I saw him for a severe ankle fracture in September of 2023. Despite my concern that he wasn’t an orthopedic surgeon, and ignoring my better judgment, I allowed him to do surgery. The surgery went very well, although I had to take myself off of certain medications pre-op and advise him which blood thinners I should be on post-op based on my health history, previous surgeries, and the fact that I am a providerMy follow up appointments were with his 3rd year resident. Although he said in the chart notes that he saw me- he didn’... read more

After a failed Brostrom procedure on my left ankle in 2010 left me again searching for answers, I thankfully ended up in the care of Dr. Laxson. I’ve been holding off on this review until I was over a year past the surgery to ensure it held up.

Had a few visits with him and found him to be very unsympathetic and arrogant. He was also very rush at all my appointments like he didn’t care about the patient. He didn’t involve the patient in his care. It was only his ways and he was dismissive in my concerns and questions. I felt like just another health record number rather than a patient.

He then wanted me to start weight baring but wound care was clear that pressure ulcers on the heel don't heal well with weight baring. He yelled at me in front of the fracture clinic about pain managem... read more

I found him to be arrogant, dismissive, hurried, and rude. He messed up my surgery too. He lied about the potential outcomes, didn't tell me the risks, and once he walked out of the OR, he didn't give a rip about my pain, lack of motion, and failure at PT.
