Dr Maxeywas friendlyand caring. Took his time with me. Explained every detail about my brace. I broke my arm and wrist. It is fine now. And since I have smashed my knee and have no doubt to see him again. Thank you Dr Maxey.

The guy is an idiot and has no compassion for the patient.

I went to Dr. Maxey many years ago for back pain. I was only 24 at the time, now I am in my 30's. When he was asking me when my back felt best and I explained when I was lying flat he replied, "well Morgan we all feel better lying down." When my parents came into the room to discuss what he thought was the trouble my mother, being concerned, asked a question and he sighed and said that "I feel like I have just wasted my time". I couldn't believe it and I thought my father was going to hit him. He disregarded my back pain but did recommend an MRI. The results of that showed Degenerative Disc Disease and scoliosis. I went to physical therapy but not with him. I have interest in dealing with his unprofessionalism again.

doctor was mean to me, telling me I was a bad doctor because the e r report said I had a rotator cuff injury and he didn't think I did. released without any restrictions and am having so much difficulty.

Very little patient interaction. Never once asked my input on pain or comfort. Less than 2 minutes in room. "Putting a boot on you, come back in 4 weeks for x-rays. Good bye"
