Cox Brian, MD

I am 8 days post op having breast augmentation and tummy tuck. Luckily, I am in great physical condition so, Dr. Cox didn’t have to do any work on my abdominal muscles and because of weight lifting, we decided to put the implants over the muscle. I am so happy with the results. I have not been in any pain since day one!!! Just a little uncomfortable, but no pain. Even with the little swelling, I look fabulous. Dr. Cox, Veronica, and the rest of the staff are all amazing. Veronica has responded in a very timely manor to every email I have sent. She has been such a great source of comfort pre op when I was nervous about going under the knife. She has been like an old friend there for me every time I needed her. Every time I go in to the office, I am welcomed warmly and they remember me. I don’t feel like a number or dollar sign. I lost 120 pounds with diet and exercise. I’m also 45 years old. I had a lot of excess skin and nothing left in the breast. I changed my life and exercise and being athletic is very important to me. I am also an ER RN. I live 4 hours away from Dr. Cox’s office. He was highly recommended by an anesthesiologist friend of mine. I went to many plastic surgeons in my area. None of them listened to my needs, wants, and lifestyle. If I would have went to them, I would never have been able to follow my passions after surgery. Dr. Cox listened to me. He individualized my treatment to me. As far as I am concerned, Dr Cox, Veronica, and the whole staff are a god send. Going to anyone else would be foolish. You couldn’t pay me to go anywhere else! I love my new body and for the first time ever I feel absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Dr. Cox and Veronica!!!

Dr Cox is amazing! I have known him for 11 years. He was my plastic surgeon when I had breast cancer and did a fantastic job. He is so professional and kind. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! The only complaint I have is his secretary Veronica. I went to make a follow up appointment with him recently for an ER visit I had an she discouraged me in coming in. But is far as Dr Cox he is fantastic !!

This review is way overdue but I really felt compelled to write this and make sure that anyone who is searching for a plastic surgeon knows about Dr. Cox.
After 2 back-​to-​back c-​sections in 2011 and 2012, I ended up with a severe rectis diastasis (abdominal separation) and three hernias. I was experiencing low back pain and became easily fatigued. As an occupational therapist who works with clients recovering from a variety of neurological and orthopedic conditions, I rely on my body in order to effectively do my job. Unfortunately, my performance at work began to suffer as I would get tired more easily and I found myself being unable to sustain certain positions for long periods of time without fatiguing. I was truly at a loss and desperate to correct my condition in order to preserve my career and ability to work as well as avoid long-​term disability.
Meeting Dr. Cox in 2013 was truly a blessing and an answer to my prayers. During the initial consultation, he was immediately able to confirm my diagnosis. He was extremely personable, gentle, reassuring and very wise. Most of all, he was very compassionate. My insurance would only cover the hernia surgeries but not the rectis diastasis. I was hesitant about getting any of the surgeries done because of the cost. Knowing that all of these surgeries were necessary, Dr. Cox made it possible for me to get the surgeries done at a rate that was affordable. I was extremely touched by his generosity, compassion, kindness and sincere desire for me to just come in and get the surgeries done so that I would be able to continue my work.
I am so thankful for Dr. Cox and his skilled hands. Since having the surgery, I have been able to resume working 100% and no longer experience any low back pain or fatigue.
Veronica, Dr. Cox’s assistant, was also amazing and super supportive throughout the entire process. She always responded to my e-​mails and phone calls and conducted herself in a very professional but personable manner also. When I was trying to figure out insurance issues after I was first diagnosed, she was so helpful and patient and even offered different suggestions on how to go about pursuing coverage.
I was so impressed and touched by Dr. Cox and Veronica’s services that I even ended up recommending him to my neighbor who also ended up needing a similar surgical procedure.
Thank you Dr. Cox for everything! You truly are the best! May God continue to bless your healing hands in all that you do!

Great guy, great cut & paste, great surgeon!
Dr. Cox and my family go back a long time. About twenty years ago he had to reconnect abdominal muscle and do scar revision for my daughter. As an infant she had several abdominal surgeries. At about eight years old she was having abdominal issues. Dr Cox was going to do the revision and he suspected muscle issues. She did and is doing great.
My wife had a melanoma worked on by Cox and now I after several years with a dolphin bump (lipoma on the front of my head top) is finally removed. Looks great! Feels great and all is well.
But let me also give some feedback on staff — first a caveat — I am not related to anyone in this office, I don’t know anyone related to anyone in this office and not a single one of them socialize with me or I with them. So with that said Every single person was warm, caring, comforting, accommodating, friendly and of course professional.
I have read the reviews and I have to say I think Veronica is very professional and I found very caring. I’m sorry others may have misread her, but she really helped all along. Frankly, I think she’s the brains of the operation. Okay, maybe a stretch, but when you witness all she does, she’s running the show. It’s a good thing Cox is the brilliant surgeon he is because Veronica keeps all the plates spinning in the air for him. As all the staff does.
The Downside– they need some new digs! The office can use an update… but wait, it’s happening in a couple of weeks! So if they are on schedule, as staff told me, new offices in a few weeks.
The surgery center folks were exceptional! Who needs Beverly Hills when Pasadena has Cox and friends!

i actually don’t want to review Dr. Cox… he is the best no doubt in my mind… but my review is mainly intended for his office assistant… Veronica… as far as i am concerned she is an angel… my wife had surgery and had some urgent needs to our surprise Veronica went out of her way in the middle of the night to ensure that my wife was safe and taken care of … amazing… what a human being… it definitely touched us … this kindness is rarely experienced these days…

My son went to Dr. Cox several years ago for minor surgery. We revisited Dr. Cox’s ofc a few weeks and was greeted warmly in a professional manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Cox, he is a wonderful surgeon and you get great results. He is as good as it gets!

