Dr. Maxwell seemed interested in my situation and was thorough in her approach with a new patient. I had my records sent over from my previous doctor but they had not been available to her yet.

As a hearing impaired person, I found Dr. Maxwell to be very accommodating and very thorough. She explained everything she found and I learned more from this visit with her about my eye health than any doctor I have had before.
