Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments
Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Dr. Scott Hecox receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his exceptional bedside manner, professionalism, and clinical expertise. Patients frequently describe him as kind, caring, genuine, compassionate, and personable, noting that he makes them feel comfortable and never rushed during appointments. His communication skills are highly valued, with numerous reviews highlighting how he explains diagnoses and treatment options clearly in layman's terms, listens intently to patient concerns, and takes time to answer all questions thoroughly. Patients appreciate his efficiency and promptness, with many commenting on minimal wait times and quick, streamlined appointments. His surgical skills and ability to diagnose problems quickly are repeatedly commended, and many patients express complete trust in his care. The staff and office environment also receive consistent praise for being friendly, professional, and helpful.
Patients also share
A small number of reviews identify opportunities for improvement, primarily centered on appointment pacing and communication. Two patients felt rushed during their visits, with one noting the face-to-face time was less than five minutes and another feeling the doctor was hurrying to the next patient. A few reviews mention that Dr. Hecox could provide more detailed explanations of procedures before performing them, with one patient specifically noting they would have appreciated more discussion about an upcoming surgery. One patient experienced unexpected pain following steroid injections, though this appeared to be an isolated incident. Additionally, there was one scheduling issue mentioned where an initial appointment was delayed by three weeks, and one extremely negative review described the experience as horrible and the doctor as mean and heartless, though this stands in stark contrast to the overwhelming majority of feedback.
