Dr. Baxter did a fantastic job on my total knee replacement. From the early appointments and all of my questions, through the surgery and recovery he was excellent. My knee is getting better all the time and I have no more pain. Will be getting my other one done soon. New knees 2019!

I have used Dr Baxter for years — starting with my boys. When it came time for me to have a total hip replacement 7 years ago I knew he was the doctor to do it. I just had my other hip replaced 7 weeks ago and everything is fine! Highly recommend him.

I have gone to Dr. Baxter for years. He has done knee, shoulder, and hand surgery for me. I have never left his office without feeling like all my questions were answered. He takes time to talk to me and clear up any confusion I may have. I have never felt rushed. He is kind, friendly and professional. I have recommended him to several friends and family.

Dr. Baxter is the most caring, considerate, passionate, understanding,etc. Too much to list but most important God fearing doctor. He did an exceptional surgery on my meniscus tear a year ago and I have had no problems what so ever since the surgery. And what really amazed me and very comfortable reassuring me that I was protected and In the right hands during surgery, is that he prayed with my mother and myself before the surgery. That shows he is a true healer. I can go on and on about Dr. Baxter but one thing I can guarantee is that you can and will never go wrong being his patient. So to sum it up, Dr. Baxter is AWSOME!!!

6 months out from right total knee replacement, I wish I would have had the knee replacement done 2 years earlier. Dr Baxter did such an awesome job. I can walk without pain and my knee is actually straight. Thank you Dr. Baxter!! .
