Dr. Maxwell is friendly, patient during the exam, and thorough in her examination of the eyes. She found an eye freckle which had not been mentioned in my previous patient records. I then had scans or xrays taken of my eyes, and she then discussed them with me. She referred me for a consult with a specialist to further investigate and treat the eye, if needed. I was very impressed with her thoroughness of the eye exam.
