Why patients love Dr. Cox
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Cox and Tyler! I have always been afraid of the dentist due to past experiences with pain, and this visit was PAIN FREE (mind you my appointment was for a crown!) Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new dentist!

Dr Cox was very busy today, so our visit took a little longer. He was very good to tell me how long everything would take and when I took the time to check him, he was under the time he had stated. I was very impressed.
