Dr. Cox will look at you like he’s listening but in reality he’s off in LaLa Land and has no idea of anything you just said??

Didn't really ask appropriate questions. Everything he said was very confusing; I felt like I was being manipulated. We never focused on my anxiety, which I didn't notice until after I left.

I have only good things to say about Dr. Cox. He is thoughtful and compassionate, timely, really great with refilling meds, returns calls promptly. Pinnacle is a busy office, but I have never felt overlooked or uncomfortable.

The reviewer has disclosed him/herself as an individual referred to me for evaluation of a workers comp or disability claim. By design and consent, IMEs are not for treatment purposes, and readers contemplating treatment should not base their decisions on such reviews.
