    Dr. Cox explained everything clearly. He not only answered all my questions, he explained new procedures that I was wondering about, because I had heard about alternatives to open heart surgery.

    I've been working with Dr.Cox for five years now and he is always incredibly kind. He takes the time to explain proper care and next steps as well as being very patient with mine and my husband's questions. He is a phenomenal doctor and I encourage anyone with a heart condition to seek his medical attention.
