Dr. Willcox focused his medical practice on geriatrics because he enjoys patients' desire to develop a trusting relationship and greater continuity of care compared to other age groups. He enjoys working with patients to find treatments that best align with their personal goals and optimize their quality of life, particularly when care can be simplified or reduced to achieve better outcomes.

Dr. Willcox, his wife, and three active children love spending time with their numerous family members in the Valley of the Sun. They love the outdoors, water sports, running, and skiing.
