Dr Maxson is a kind and caring doctor, who doesn’t sugar coat his diagnosis. He was honest with me about my knee, without trying to push medications. He offered some options to get me through my planned vacation, then we will schedule surgery. I highly recommend Dr Maxson!

I saw him for a follow up appointment (I saw someone at a different location originally). He took the time to talk to me and answer all my questions. I felt he explained what was going on with my knee in detail and what could or would happen happen moving forward. I would recommend him.

Dr. Maxon is an excellent surgeon. He did an urgent orthopedic repair after I fell down some stairs. On my follow up visit. He was very thorough and found another fracture that requires repair that wasn’t evident in the hospital. I really appreciate how detail oriented he is. He is also very easy to talk to. He doesn’t talk down to patients, and he doesn’t make things hard to understand.
