Be careful if you are on Medicare. He does not honor Medicare and you cannot reimburse his fee from Medicare. I spent $250 for nothing but a referral. You have to pay upfront to see him. He was a referral from a dentist. Find someone else if you have Medicare. read more

My 18 year old daughter had her wisdom teeth pulled today. I could not be with her for this, as I had to work. The office staff and doctors were simply amazing. She raved about her experience she had with all the staff members. She even had to make a difficult decision on her own about whether to proceed or not due to a root being close to the tooth. She asked good questions, got intelligent answers to make her choice, and she went through with it and the doctor did amazing. Root untouched! I cannot be more thankful to Dr. Cox and his team!! Recommend to everyone! This is the text my 18 yr old sent. How great is that?! read more

Mark Cox, DMD - This is the text my 18 year old sent after her visit. How great is this?! - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Redding, California

I broke a tooth and immediately got into my dentist (thankfully I work in the office so they were able to get me in same day). I needed the tooth removed as well as my wisdom teeth so I was referred to Mark Cox. I called them before my referral was even sent over and they were able to get me in the next morning for a consult and a few days later for the extraction. The staff were all so kind and Mark was very kind as well. read more

I went to see dr cox today. He pulled out my tooth ! I've been needing to have out for a while now. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with infection anymore. He was extremely gentle and understanding.

Mark Cox, DMD - About to get my dental work done - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Redding, California

I had the most positive experience with my extraction. The customer service is stellar. Dr. Cox was very personable and professional. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I sat in their very comfortable wing chairs less than 5 minutes before I was called back and didn't have to wait long at all before the Doctor came in. Checked in with me the following day to make sure all was well Start to finish to was great. Highly recommend. read more

Dr Cox is the best oral surgeon by far. Many people travel a distance to see him. You are in good hands when you choose Dr Cox. Highly professional, experienced, caring, knowledgeable and an expert in his field, he raises the bar for oral surgery. His staff are friendly and welcoming too. read more

Dr. Cox is an amazing oral surgeon. I went in with a gum infection, gum boil and a badly cracked tooth. With a referral from my dentist, I randomly called another oral surgeon and was told the wait time would be six weeks. There was no way I could wait that long. I called Dr. Cox's office and they got me in within 2 days because of a cancellation. That worked for me! Leah was his assistant and was so sweet and calming. It took awhile for her to take care of the details but once that was done full speed ahead. Dr. Cox was very nice and caring. I just had a local because I didn't think it was necessary to be put under. I definitely made the right choice. Dr. Cox was very gentle as he gave me a few shots in the gum. I was a little worried because of the infection and the gum boil. Honestly, it was a piece of cake. He warned me the shot in the pallet would be more intense but the pain would last just for a few seconds. It wasn't fun but he was right, the pain was very brief. After waiting awhile he came in to pull the tooth. I don't think it was but one minute and the tooth was out. Totally pain free. I was amazed at how fast he got it out. I had minimal bleeding, zero swelling and zero pain. Even on day 2, no swelling and no pain. Now, I'm not saying everyone will do as well as I did but I am over the moon with the results. Dr. Cox is very good at what he does and I am so happy I chose him. read more

10/10 I would definitely recommend ANYONE here! Ellie is AMAZING! Super nice and very comforting! She's such a sweet woman! She is definitely someone who will go over and beyond to make the patients feel important. It's hard to find that at places. Love this place!! read more

So grateful to have had this experience here!! if you're looking for an oral surgeon, look no further!:) read more

Tooth extraction , excellent outcome! Office staff and care team super efficient. We will drive from Idaho for care with Dr Cox if needed again. This was from one year ago after a tooth infection/hospitalization while visiting family in Redding. read more

I was in his office by 8:am and including the paper work and tooth removal, l was on my way home by 9:am. Dr.Cox and his staff were very polite and were so very helpful helping me with the tooth extraction. I can't say enough about the swift action and quality care l received form Dr. Fox and his staff. Was it an enjoyable experience, Hell No, but Dr. Cox and his staff made it as comfortable as possible. Go see Dr. Cox if you need a tooth removed.

