Patient Reviews
Oct 09, 2023
After many test it was confirmed that I had breast cancer in 2018. It didn't take me long to figure out that Dr Charles Cox was the surgeon for me. As he is known for many innovations and inventions in breast cancer. And he is known world wide for his techniques. As people come from all over just to see him. I had several visits with him at first because he wanted to make sure I was well informed. While making my decision for a mastectomy, he educated me on all my options. And my husband was by my side trying to educate himself too. Dr Cox cried with me as though I was a family member. Very compassionate, caring & sincere. My surgeries including reconstruction began in October 2018 thru April 2019. Surgery revealed that my cancer had spread to the other side. Therefore, a great choice of bilateral mastectomy. No chemo, no radiation or pills necessary. It looks as tho I had no surgery! Pre-op & sanitation was extremely thorough. He is the best surgeon around. He's #1 with no doubt!
