self conscious had vanished completely. My friends and family were in awe of the "new" me!

My teenage daughter felt uncomfortable with him! He didn’t really say anything useful we told him my daughter didn’t do well with benzoyl peroxide and he went ahead and prescribed it! Didn’t tell us anything about the meds he prescribed either!

Dr. Fox has been our family Dermatologist for a few years now, My son and I decided to remove some moles in our face and in other areas of our body. I always thought that it was a procedure only done by Plastic Surgeons and therefore it would be very expensive so we put it off for many years. Dr. Fox removed three moles I had in my face and he is also removing my sons. I am happy to say that it was a very simple, fast, painless and inexpensive procedure. Thank you Dr. Fox.
