Since joining his fellow physicians at TOC in 1986, Dr. Philip Maddox’s practice has centered primarily around surgery of the hand, wrist and elbow combined with emphasis on sports medicine. This has resulted in a practice that concentrates on the problems of the upper extremity (shoulder to fingertips) including those caused by trauma, arthritis, vascular disease, neurological disease or birth defects. Practical examples include treatment of cartilage and ligament injuries of the hand, wrist, and elbow; carpal tunnel syndrome, degenerative arthritis, fractures and tendon lacerations. As many of the injuries seen in Worker’s Compensation and sports involve the upper extremity, he has been active in both arenas and has developed a clear understanding of the needs of patients, employers, and athletes to return to the normal work routine and competitive environments.
Emphasis on sports has led Dr. Maddox to becoming team physician to area high schools as well as a consultant for the Tennessee Valley Vipers, the Huntsville Havoc and Alabama A & M. Treating these high demand patients has intensified and sharpened his understanding of the problems and treatment of the upper extremity and allowed him to provide better care of all his patients.
Teaching and sharing of his expertise and experience has always been an important part of his practice. Dr. Maddox routinely presents lectures and instructional courses both locally and regionally as well as teaches medical students, residents, and patient groups. He has always felt that better medical education of all involved leads to optimal recovery.
“Not only do I have a fascination with the scientific and technological aspects of orthopedic medicine, I am also grateful for the fulfillment of the purpose and the reward of helping others. There is nothing like being able to help someone get back to life as usual, when dysfunction has prevented them from doing the things they love”. Dr. Philip A. Maddox.

Talked through what he going to do. Very nice
Dr Maddox. Is the best knowledgeable and personal physician there is
This will be my eighth hand surgery with Dr. Madox. He is a very excellent surgeon. I can barely see the scars of both carpal tunnel wrist, 4 trigger fingers and 1 trigger thumb. This coming surgery is for my other thumb for trigger thumb. Without Dr. Madox expertise doing these surgeries for me, I would not be able to use my hands. He is also very kind and caring.

Very Professional,
Dr Maddox and staff were very good. Explained everything and presented the options I had.
I showed up 10 min before my 0730 appointment. by about 0745 I was done and heading to my truck. Interacting with both the Nurse and the Doctor was very good. They genuinely seemed helpful and concerned.
He is a great Doctor and tells it like it is
Very informative and answered every question so I understood. I was very pleased with my experience.
Dr. Maddox has been my orthopedic surgeon for almost 30 years and he hasn't let me down yet.
