Great Doctor! Even Better Surgeon! Pleasant Smart Efficient and Extremely Clean Environment! I highly recommended Doctor Paxton
Scared me about another possible surgery without enough explanation of what’s wrong and why.
Appt was 810 for Xray. Someone came in an hour early for their appt and was seen before me. Got seen at 925. Left close to 10. Very complacent about respecting patients time. Tired of Drs who run their office as if patient time and schedule do not matter. It does. I’ve had to reschedule my entire morning of other commitments. Dr was knowledgeable. I was on the phone rescheduling my other appts when he finally came in but left as I was on my phone. He came back in a few Minutes but I had bad attitude at that point.
Professional, knowledgeable and personable! We have the utmost confidence in Dr. Paxton and his team.
Felt very comfortable with him
I did not see Dr. Paxton; I was seen by his assistant who introduced himself as Bob. He was very personable, gave me my options, and administered the injection. Very pleased with this visit.
Oh my god. Dr Paxton is amazing. Well mannered and helped me so much. Could not be more satisfied . First time I slept in weeks.😄😄😄😄
Absolutely 💯 an excellent physician!!!
Very nice .
I cannot say enough great things about my expertise with Dr. Paxton. From our first meeting to our last he was professional, direct and friendly. The same goes for his staff. I worked mostly with Jenna and Rob, and they are the best!