Great office ! Treated with respect! I would recommend this office! Very professional! Kind and caring! My family and I would come back! We let people know the good dentists in town! Thank you for your service to my daughter and family leaving us with all good reports! read more

Dr. Cox is so nice and chill. I just got my wisdom teeth and a bad tooth extracted this morning, I was really scared because I've never had surgery or been under anesthesia, but him and the nurses were SO NICE ! They were trying to ask me questions while the anesthesia took effect but I was out so quick I barely had time to even answer them. It was so fast, my procedure took like 20 minutes. All the staff are so nice and helpful. It was actually a great experience!! I'm so glad I chose them (: read more

Best experience I ever could have asked for when removing 4 wisdom teeth and a molar. I've had terrible dental treatments in the past that have kept me away any chance I could. The team that Dr. Cox has around him is so incredibly supportive and comforting. They encourage all your questions and even give you great answers that do help relieve the anxiety/tension. Dr. Cox absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend this wonderful group of people. read more

I had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr Cox, I was so nervous about the experience but they put me at ease by answering all my questions. They made the experience easy by prescribing my meds at the Dr office so I didn't have to go the pharmacy. They also gave me a chin strap ice pack for my face that has helped so much and is super comfy. I felt good two hours after having my teeth removed and have had minimal pain. Dr Cox and staff were amazing and I highly recommend them! read more

Very professional office and staff. I had all four wisdom teeth extracted and I'm 66 yrs, it went well Dr Cox knows his stuff. His staff made me very comfortable and relaxed with just nova-cane. I didn't want to be put to sleep. I've been back for a couple post opp checks, and still was treated with respect and kindness. Very positive experience. read more

Had complcations with extractions, and was sent over to see Dr. Cox. When he was unable to do the extractions due to the high level of pain and anxiety I was experiencing, he set it up to do it under general anesthesia the very next morning because my comfort was a priority to him. My surgery went very quickly, in and out in under an hour. I am recovering as comfortably as can be expected as I write this. I have had many horribly traumatizing experiences with dental work, but Dr. Cox and his staff proved that there are some wonderful people in the profession. Amanda, one of his assistants, went above and beyond in keeping me calm and relaxed. I hope I don't need oral surgery again, but if I do, I won't go to anyone but Dr. Cox!!!! read more

I'm not sure anyone would call a tooth extraction pleasant, but Dr. Cox gets as close as possible to that! I never imagined I would walk out of there with a smile on my face. His staff was super helpful and answered a lot of my questions, and Dr. Cox himself was super friendly and took less than 15 minutes for the whole procedure. I didn't feel a thing rather than some pressure, and my post-extraction pain was almost non-existent. My wisdom tooth extraction (with another dentist!) was traumatic and so I was super worried about this one, but I was very pleasantly surprised and would recommend Dr. Cox highly to anyone who needs an Oral surgeon! THANKS AGAIN to Dr. Cox and his whole staff! read more

My teenage son had his wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Cox. I have to say it was a very good experience for him, (as good as oral surgery can be). I have bad memories of my own wisdom teeth removal surgery when I was his age. The staff was attentive, the doctor listened to my concerns, and my son was lucky and had no problems or complications what so ever. I would recommend this guy. read more

I had to have two wisdom teeth removed a few months ago and was trepidatious due to a bad experience having the other two removed as a teenager. Dr. Cox came recommended and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was in-network for my dental plan. I was very pleasantly surprised. His manner is kind and engaging and puts you at ease. His staff is super friendly. Most importantly, the procedure went smoothly and I had a much easier recovery than the first go around. I definitely recommend Dr. Cox and his staff! read more

I am writing this right now post surgery. I am pretty sober. I was sooooo nervous to get my teeth out. I HATE needles. I had 3 panic attacks before going in and I was googling picture of IV needles to mentally prepare myself. I went in and I didn't even know Doctor Cox had stuck the IV into me! I was so shocked. The staff was super nice and efficient. To anyone to is scared to get their wisdom teeth out, don't be! If you go to Doctor Cox you are in GREAT hands. I wouldn't recommend anyone else but Dr. Cox! read more

