Mitchell W. Cox, MD

I’m a vascular surgeon who sees a variety of patients including diabetics who are having circulation problems, stroke survivors with blockages in their carotid arteries, patients with aneurysms and dialysis patients. When working with patients, I try to be as open and straightforward as possible. People who have a serious disease need to know what’s going on in order to make appropriate decisions. There are many places where a patient receives quality care for everyday problems, but if there’s something unusual or if treatments have failed elsewhere, I think Duke is a great place. The doctors here at Duke have a lot of experience with rare situations and advanced technologies available. Outside of work, I like to spend time with my wife and two children, play the banjo and work on antique cars.
