Brief Intro

Dr. Robert I Fox's exceptionally brilliant knowledge base and tender heart provide an uncompromised standard of personalized care that is rare in the current medical arena, and our office staff is friendly, efficient, professional and responsive to our patients' needs (you will not encounter an automated \"phone tree\" reaching our office). Dr. Fox's \"OLD SCHOOL\" philosophy coupled with his keen diagnostic skills take the TIME necessary to thoroughly, precisely, and accurately evaluate and diagnose even the most complex condition and provide thoughtful, cost-effective treatment recommendations that successfully achieve optimal clinical outcomes and promote the highest quality of life possible for every patient. He will even research and provide patients with the means to obtain medicines in the least-costy way possible that is little known by the public. He cares for patients with highly complicated conditions, some who may have been to many doctors, and are referred to Dr. Fox for the ANSWER and the SOLUTION. He treats everyone as we would wish ourselves and families to be cared for, with dignity, compassion and respect. He makes himself accessible to his patients and commonly communicates DIRECTLY through email 7 days a week to address medical concerns in a timely manner. Our patients feel listened to and valued, and we empower them by providing patient teaching and informational resources at the conclusion of office visits, so they can understand and be advocates for their care. Our average new patient consultation is ONE HOUR, and office follow-up REVISITS a HALF-HOUR, so that the patient is listened to and not rushed. THAT IS WHY WE CANNOT ACCEPT INSURANCE THAT ONLY COVERS A 10-MINUTE VISIT. WE ARE NOT A \"CONCIERGE\" PRACTICE AND DO NOT REQUIRE UPFRONT RETAINERS, and EVERY PATIENT receives this uncompromised level of care. Dr. Fox refuses to be rushed with a patient to satisfy an insurance company. DR. FOX GOES THE EXTRA MILE IN A MULTITUDE OF WAYS FOR HIS PATIENTS, that has resulted in many saved lives, thus, he is revered by his patients.