I really do not know why my dentist sent me to Mr. Cox. I was assuming that it was for sedation since I had developed an extremely fast and painful abscess. Tuesday I was given antibiotics and pain meds and sent to Cox Friday for an extraction. I had previously explained that I had extreme anxiety and traumatic experiences from past dentists that put me on edge and made me seriously nervous. I was thinking this was a specialist who was going to take care of me. Instead of taking time to help me relax, Cox came in and immediately started prepping to put numbing gel in my mouth. Before the gel even takes affect he stabs my abscess with the needle, moving it around with such force that my body involuntarily jolted in the seat and I let out a cry and a scream I didn't know I had in me. Which seems to annoy this dentist. I start shaking and crying asking him if he was supposed to sedate me and he matter of factly says, "oh sure I can sedate you." But says nothing after that. I had to ask through my tears, 'what would it cost me?' he tells me 400 dollars and no my insurance doesn't cover it. So I am now understanding exactly what is going on. He passively says, " you can always reschedule and come back at another time." After he wrenched the abscess in my mouth with his needle, he tells me I can come back if I want?!? I was shaking at the idea of him sticking me again in the pallet of my mouth. He has no real bedside manner to treat another human being like this. No care at all that I was having an anxiety attack from his sticking me like he did. It was extremely painful with no comforting, no explanation. I feel he is probably really cozy with his patients that shell out 400.00 for sedation but aggravated with those whose insurance payments is all they can afford. I am still recovering from this experience. I am physically in so much pain. My neck and head hurt but what is worse is the psychological trauma Cox put me through on Friday. I think he seriously needs some lessons in dealing with people who suffer from PTSD. He is not a safe choice for individuals who require a compassionate touch. And maybe not taking someone's abscess, putting gel on it and a second later, stabbing the abscess with a needle. That was just cruelty. Nothing more. read more

I would like to again recommend Dr Cox and his staff. Pulled a stubborn moler, which is healing without and complications. But today I recieved a Thank you card from him. I have never recieved such thoughtfulness from any dentist. 10 stars read more

Dr.Cox and his staff are very professional, answered all my questions, Very thorough with the post operative instructions and gave us a follow up call , my son did not have any problem at all. The only thing that could be improved is that I was not informed of how much my copay was until day of surgery and it was a surprised! I had to pay right there and then! read more

Great experience from referral to surgery. The office staff was helpful and got the paperwork sent out to me, had my insurance authorizations and cost info for me. I was able to have my procedure done the same day as my consult. They got me in and out in under an hour. Efficient! Friendly! Almost makes me want more oral surgery! read more

The BEST care and compassion I have ever experienced from a medical office. From the moment you walk in the door you can sense the professionalism and true concern that every member of their team has to offer. Dr Cox did excellent work and the entire staff walked me through the process answering every one of my questions that I had along the way. I recommend Dr Cox with no reservations. Redding is truly blessed to have such a fine surgeon. read more

I can't believe how unprofessional the office staff is ! If you have a appointment make sure you you call to confirm and have a list of questions ready because they will not call you. If you fail to call , and show up for your appointment, they will not remember you even had one. The ladies in the office will treat you like it's your fault. VERY UNHAPPY !!! read more

I always like to have DMD Cox do the work I've needed several times because I don't like being nervous and Dental work always does it to me. I have a comfortable feeling and that's important to me. read more

I had heard so many great things about him and his staff when I needed to have a wisdom tooth and 2 other teeth pulled. I live in eureka and only have one oral surgeon in this town and they are overpriced and do not take my dental insurance, in fact no one in this does. Had my consult yesterday with him at about 1:45-2:00. We decided on general anesthesia, especially after he said it will take 10 minutes after I was out. I must have questioned him 5 times about only taking 10 minutes. Once I was out, the entire surgery was actually 8 minutes!!! The whole process took less than an hour. If I ever need oral surgery I will definitely make the 4 hour drive and see Dr Cox and amazing staff!! The WORST part of the entire ordeal was being in Redding with so many great restaurants and not being able to eat :( read more

Not recommended: not communicative, "poor bedside manner," complications, peripheral damage, not responsible, not ethical, no follow-up, worst extraction experience, would never recommend. Compared to quality care received in the past, this Dr. in no way measures up. read more

