Dr. James Bryan Cox, DO

I have been seeing Dr. Cox for 10 or more years. I have been reading reviews and have to say since he has his own practice his prescriptions go to pharmacy immediately. I had issues with him listening to me as well, in the beginning, and now I find him very tentative to my issues concerning medications and my treatments. I am pleased about his compassion towards my needs now. One of the things that he does that I like the most, he refers me to specialist when I have a chronic problem. I was going to another doctor very close by in Rutherford College, and he sometimes didn't treat me for a problem and would not send me to a specialist. I made my own decision to change doctors and get help for the problem I had an order for me to get better. Dr Cox always works with a patient for acute illnesses and for chronic problems once you have seen a specialist, if necessary. A family Dr. is for acute illnesses not chronic! Dr. Cox is very good at testing for illnesses when needed to clarify said sicknesses when symptoms show possible problems. He is a great geriatrics Dr. As I get older illnesses arise and Dr Cox is very through. I am very pleased with his plans of treatments now, as his patient. I never had to wait to see him more that 15 minutes total, waiting rooms and treatment room. His staff is great!

Where do I begin . . . Refills can take 5 to 10 days, no matter if you email the request, have the pharmacy to fax it over, or leave a message for assistant. Cox only wants you to answer his questionnaire, dont deviate from the questions, or he just continues to ask them louder. Not interested in listening to the patient regarding prescriptions choices, do not waste his time. He has a quota of patients to see, so don't slow him down.

Great MD who looks at the whole person at every visit, not just what the complaint is. Exceptional bedside manner. Very knowledgeable, but knows what he doesn't know.
