This wonderful, warm Dr. sat next to me and explained everything so I could understand it. Dr Cox took her time with me, she drew pictures to show me everything that was going on and what she was going to do. Dr. Cox tells you how it is in the most compassionate way. I felt very cared for.

I highly recommend Dr. Cox and going forward should I do mastectomy she will be my surgeon hands down!" -Deborah
