Everyone here is so sweet! Dr. Cox is my dentist, and he's always very kind and gentle. Candy, one of the ladies that works at the front desk, is always so welcoming, and I really appreciate that she actually knows who I am, out of all the patients that she sees. Great folks over at Duff & Cox.

The whole office is great. I too have been going to them forever, and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Almost impossible to miss an appointment with all their reminders. I used to be terrified of the dentist, and now, I hardly think about it. 2 thumbs up! Andy Bennett

I chose Dr. Cox as my dentist a few years ago and it was a very good choice I made. It has always been a good experience when I go there. The staff is very polite and helpful and makes you feel like you are not a stranger. I appreciate Dr. Cox and his staff. I give them 10 stars instead of 5. Don Landry

I had a hard time finding a dentist that worked for me. Dr. Duff and the whole operation make going to the dentist as great an experience as possible. They are flexible, friendly an honest.

My having been a patient of Dr. Cox for the past 30 years probably says it all. Can't imagine going to anyone else. The office is full of friendly, professional people. I've never had a complaint about any of my visits there.....and there have been way too many to count at this point! If you are looking for an excellent dentist you should consider this Practice.

I have been a patient of Dr. Duff for quite a few years - best dentist I have ever had (and I am senior citizen, so I have had a few!). I have never been kept waiting past an appointment time, and Dr. Duff even met me at the office early one morning when I had a problem after a tooth extraction. I highly recommend the office to all.

A friend recommended Dr Duff when we moved here 4 years ago. WOW! Never thought we'd be raving about a dentist but these are the best people- friendly, professional and will do whatever they can to make your visit go smoothly. It is so refreshing to have a dentist who treats you like a person and explains what he is doing and why. Have had to call them for dental "emergencies" and they did what was needed to get me in ASAP and took care of me. Everyone in the office is so nice and friendly; if you have fears about going to the dentist, go see Dr Duff- you'll be glad you did!.

Our family has been going to Dr Duff & Cox Ltd for about 32 years. That is a LONG time! Our grown children were going when they were still in carriers, and now one of my daughters takes her son. That is a testament to good treatment! In general, I have always been afraid of the dentist, but they understand and work with me. My children, on the other hand, do not have this fear. Keep up the good work!

As usual Kathy did a great job. She does a great job cleaning my teeth without causing any pain! Dr. Rob is wonderful and has provided great care for our whole family over the years! Having the two of them for my dental professionals - I can't imagine why anyone would fear going to the Dentist.

I've been a patient of both dentists for some 30 years and highly recommend their services. Doctors Duff and Cox are highly competent, gentle (a big plus for me), affable, and kind. The staff is equally so.
