Dr. Paxton is a very good doctor. He explained to me while showing me the processes of how my surgery was going to be done on a computer.After the follow up surgery Appontment two weeks later he showed me the photos of the actual surgery and how my shoulder was repaired. He also did some arm moving to see that the surgery had started acomplishing the repair. I had a severe injury and am impressed that the pain level dropped so fast in those two weeks. If shoulder surgery is needed for you, he is the one to go to.
