Henry B. Fox, MD

About a year ago I decided to try to get myself back in shape. Which is not an easy undertaking since I’m in my 50’s. On the recommendation of a friend I went to see Doctor Fox, and I’ve very glad I did.
He gave me a thorough physical and then scheduled a second appointment so that we could discuss the lab results after they were completed. We discussed the results and my concerns and he was very patient in listening to my worries, offering his professional observations, and discussing possible ways to approach my problems. Since I’m in my fifties, he referred me to some other specialists in the downtown DC area for some additional tests and screening and then followed up with me about the results.
I still have a ways to go, but I’ve very glad that I’d had the opportunity to meet Dr. Fox and to work with him. To be honest, I was dreading having to deal with my physical issues. And although it hasn’t been easy, Dr. Fox has been patient and sympathetic as I’ve worked through my issues and at least started on the road back to good health. And he is an easy going person so I didn’t feel nervous in raising my problems or worries when meeting with him.
I have always found his office staff to be very pleasant, polite, and easy to deal with. And his medical technicians in particular are just very nice people and go out of their way to put you at ease during blood draws and tests.
One final thing I’d like to share, we recently had a late season snow storm hit the DC area and my appointment with Dr. Fox was scheduled for the morning of the storm. He called me — that’s right, the doctor called me — to see if I wanted to change my appointment so as to avoid coming out in the storm. When is the last time you heard of a doctor personally handling his appointments to help patients deal with bad weather? Pretty unusual right, but I want to include that here just because I think it’s a good indication of the dedicated physician that Dr. Fox really is.
So if you’re in need of a good doctor, I would recommend him without hesitation.
