I found Dr. Maxwell and within one month I was pain free and him and his staff is so caring and knowledgeable that I wouldn’t go to anyone else.
I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Maxwell and his office. I just received a micro disectomy for a ruptured l4-l5 disc. This was my 1st procedure and couldn’t ask for a better experience.
