I've been a patient of Dr. Josh Fox for over 20 years. He's the best; totally stellar skills and very pragmatic. He's always up-to-date on the New-New, in his field. In my opinion, he wrote the book on dermatology. What Dr. Fox has forgotten about dermatology, his competitors never ever even learned. He's my go-to guy. I recommend him highly!!!

Dr. Fox was patient and caring with me while treating a cist on my forehead. He removed it with a laser and it has been healing very well. I also had a scar which is barely noticeable which was treated with lasers. The office was very helpful and patient with me. Their was no wait time. Thank you for the excellent care!

I have never forgotten my experience with Dr. Fox. I received fraxel laser about 8 years ago and whereas it turned out very well everything else was a turn off. The man had dirt under his fingernails. It was disgusting. He was entirely dismissive and rude to the female staff and when I (female) would ask questions, he would respond to my father. Right when I was about to get surgery, a group of students came in and at the last minute he said "you don't mind if they watch, do you"? Some advanced noticed would have been nice. My mom (75) went in last year for a check up and he tried to hard sell her on laser surgery. This man doesn't seem to like or respect women. My Father used him to remove basel cells and he even commented how curt he was to a young nurse there. Seems to have a large ego and issue with women. My Dad agreed not to see him anymore.

The staff at this place is ok. I would not recommend this doctor for anyone, he came in and talked more than actually doing anything. The reason i came to see him, he DID NOT solve the problem but made it WORSE! I will NEVER come back here again. I waited 2 hours because "he's backed up", yeah backed up from not shutting up when seeing his patients.

I scheduled an appointment and showed up right on time. The receptionist asked me which doctor I was seeing and she promptly handed me a clipboard to sign in. 2 hours later I have still not seen Dr Fox so I go up to the front desk and ask what the holdup is. The receptionist looks at the clipboard and tells me I signed the wrong one, despite the fact that she had handed it to me. The icing on the cake, however, was after I finally saw Dr Fox for a total of ~20 minutes after waiting for 3 hours after my appointment time to see him. I had to schedule a follow up appointment. I request an early appointment. The receptionist tells me I can't make my appointment that early because I was, and I quote "very late for my appointment". I promptly walked out and have never returned since. Dr Fox was a nice man although somewhat dismissive of my questions but that by no means made up for the abysmal lack of communication and ineffective staff.
