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.
Very short with no explanation, don’t know who actually did MRI report as my pcp and I read it and understood wording very differently. Not sure if he knew I’ve been dealing with this for over a year. I would appreciate a call back from him ASAP.
A thorough and thoughtful evaluation. Was able to see me quickly.
Outstanding!
I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Paxton and his team. From the moment I walked in the door they were professional informative, and definitely listened to me. My surgery went smoothly, and he has kept me informed every step of the way. They are also great about replying to emails and answering all of my questions. And I had a lot of them! I highly recommend them.
Attentive, thorough and informative
We met Dr. Paxton today for the first time. He, along with Dr. Shipp, was very patient with my 85 year old mom as she explained her pain & issues & they were very patient while I translated all the information to her.
He's always personable, professional and tremendously competent.
Dr Paxton is an excellent surgeon does excellent work and helps his patients 100%
