  • I’ve had a history of bad outcomes after surgery. I had surgery yesterday with Ruben Fox, and the team that took care of me before surgery was so excellent. I was nervous as hell. They calmed me down so much and turned this experience into something. I did not expect the service was outstanding. Dr. Fox made me feel so comfortable before and after surgery I’m doing very very well right now and it’s something I did not expect so as far as referring the services of OPA and Dr. Fox and his team is a definite yes words can’t describe the way I feel right now, but outstanding doesn’t even describe the way. I feel very pleased with the outcome of every aspect. The service was overwhelming and I’m very proud to have been a part of it. Thank you.

  • Dr. Rabun Fox is the best in all of the state of Alaska. He's very knowledgeable & has a great bedside manner. He gives out his cell phone # to his patients. Whenever I have a question or a problem, I text him & hear back from him promptly. I have never had a doctor do this for me. I have had a total of 23 surgeries on my right ankle since 2000. My first 14 surgeries were done in Chgo. Then I moved up here. I had developed a bad infection in May 2025 & have had 9 subsequent surgeries. I've had a total of 4 infections since May. We are trying to save my foot. We think my body keeps rejecting the metal. It's all removed now & waiting for healing. Dr. Fox has consistently tried to do what's best for me.
    I highly recommend Dr. Rabun Fox. You can feel confident in his abilities for your ankle/foot problems.

  • Dr Rabun Fox has been amazing since day 1. He alway reviewed all documents, explained everything in detail and ensured I was in great hands. the whole experience has been 5 stars. I wish I would’ve had his help when I started having ankle issues. I am very happy and want to say, thank you!

  • Dr. Fox I believe is the first doctor I have ever reviewed and I'm doing so because he is absolutely amazing. I was worried because the ER doctor I had seen told me I needed surgery as soon as possible and so when I initially was called back to schedule my pre-op and possible surgery date I was upset as it seemed too long. When Dr. Fox met with me he explained that it was actually good, and that due to the swelling we may have to wait longer before surgery. He then took me through the x-rays the ER did and explained exactly what happened to my ankle (I broke it and a portion of my leg). He explained the procedure and recovery time and scheduled me for surgery, letting me know if the swelling was reduced we would be good to go, but if not we may have to push out. When surgery day came, he again explained it all, how it would work, what to expect, and recovery and post-op appointment. I have had other surgeries in different states, Dr. Fox is the best surgeon I have been treated by.
