That there is very good attention.
Not happy and would rather have stayed within Texas children's after the fiasco we had during our hospital stay. This visit was just a follow up visit and I'm being told yeah all the paperwork is completed and yet I'm still having to call everyone to obtain the forms and letters only to find out everyone has lost them. No one seems to know what they're doing and it's like we're only numbers instead of humans.
We had a great experience. No complaints!
Nothing, it was very good. Good care for my son, explained everything clearly for my son, very professionally. They're very kind around here.
The problem was not Dr. Cox, the provider himself, it was the person who performed the quick procedure on my son's repairing of his central line that they seemed not very prepared and needed lots of other items that they didn't have as well as they did not know how to put the bio patch on the correct way and delayed putting a patch back over. They ripped the dressing off without any kind of adhesive remover which made my son very red and patchy for a couple days. So with those few things, we are a little disappointed in the care of our son. If anybody would like any more feedback or more
The staff is beyond professional. They treated us with the most respect and warmth.
Everyone, including the front staff, all the way to the doctor, were very nice, you know, asked a lot of questions, how they could help. And then the doctor especially took time to listen and explain everything and, you know, really made us feel comfortable. So it was a great experience from beginning to end. Everyone there did such a great job. So thank you.
Thank you Dr. Cox and Staff everyone is amazing
My daughter has been seen and receiving treatment for the past 15 years by doctor Cox and we have always received the best of care in every way possibly by him and his staff. He truly cares about his patients and I am grateful for all he has done for my child.
Hello, everything is great. [...]Thank you.
I waited 45 minutes to be able to speak with the doctor, which is not nice. Secondly, when I first dialed in the medical assistant or somebody that took, I pinged asking where the doctor was, would he be joining? And then this person joined the call. They wanted to make sure that they could see me on video. And then they were asking me personal questions about my weight, my medical history, my, any allergies, any medications I take. And I had to repeat more than one time, why is this relevant? I am not the actual patient. Well, who is? My son, what's his birthday? He's not born yet. So it was a little frustrating on my part.
Dr.Cox was prompt to come in office for our appointment. He voiced his concerns and it was appreciated. Great doctor since day one.
Provider must be of same gender as of patient. Or Option should have been provided
