ST. PAUL, Minn. (2/20/24) – John Fox, DO, has joined Gillette Children’s as a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician. He specializes in treating conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, Rett syndrome, brain injury and more.
Fox received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine before completing his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Rusk Rehabilitation, New York University. After finishing his fellowship in pediatric rehabilitation medicine at the University of Minnesota and Gillette Children’s, Fox is excited to be back at Gillette seeing patients at locations in St. Paul, Maple Grove and Burnsville.
"I enjoy Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation because it allows me to work with a collaborative team to focus on improving function and quality of life for our patients,” Fox says. “My training and experience in both pediatric and adult rehabilitation medicine care provides me with a unique perspective to aid in the transition of patients with childhood onset disability into adulthood. My aim is to provide holistic patient-centered care and education to help patients meet their rehabilitation goals.”
Fox is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and pediatric rehabilitation medicine by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
