As the son of a teacher and physician, Dr. Cox grew up with science and medicine in his blood from an early age. Working summers in a cardiology department as a technician, he quickly realized he loved interacting with patients. 

A legacy of service

For 21 years, I was privileged to help patients while I served in the US Navy. Now I get to continue that legacy of service to all of our patients in San Diego. I look forward to helping them live healthy and active lives.
