Professional all the time answered all concerns 5/stars
Dr. Paxton and his assistants very professional and knowledgeable
He has been pretty good, however I think he should have been more through when I have had pain even after my shoulder surgery. He had me try PT which helped some but I still have pain. Regular cortisone shots didn’t work at all. Just need to explore other areas before now.
Dr Paxton Did a Reverse Shoulder operation on my left shoulder 6 months ago. I’m doing all my normal activities, golf swimming etc. Dr Paxton is the best,,
Awesome surgeon. I had a rt shoulder that had so much damage that I lived with horrible chronic pain. Saw two different surgeons that could do nothing to help me. I was referred to DR Paxton and after he looked at my imaging and he examined my shoulder within 30 minutes we had a game plan. I had a total reverse shoulder replacement. I am 2 years out from surgery and my shoulder is so much better than I thought it would ever be. Dr Paxton never gave up on me and I am so thankful for everything he has done for me. If I could give 20 stars I would. If you think you are at the end of your rope please go see Dr Paxton if there is anything that could be possibly done he will help. Thanks again Dr Paxton for always being there for me and always addressing my concerns.
