Dr. Hux Reviews
Based on: 2 reviews -Add review
I got an appointment when I needed one.
They kept things moving and on time during my visit.
I received a correct diagnosis and up-to-date treatment.
I was given specific advice on lifestyle changes I can make to improve my health.
The provider really listened, gave me the time I needed, and put me at ease.
We discussed treatment options and choices I have.
The provider addressed traditional and alternative medicine treatment options in an open-minded way.

Rude, contradictory, patronizing. Rescheduled my appointment FIVE times (while I was off work and had to continually r...eport to HR WHY I hadn't seen him yet) for PERSONAL reasons. Told me initially that I had too many epidurals to consider surgery then (after waiting 6 weeks to see him) told me I needed to "just get another epidural". more details

I wouldn't send my worst enemies to this dr. He didn't care about my concerns, talked over me (rudely) didn't act conce...rned about my pain, blamed my smoking and a 9 yr accident for my recent severe back pain (due to a fall 6 mth ago), gave 4 different answers for 1 question asked 4 times. Prescribed an Rx that had side effects that were counteractive to my history, didn't go over my MRI with me, even though my dr sent me to him due to the seriousness of the results...even though I lived an active life before my fall. Suggested epidural shots even after I shared my inability to stand after one shot in '03. Even if he said I had needed surgery, I wouldn't trust him to do it. He was the worst dr I have ever gone to and am forced to seek a second opinion now. It's obvious he's in this business for the money and not the care of his patients. Seek care some where else! more details
