Spent time answering my questions and showed a genuine concern for my knee
The man knows his stuff and may seem aloof at first but once you know him you can see what he keeps behind and that is a thoughtful caring man who care very much for each patient
Technically proficient but warm and considerate in guiding patients to making a decision appropriate to their age and circumstances.
Wow, this was an amazing visit. Service was outstanding.
Scott Mox is good to talk to, and I will now get the help I need because of the consultation I had with him. It was good to voice all my concerns and questions about hip replacements, as well as finding out that I can try steroid injections first before defaulting to full replacements. I would for sure recommend Dr. Mox.
Dr. Mox is the best. He thoroughly answers every question and always shows concern for the patient. I have seen him for fifteen years and will continue to as long as he is practicing.
He is great !
He explains everything very well and has a sense of humor that makes it a little easier to get through the worrying about the recovery.
Surgery worked well. All questions patiently answered.,
Very informative
