I think Dr. Box is absolutely fantastic. He was recommended to me by my physical therapist and, well, I can't say enough about him. Unfortunately, since I first saw him, my insurance has changed and will no longer cover Dr. Box. That was extremely frustrating to me. But that's the way it is. I'm sure Dr. Box will give me a good referral.

Dr Box displayed and explained the X-ray imagen to me clearly in detalle. There was nothing visible, that could explain the pain in my knees and why I have these painful difficulties to get up from a sitting to a standing position. He suggested exercises to strengthen my muscels. At present, I do not know how to accomplish this. Getting up is not easy, onc

Dr. Box was great, articulate, thorough, informative and caring. He ordered an additional X-ray and offered to order mri to get a whole look at the area in question. I did send a follow up email later in the day and a staff member suggested I go to another doctor which differed from my conversation with Dr. Box however Dr. Box called and was most helpful.