Dr Cox did the reconstruction after my surgery for breast cancer. He is a wonderful and exacting surgeon, as well as an incredibly kind and considerate person. From the beginning he gave me confidence and realistic expectations about reconstruction.
His entire staff is very upbeat and helpful, particularly his assistant Veronica who covers many directions with grace and good humor. Because I was coordinating with the oncological surgeon and plastic surgeon, I had a lot of questions. On several occasions Veronica took her time to return my calls and answer my questions in a direct and honest manner.
They are a very busy office, but Dr Cox and his staff still go out of their way to take excellent care of each patient.

The BEST Dr out there! His staff is wonderful! Dr. Cox never makes you feel rushed! He cares for his Patients and it shows with the results! Hands down Dr. Cox is THE-​MUST-​SEE-​DR!

Disappointing experience. Tried to make an appointment. No one called back. Long unnecessary paperwork to even consult. I simply wanted to meet and see if this doctor was a good match for me.

I am a BIG fan of Dr. Cox and recommend him without reservation. He is not only an outstanding surgeon, but a kind person who is extremely down-​to-​earth.
He will take as much time as you need to thoroughly explain your procedure, the recovery process, and potential side effects. He pays close attention to your questions and concerns and does as much as he can to make you feel at ease.
I have had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Cox, his surgical staff and the front office staff and if I would not hesitate to go back to him if I needed to. (Which I actually hope isn’t any time soon.)

I was introduced to Dr. Cox by a referral from my one of my cancer doctors. That referral has been my one of the things that has saved my life. Since Dr. Cox was the one that found my second occurrence of cancer, this enabled me to seek help right away to get it removed. He doesn’t treat me like a patient; he always treats me like a friend (family). My first encounter with his office was with Veronica, who called me and made arrangements with me for all our visits, sessions and is there for all my office visits. She is a wonderful person who makes you feel welcome and comfortable while you are there. She is a staple in that office and really helps run the place efficiently and successfully. Dr. Cox has a hand on approach and is a wonderful doctor and wonderful person who has been able to help me look normal after a double mastectomy. I can’t thank him enough for all him work, compassion and understanding he’s had on this matter.

My wife had surgery here. His assistant Veronica is the best. She returned calls and emails at all hours of the day and night. She called in prescriptions and helped with insurance. Dr. Cox is super helpful and caring. Overall the results were fantastic and we highly recommend this doctor and facility.

Dr. Cox (My new favorite Doctor) is great. He is very down to earth and listens as well as clearly answering questions. He and his amazing assistant Veronica (best reached via email) went a few extra miles to get my HMO to cover surgery that is not normally covered by them. As mentioned prior, Veronica can be hard to get a hold of but it is because they are swamped, Dr. Cox is in demand. I have heard back from her quickly every time I emailed.
When you go in on consultation day, expect a looong wait. Bring a book, they don’t have free wifi. Any other appointment will be great though. I was terrified after surgery, feeling miserable, that I’d be sitting there for a couple hours. But that isn’t the case. I believe they squeeze all those consultations into one day so they can provide quality attention to the post-​op people.
THANKS Dr. COX!!! I luv U!

I am a fan of Dr Brian Cox and his entire staff at Premier Plastic Surgery. After losing a ton of weight from gastric bypass surgery almost two years prior, I elected to have Dr. Cox remove some excess skin around my waist. He took the time to explain all the options and his staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable during the process. Veronica took her time to walk me step by step through the insurance authorization and made sure we had all the necessary requirements.
I feel comfortable recommending him and his staff to my family and friends.

Dr. Cox needs to hire a new scheduler.
My review is based on Dr. Cox’s office staff (namely, Veronica), not Dr. Cox.
I was referred by my primary physician to see Dr. Cox.
I left 4 messages over 2 days with Veronica, Dr. Cox’s scheduler, and she has not bothered to return any of my calls.
According to the other office staff, she is just too busy.
I have no doubt that Dr. Cox is an AMAZING doctor.
My son had some work done 10 years ago and we were very pleased with his work.
I hope Dr. Cox realises that his scheduler is turning away a lot of potential patients
with Veronica’s nonchalant attitude.

If you’ve read my experience with Huntington Hospital… you will know that Dr Cox was the doctor that took care of me in the ER at Huntington Memorial Hospital. Very attentive, caring, skilled, good sense of humor… i’m grateful he was there when i came into ER… he literally saved the tip of my finger.
I had followup care nearby at his office for around a month… until my finger was ready to have the stiches removed. Initially he gave me ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance that it would take… meaning there was a slight chance i wouldnt loose the tip of my finger…
He is the best… feel so fortunate he was there when i needed him… because as i was healing it looked like frost bite and others would not even attempt it i feel… was a waste of time… my friend and the docs that i work with didnt see how it would take… you really need someone like Dr Cox who will try even though the chances are slim… miracles do happen… thanks doc. :)

He’s the best! Good physician and very caring.
