My husband had back surgery recently. Dr. Maxwell was very thorough with explanations of what to expectt and what he was going to do. Great sense of humor and so very personable. . When I was waiting for report from the dr. after surgery all the others around me who were also waiting for a post surgery report got a phone call report. Dr.Maxwell came to me and told me directly what he had done and how my husband was doing. Fantastic surgeon!

Tests showed that not performing surgery would only result in... read more
