Dr. Cox and his staff are AMAZING!!! He has been our vet for a lot of years!!! He loves what he does and that has always reflected in the care and well being of all of our animals throughout the years. Love Ya' Bunches!!! 🥰

They did a very great job with my cat. I brought him in for an emergency. They brought him straight in. Medication and he's doing great! He has high blood pressure. I just want to add this because he lost his sight from this. So please have your pet checked. It's very fatal in cats which was new to me.

My mother used Dr. Cox for many, many years and was so very happy with him. I originally called when I found my kittens, at approximately 3 weeks old, and tried to get an appointment, only to be told that they were booked months out and that I should look elsewhere, which I did. I thought I would try again when my kittens were about 10 months old wanting to get set up, as a new patient, for their annual check ups. I was told that I needed to wait and call back about two months prior to the anniversary of their original rabies vaccination (July 2021), because they would be due for their next round of shots, so I set a reminder to call again in May. When I called at the beginning of May I was told that they were not accepting new patients because of summer coming, vacations and the like. I tried to explain that I wanted an appointment several months down the road, but was still not allowed to make a future appointment. They don't need or want my business, I'm done trying.

Office staff, Sharon and Shelly, are very friendly and caring. They were able to fit me in at the last minute. Dr. Cox was very attentive as I explained my dog’s issues. He prescribed the proper meds which relieved some of his issues and I was charged a very fair price as a new patient. Will definitely going back. Thank you

I moved to the area about 6 months ago. I needed to find a new vet for my 3 dogs, but I’m very particular because one of my dogs has anxiety issues around people he doesn’t know (he’s a rescue with a long story) I decided on Dr. Cox because after reading his professional profile, education, client reviews and his experience, I thought he would be able to provide me with what I need as a dog mom, and provide my dogs what they need. —Good choice! The staff there are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Cox is an amazing Vet. He came into the exam room and my dog immediately had a panic attack. Dr. Cox knew exactly how to handle him without any help from me, he already knew what we were there for (a lump) and spotted it from across the room. Within a few minutes he had my dogs confidence and was able to take my dog to another room for further examination. He returned and gave me a full review, in easy to understand terminology, without elaborate treatment options or creating unnecessary fear. I really felt he cared about my dog, and I think my dog felt the same.... the dog knows. ***** 5 stars
