Hi, I’m Dr. George Douglas Cox, Ph.D. practicing medical psychology, doing consultation and coaching for patients referred by surgeons and insurance providers. My areas are bariatric (weight loss surgery) and pain management (stimulator implants). I work with several local and regional surgeons. My overall objective is to make sure patients are ready, realistic and prepared to do surgery and, most important, prepared to practice better basic health functions to sustain a high quality of life.  

My Message

  • Successful surgical outcomes requires patient involvement and commitment before, during, and long after the surgery.
  • My goal is to help you have successful outcomes that help you lead your best life.


For your convenience, and to make the process fast and efficient, I use an online medical telecommunications portal.

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are simply unwilling to do.
