    Dr. Lindy Fox is an excellent physician. Over the years that I've seen her, she has helped me in every possible way. She is as caring and kind as she is astute in her judgement about what she sees reflected in my skin problems; as a result she prescribes medications that are helpful. I very much appreciate all she does for me, time and time again.

    Dr Fox is very efficient and detailed in her exams. She listens and truly cares for the patient
    Nov 07, 2023
    Dr. Fox called me "my friend" over and over. This means she did not know my name. That's okay, as she was very busy, but maybe a bit more effort could be made. I felt I was in the hands of a very good doctor, but there was not much of an attempt to describe what was going on with various skin growths. I had to ask.
    Nov 02, 2023
    Did the bare minimum. Only wanted to deal with one issue. Was in the room about 4 minutes. Clearly didn't have time for any non cancer issues

    Dr. Fox is great; very professional, thorough and pleasant.
    Oct 20, 2023
    I don't feel I participated in a "discussion." Providers did tell me what they were doing at the moment---I had to ask what a "biopsy" entailed, and was never told about the possible outcome of the test. The whole experience felt rushed; without space for thoughtful questions or responses. I'm concerned that that is our health system--and it needs to be changed
    Sep 29, 2023
    Excellent
    Sep 22, 2023
    I have no reservations at all about recommending my doctor; however, I would have to mention the wait times, which have always been an issue but have gotten worse after the pandemic.
    Sep 20, 2023
    My only hesitation in recommending this provider is the difficulty in securing an appt

    Dr. Fox was phenomenal! She was professional, friendly, answered my questions and calmed my anxiety. My situation was urgent and Dr. Fox put my mind at ease that my spreading eczema will be ok. She assured me the plan us to take care of the current situation and once healed the care plan will be to get to the root cause. And for that I am truly and sincerely thankful! I completely appreciate Dr. Fox!

    Dr Fox was very kind and friendly. She was very proficient and thorough with my skin exam. I felt very comfortable and at ease. This was the very first time I had a complete skin exam to look for possible cancer. I was relieved that Dr Fox didn't find any cancer. I found this to be a very positive experience.

    Dr. Fox is a brilliant doctor and always a true professional. I recommended her again yesterday to someone. Best doctor I have ever had.
    Jun 02, 2023
    I'm sure Dr. Fox is very knowledgeable in her field. But when I ask questions, I don't feel she's really listening to me. I wait several months for an appointment, I travel two hours each way to see her, and I'm only given about five minutes. I had a question about a skin condition and she didn't even look at it before telling me what she thought it was and hurriedly moving on.
    May 23, 2023
    I am so lucky to have Dr Fox a brilliant clinician and caring physician

    Lindy Fox was great.
    Apr 20, 2023
    It was late in the day and the appointment felt rushed. I had never had a mole check and there was no information afterwards telling me what to look for next time so I don't waste anyone's time. One mole she didn't even appear to even look at. I am confident in her ability to assess my situation but she was definitely short on time.
    Mar 30, 2023
    Superb physician.

    Nov 30, 2022
    She is efficient yet personable. I always appreciate her care and concern. Very reassuring and communicative physician.
    Nov 29, 2022
    The care provider made me wait over 20 minutes the assistant closed the door to the room and did not tell me the provider was running late when I opened the door the provider said she would be with me shortly but took her time to come and treat me.

    Dr. Fox was the best. I was referred to Dr. Fox by my sister for a dermatitis issue on my right breast. I appreciated how patient, kind and thorough she was to help me diagnose the issue (that had been ongoing for 3 years) and to validate a previous skin biopsy. She went above and beyond to resolve my issue. I am so appreciative for her expertise and help.
