Dr. Paxton is an excellent surgeon and bedside Doctor. He replaced both my shoulders pre-covid. I've been having trouble with falls. I was worried I may have damaged something in the shoulders. He had me stand shirtless so he could observe my movements and feel the muscles. He did a very thorough battery of tests. In the end he was very confident that my shoulders were OK. He recommended physical therapy for strengthening. I recommended him to all my friends with shoulder problems.

Excellent care. Both doctor, and assistant. X-rays were quick and done on schedule. Treatment given, already has positive results.

Excellent doctor, but won’t prescribe pain medicine unless you break something even though you’re in a lot of pain

Dr Paxton has always been very pleasant and interested in how I am feeling. He and the PT team - Dave and Bridget, have been wonderful. I highly recommend.
