Dr. Joyce N Fox

Kindness Doctor I’ve ever met. She does not just see you in the office, but checks up on you at least once. Five days after last visit, she still check up on me, concerned about my BP which has been extremely elevated. Dr Fox is a rare lady, who really cares about the well being of her patients.

Been going to Dr. Fox for years and she's great - very meticulous. Entire office is easy to work with and get me in quickly.

1 Star for correctly diagnosing my condition. 1 Star for very nice office & front desk. 0 Stars for her harmful & ineffective treatment plan. I went to Dr. Fox with a mild case of Lichen Planus. She prescribed Prednisone. Look up Prednisone and its side effects, just for fun :) It's nasty stuff. My immune system was devastated from taking it. My point: never take prednisone unless you're in a very dire situation. It thins the skin on your entire body, including your eyes, causing cataracts later in life. The cherry on top is that it only slightly cleared up my skin condition, which then came back even worse. I couldn't bear another round of that horrible drug, so I went to another derm who gave me a topical cream to use for 10 days, and then told me to get as much SUN as I could for 2 weeks. He told me prednisone was a "Last Resort" for people who are literally COVERED in bumps. I only had a few pustules around my wrists, ankles and legs. He also said that UV light therapy is the only known actual cure for Lichen Planus. So, I took a trip to Oahu and laid out on the beach several hours a day with sunscreen everywhere but on the pustules. Like a MIRACLE, these hideous red sores are GONE FROM MY BODY!!!! I can go to the spa again without feeling like people are staring. I can get massages and pedicures again without having to explain to people that I'm not contagious. I never again have to tell people that "no I haven't been bitten by a dozen spiders". I'm sure Dr. Fox has done a good job with other people in other areas of dermatology, but if you have Lichen Planus, I'm not a doctor, but why not try a corticosterioid cream on the bumps and take a vacation somewhere sunny :) 1 Star for correctly diagnosing my condition. 1 Star for very nice office & front desk. 0 Stars for her harmful & ineffective treatment plan. … More

Very bad doctor. I had to wait for an hour to be ushered in when in fact I arrived on time for my appointment. Then, I had to wait for another 20 minutes in the waiting room. When she finally came, she looked at my infected eyelids and prescribed another prescription that cost me over $100.00 in co-pay. She said she was going to give me a sample cream but she didn't. No explanation for the cause of my itchy and irritated eyelids. Then, she billed me over $300.00. Avoid this "Doctor" at all cost.

Dr Fox is an excellent doctor and a lovely person. I have pale skin and am therefore at risk for skin cancer. I go to Dr Fox for my annual skin checkups, and nothing escapes her eagle eye. She spots lesions I was not even aware of, and gets rid of them swiftly, painlessly and efficiently. She listens to my concerns and explains everything. She, and everyone in her office, is very kind and courteous. I recommend Dr Fox very highly.

Very sweet and accommodating MD. I used to see her when I lived in LA - now I live in the OC and definitely miss seeing her!!!

She was very warm, thorough and laughed at my jokes. Made me feel comfortable.