I was a new victim but Dr. Cox was very good. I'm really a chicken-shit when it comes to having my tooth pulled. I would rather crawl up in the fetal position and suck my thumb than experience a tooth extraction. He did it within a few minutes with little to no pain. I like that. And I highly recommend Dr. He is the dental In and Out Burger. read more

Lady at the front desk is not very polite or professional. The doctor doesn't seem that interested in the patients after the work is performed. They rush you out and don't follow up with any concerns. I'd look elsewhere read more

I do a whole lotta research when it comes to doctors. So once my wisdom teeth started to give me grief, I instantly glided to Yelp. I was elated to see an oral surgeon with five stars across the board. Thank you so much, Yelp! As far as teeth pulling goes, this was the best experience that I have ever had. Cox is an outstanding doctor who has by far earned this rating. I remember when I found Cox through Yelp and Google, and I was torn between him and a different surgeon residing in Oregon. In the end, I asked a professor of mine if he had any recommendations for oral surgeons. He told me that his wife had gone to a phenomenal DMD in Redding named Mark Cox. I was so happy that it was the name of a doctor that I was already heavily considering! Right then and there, I made my decision. And I am SO happy that I did! Doctor Cox is such a professional. This practice is downright immaculate--it was really comforting to see how clean everything was. The staff is incredibly courteous, and the doctor is very mindful. He's attentive and considerate, and I cannot say enough good things about him! I felt very at ease with the procedure. I didn't even notice when he pulled my top teeth! He told me I was all finished and I was like, "what about the tops?" And he was like, "I already did them, silly." This place is just so efficient. I asked for a time estimate from one of the staff members and she was spot on. It took maybe fifteen minutes to pull four teeth. Once you're finished, they give you a baggy full of information on how to avoid dry sockets, etc. They also give you an icepack to reduce swelling, plus a bunch of gauze. And, to top it all off, they phone in the day after your procedure to see that everything is running smoothly. By that night, I was enjoying eating smoothies with a spoon. By the next day, I could eat soft solids. I've had a total of eight teeth pulled in my life. The first four were done by a general dentist, and it took me YONKS to recover. The last four were done here, at Cox's office, and my recovery time was beyond impressive. Prices are very reasonable. The price difference between having my teeth done here wasn't much more than if I'd have had them done at the same general dentist as before. The outcome was definitely worth the extra money. I highly recommend Doctor Mark Cox! I refer so many people to him. He is an exceptional practitioner and I am so glad that I went to him. read more

Had to have 5 extractions and we opted for 3 and delay for 2. He was very fast, gentle, and fair with his pricing. Will return for the rest of my work. read more

The best experience I've ever had, wish I would have found this office sooner. Very pleasant staff from the time I walked into the office, to the time I left the parking lot. The assistant was very polite, and felt like I was talking with an old friend. I went into the office and expected to be looked at funny, or treated not so great because of my teeth. This was far from what happend, the assistant even cracked a few jokes to ease the tension. I would highly recommend going here, have nothing negative to say about anyone, or anything here. read more

The office got us in right away for my husbands wisdom teeth to be extracted. They didn't need to do several appointments to get the job done. One appointment including exam, consolation and procedure. Wow what a great experience. They are all very friendly and helpful. The pricing was great! Inside and out the office is very clean! Dr. Cox is exceptionally informative and knowledgable. If our family needs anything in the future that this office offers, it will be the place we go. Finding a professional yet friendly and knowledgable place like this in Redding is not easy. Hats off 5 star service! read more

The best dental experience I have ever had. Everyone on the staff was excellent; caring and kind. Everything was explained well and I experienced no discomfort whatsoever. I was honestly very nervous about having a wisdom tooth extracted, but it was virtually a non-event. I credit Dr. Cox and his staff for the great outcome. read more

Amazing amazing amazing! Dr cox and his staff was AMAZING. I had my wisdom teeth procedure done 8 years old and then had my daughter lip and tongue tie revision done at 2 weeks old. I felt so comfortable and extremely satisfied by dr. Cox. They even called to check up on my baby the day after ;) she healed up beautifully and was worth every penny. Thank you! read more
