Dr. Fox is amazing. I previously had a surgery for endometriosis with no success. After my surgery with Dr. Fox the pain was gone.

Dr. Fox is not personable at all. It's possible he may be smart but I don't believe he likes people or even life. In such a difficult situation my husband and I have been going through we expected a dr in his field to show love and concern. I felt he was not interested by any means in trying to help us get pregnant. Infertility is such a sensitive subject but it makes it worse when an awful human being is over your treatment. We went to multiple appointments bc we realize its ok to have bad days but nope he's just an awful person. We will not be returning. Personally I believe his parents forced him to go to school to be a Dr and he is unhappy about following their dreams and not his own.

Dr Fox is a genius. I love his staff as well, seeing Dr Fox changed my life and saved it. He was so kind and knowledgable. He does believe in the low carb lifestyle but after listening to him and doing your own research I was on board and believed it and live it to this day. I found out I have reactive hypoglycemia and I had endometriosis which I had surgery for and it was fixed. I have had PCOS since I was 12 and never though I was going to be able to have children. With Dr Fox I was able to lose weight which I have always had trouble doing and my treatments for ovulation I was able to conceive my daughter. Without him that probably wouldn't have been possible. You have to have an open mind when you go in the office and not be so quick to judge he is kind of quiet but I loved seeing him! If I still lived there I would be seeing him again.

Dr. Fox is incredible! His compassionate manner and knowledge of infertility was very encouraging. His total body approach to understanding all the factors that are important for conception has made a difference in my life. I strongly emcourage you to make an appointment for consultation.

I went to Dr. Fox for treatment of possible endometriosis. He wasn't thorough at all. If I hadn't asked any questions I would have left there knowing nothing. He forgot to write my prescription and when I asked him if my generic birth control pill could have been the cause of my break through bleeding (as suggested by his ARNP), he acted surprised when I told him what I was taking like he had never read my chart. He recommended laparoscopic surgery, but told me nothing about the procedure. His personality and bedside manner are very dry and off-putting. His surgery scheduler couldn't get my insurance information straight and told me it was only going to cover $75 for the surgery when I had already spoken to my insurance and was told they will everything minus my 10% coinsurance. I made her call my insurance back and she finally figured it out. I am now researching other physicians because I don't feel comfortable with Dr. Fox.

Husband & I saw Dr. Fox for couples infertility work-up. First appointment went ok- he spent a good amount of time with us asking about our history. Very dry bedside manner, but it seemed like he was being thorough. Fast forward several appointments & a bunch of tests later, I was miserable. I weighed 120lbs and he said I was overweight and my blood work was awful & if I didn't adhere to his NO CARB diet I would end up with diabetes, heart disease and no baby. Basically, saying that it was my eating habits that have kept me from being pregnant. Said he "suspected" PCOS and endometriosis, but wasn't sure about either. He made his recommendation. They called me the next day to set up my treatment. I finally got someone on the phone that would stop and talk prices with me. I said we couldn't afford the total right now- especially for 3 cycles in a row. She said, "ok, well, call us back when you have the money". That was it. I've since gotten my records and am researching another doctor.

The staff and office were wonderful. However, Dr. Fox himself I felt treated me very harshly. I am 5'4 and 185lbs. We went to his office because we'd been having trouble conceiving but found out at the first appointment I was pregant! Although his staff was very nice Dr. Fox told me that since I was overweight I would most likely lose this child (our first) and if not I WOULD have complications. He recomended I not eat ANY carbs or sugars of any kind. He gave me a list of foods to avoid that included things like ALL fruits (even fresh), veggies high in carbs, juice of any kind, any breads (including whole grain breads), ect. His words and attitude scared me and my husband and I beleive some of these suggestions were very unreasonable. I ignored his diet advice and ate plenty of fruits and veggies during my pregnancy, had no complications, and have a healthy baby boy.
