This man is an asset to UO! Both of my shoulders still function due to his handy work! If you have shoulder or elbow issues, Paxton should be your guy!

I thought Dr. Paxton was great as well as his PA, Dr. Smith. I am very happy to be excellently treated with such care and respect.
Must express appreciation and high marks for the young woman who worked my medical info and history prior to seeing the doctors. Dr. Paxton has a great team. Thank you very much!

On time. Quick but thorough exam after actively listening to the symptoms I’ve been experiencing. He described a clear path forward without speculating on all of the maybe’s until more information was available.
