Board Certified
Dr. Fox is certified by the American Board
of Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons
(F.A.C.S.). This
is the highest recognition that your doctor has specialized
knowledge and training related to the pre-operative evaluation
and diagnosis, operative technical skills/ability and post operative
management of surgical problems. It is also just as important
to know when not to operate and treat with a medical nonsurgical
approach - some of the best surgery is nonsurgical! At the same
time, if an operation is indicated, good judgment is necessary
to recommend the appropriate operation for the individual that
will give the best results.
