Dr Cox had viewed my MRI of right knee before he entered and shared insights I had not heard previously. He was informative about my options and open to my goal of repairing knee and healing to be able-bodied again. He shared his insight regarding why he thought arthroscopic surgery would be successful with which I wholeheartedly agree. I feel very blessed to have obtained an appointment. Even though the surgery date is further out than I hoped, I see light at the end of this debilitated part of my journey.

I visited TOA for an additional opinion on my injury, and the care I received with Dr. Cox was far above and beyond the care and thoroughness I received at TOA. I am extremely appreciative of his attentiveness and ability to explain a complex scenario to me

Dr. Charles Cox III is a great orthopedic surgeon who isn't quick to do surgery. He spent a lot of time with me, trying to resolve the problem with healing. I really appreciate him and would highly recommend him to others. If I need to come back,I'd come back without hesitation.
