Patients appreciate
Dr. Scott Hecox receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his exceptional bedside manner, professionalism, and genuine care for his patients. Reviewers frequently describe him as kind, compassionate, caring, and personable, with many noting that he makes patients feel comfortable and never rushed. Patients appreciate that he listens intently to their concerns, explains diagnoses and treatment options clearly in understandable terms, and takes time to answer all questions thoroughly. His efficiency is repeatedly commended, with many patients noting minimal wait times and quick, effective appointments. Dr. Hecox is described as knowledgeable and skilled, with numerous patients expressing complete trust and confidence in his medical expertise and surgical abilities. His ability to work well with children and elderly patients is specifically highlighted, and many reviewers note his warm smile and friendly demeanor that puts patients at ease.
Patients also share
A small number of reviews identify areas for potential improvement. Two patients felt Dr. Hecox seemed rushed or spent very limited face-to-face time with them, with one noting the visit lasted less than five minutes. One reviewer described a "horrible experience" and called him "mean and heartless," though this stands in stark contrast to the vast majority of feedback. A few patients mentioned that more detailed explanations of procedures before they occur would be helpful, with one noting the doctor didn't explain an upcoming surgery procedure. One patient experienced unexpected severe pain following shoulder injections, and another felt the doctor didn't do all he could. There was also one mention of a scheduling hiccup that delayed an appointment by three weeks.
