    I appreciated that Dr. Cox listened to a concern we had and reassured me that if I wanted or didn't want to choose something, I was able to do so. It felt freeing to be able to voice my concerns without feeling brushed aside or dismissed. I'm also grateful for a more open dialogue for choosing treatment options. It helps me stay informed, while having options to choose what's best for my body and health. I also appreciate Dr. Cox's professionalism and knowledge, yet still friendly and encouraging atmosphere he brings! Also, the Team was friendly and professional!
