For April West Fox, M.D., FACS, FASCRS, caring for patients means combining surgical expertise with empathy, education, and trust. A board-certified colon and rectal surgeon and general surgeon, Dr. Fox is known for helping patients navigate sensitive and often complex conditions with compassion and confidence.
A native of Lubbock, Texas, Dr. Fox has dedicated her career to providing thoughtful, specialized care for conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and digestive system.

Dr. Fox has a special interest in minimally invasive surgery, offering patients treatment options designed to support faster recovery times and improved outcomes whenever possible. Her clinical focus includes colonoscopy, colon and rectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, benign anorectal disorders, and pelvic floor dysfunction, helping patients manage both routine concerns and more complex diagnoses with personalized care.
Understanding that many colorectal conditions can feel overwhelming or difficult to discuss, Dr. Fox prioritizes creating an environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions and actively participating in their care. She believes that taking time to listen and educate patients is just as important as delivering excellent surgical outcomes.
