Dr Paxton and his PA listen and explain
Dr Paxton was very thorough and offered multiple options
Very thoughtful.
Dr. Paxton provided exceptional service during my appointment yesterday (Monday, 3/10/25). He very clearly articulated the link between the condition of my cervical spine and problems that I am experiencing with my right shoulder. He provide great insight into these issues and provided solid recommendations for additional examinations and follow up treatments. I received a cortisone shot in my shoulder at the conclusion of my appointment yesterday and I am happy to report that my shoulder feels much better. I look forward to getting the same positive results with my neck after follow-up examinations have been completed and the appropriate level of treatment is completed.
De best
I felt I had a concise, thorough and considerate diagnosis by Dr. Paxton, along with PA, Robert Wicklund. I trust their experience with my long-time set of circumstances with my shoulder. They made sensible solutions for me.
My first visit dr Paxton was very nice and seemed very considerate and committed to helping find out what is going on to my neck and shoulder
