Sunnyside Pediatrics: Jennifer A. Cox, MD

"I have an incredible amount to say, but to start off, as a former patient (from baby through adolescence) of Dr. Cox do NOT bring your child to her practice ESPECIALLY if they are not the eugenicist ideal of “healthy” i.e. no disabilities or chronic illnesses, things that are crucial for pediatricians to be diligent to screen for and treat. Dr. Cox will not only neglect these concerns, but will blatantly gaslight children and parents into neglect of children’s health. Causing severe psychological trauma as well as dangerous negligence of health concerns. It is not only my experience but that of my sibling, as well as a strikingly similar experience I recently discovered someone my age also experienced having her as their pediatrician as well. To share my story, I am now 25, at age 8 I began to attempt to seek Dr Coxs help for my health concerns, I had and continue to have severe migraines where I was missing school, unable to be active, throwing up weekly, and in such severe pain I expressed “wanting to die” at age 8 from severe pain. Dr. Cox not once ever responded my health concern with recommendations or referrals. Not once. We brought it up over and over and all she ever said was “take four advil and drink a Coke”. Complete negligence I cannot believe this woman is allowed to have a medical license with this level of neglect and malpractice. Now at age 25 I am finally after years of therapy able to talk to doctors confidently and am just now beginning to get the medical help I need, which I should have been getting as a child when I first asked Dr. Cox for help. In addition to that, in my recent journey with my health I was blindsided with an autism diagnosis, something that Dr. Cox should have been diligent to screen for, but never once brought up was any concern to me nor my parents. I am now at age 25 juggling this mess of figuring out 25 years of health setbacks of having not only a negligent doctor but am actively harmful one. My experience with this doctor is something I wouldn’t wish upon any child or any family. To the point where I am researching options to seek justice all these years later because of all the pain and time off my life her negligence has cost me. Stay away from this doctor at all costs."

"Dr. Cox is an excellent pediatrician, she always takes the time to answer any questions or concerns. I am always able to get an appointment anytime my child has been sick. I am so glad I was referred to her because she has been so helpful to a first time mom!"

"Dr Cox has been my Pediatrician for my kids for over 20+ years. She has been so helpful in bringing up healthy children and has always been willing to help me as a mother with supportive and helpful advice. She has handled many weird instances with my kids and been very professional but kind and knowledgeable. She is a great Dr. All i can say its to bad all my kids have grown up because i really enjoyed my visits even when my kids were sick. she is a rockstar Pediatrician!"

"Dr. Cox was my family pediatrician. She is so kind and I loved her as my pediatrician, I'm 20 years old now and wish I could still have her as a doctor! She has always made me feel comfortable and cared for, she is such a great pediatrician! Recommend her 100% my cousins and I all loved her as a pediatrician! Thank you Dr. Cox! You are a truly amazing person!"

"Doctor Cox is an amazing pediatrician! We have been with her for almost 16 years now. She is always respectful of us as parents - she trusts parent instincts and has never made us feel foolish for bringing a child in for anything. She talks to the children, not over their heads, and as they grow she makes them an increasing part of their own care. She is now telling the teenagers that they are responsible for their health (with parents still giving guidelines and rules, but she's helping them move into making healthy choices on their own). We have one child with a rare chromosome disorder. Dr Cox considered all the symptoms (each one alone was not so concerning, but altogether pointed to an issue) and recommended the genetic screening ... when the results came back, she took the time to educate herself about the disorder and made sure to give us the diagnosis personally, and with as much information as possible. She is a great advocate and partner for our children's health!"
