This was my first visit to Dr. Wilcox, and it was great. I barely sat down in the waiting room when her medical assistant Claire came out to collect me. Claire got me all set up and the doctor came in and explained the procedure I was about to have. She gave me tons of detail and really clarified my expectation around results. The procedure was far less painful than I had expected, and quick once my blood had been drawn and the platelets extracted. I’m hoping this PRP will last me for a year, but if I have to go back sooner, it’ll definitely be to Dr. Wilcox.

Dr. Carrie Wilcox was the first person to recognize my hip flexor problem. I've been in daily pain since an anterior hip replacement surgery six years ago. I MEAN....the pain was gone after twenty minutes in her office! Two days later, it's still gone. I really can't believe it. So, if any of you have post operative hip flexor pain after this kind of surgery.....go see her. I've been to few doctors and several therapist that had no idea what was going on. She did, immediately.
Thank you Dr. Carrie Wilcox. I am forever indebted to you.

She used an ultrasound machine to focus on both my painful arthritus/bursitis problems in a hip and a shoulder. Probed each area, drained leaked fluid, inserted medicines and done. Long term pain in hip and leg pretty much gone and shoulder almost.
Could not recommend her too much

Two years of knee pain diagnosed as arthritis looking at knee replacement. I was not convinced. Carrie examined the entire knee and found behind the knee a large invisible on the outside cyst. She drained the fluid and I immediately could jump and walk without pain. At 84 a great doctor, like Carrie, looks to problems beyond arthritis.

Very personable professional bedside manner as well as being an amazing doctor.

She always makes getting a shot in my hip a little less nerve-racking.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Carrie Wilcox. She is smart, friendly and really know her stuff with regard to treating shoulder bursitis. I was in constant pain for 8 months before meeting her. She did a thorough evaluation and her treatments have turned the pain situation completely around.
Adding: following my last cortisone injection I mistakenly used my arm in a way that led me to have acute stabbing pain. I was very worried and in the evening called the OPA Ortho answering service. They contacted Dr. Wilcox who called me back very quickly and was tremendously reassuring and told me what to do. It meant a great deal to me that she personally called me. It took two days but the pain totally abated!!

Dr.Wilcox is so professional, kind,compassionate & has a great sense of humor. When I see her it's more of a fun visit then the pain I'm seeing her for. Not to mention her assistant is a joy to be with. You won't be disappointed

If you are like me, you don’t fully understand or grasp your condition or treatment.

Dr Wilcox is one of those doctors that truly takes the time to answer your questions and unpack the treatment she is performing.

She also gave me some options and information to consider, prior to making surgery decisions, that have never been offered before. I left my appointment with Hope, understanding and ‘options.’

I am 64 years old, had nine various surgeries, have seen many doctors over the years… and truly tell you that Dr. Wilcox is one of the best medical professionals I have encountered!

Go see her!

Dr. Wilcox is always very friendly and more importantly, she is VERY GOOD at what she does. In my case she drained my left knee back and front and gave me a cortisone shot, all guided by ultrasound. It is very effective and she is very good at it!!! Walking so much better now. Thank you, Dr. Wilcox!!
