Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Arrogant and negligent
Dr. Paxton is negligent and arrogant. He made me feel like garbage after having my baby via c section, he dismissed my concerns during my check up visit. I told him I was in so much pain I couldn’t stand up straight when I went in to have my staples removed from my c section. Later that day I stood up and puss came pouring out of my incision. When I told him about my pain he accused me of drug seeking instead of further investigating the source of my pain. I suffered PTSD from my experience with him and lost trust in doctors.

Dr. Paxton delivered my third baby via c-section and was very knowledgeable and was very confident in my complex delivery. He was my doctor the entire pregnancy all the way through my post partum. Not only for routine exams throughout my pregnancy, but Dr Paxton followed up with each issue I had and made sure my pregnancy was treated as I was his most important patient. I recommend Dr. Paxton to everyone. He is very personable and makes you feel like a person not a patient ID number. Great Dr!!

Takes too many patients and can not keep them straight. Tells me i have diabetes on the phone the day before an appointment then tells me i am in perfect health at the office. Kept forgetting important health information. Forgot to let me know i had an abnormal pap. Found out when i changed providers and requested my file. Scatterbrained...scary.
