Patient Reviews
Jan 30, 2024
Dr. Dox saved my life. Need I say more? He is blunt and forthright with all possibilities of what you are facing but that was what I respected about him. He prayed with us before we went into surgery. God blessed his work and I came through. Quad bypass. 3 arteries 100% blocked and 1 was 80% blocked. He said only by the grace of God was I still alive.Thank you Dr. Dox. Words cannot express enough of how thankful am.
