"Dr. Cox Is absolutely awesome. He was very professional and informative. He went over every step in great detail and told me exactly what to expect and what I had to do as well. His staff is wonderful. They are there if you have any questions or concerns and are more than helpful...They are very supportive. I was a high risk due to my history of respiratory failure but Dr. Cox sent me to see the vascular surgeon..Dr. Kiell and he put in a greenfield sleeve as a precaution. I would highly reccommend Dr. Cox to anyone interested in WLS. He is very professional, very informative, with a great big heart and a super bedside manner. I thank God for bringing Dr. Cox and the WLS staff into my life. My life has changed so much since my surgery May 23, 2006. Dr. Cox had no problem accepting me with Medicare and I am so thankful that there are doctors like him and Dr. Cook who care enough about obesity to give people like me a chance at a longer, healthier life. God, Dr. Douglas Schultz (my PCP) Robin Webster, Dr. Jeff Smith, Hickory Surgical, The WLS staff, Dr. Kiell, Dr.Monty Cox and my friend Taren Beck, my family and my sweetheart are all the reasons I am alive, happy, and healthier than I have been in years. Thanks to each and every one of you. Dr. Cox \"YOU ROCK IN MY BOOK\" Hickory Surgical is the best place for WLS. The Hospital...(Frye Regional Medical Center is super. Everyone ther treated me so good. Thank you for giving me my life back!!! God bless you all, Sarah W."
