Maxwell started her medical career with the United States Navy, where she started as a Hospital Corpsman before advancing to clinical physician assistant. With more than 23 years of experience as a physician assistant, Maxwell is focused on providing her patients with the advice they need to feel better, while also helping their bodies heal as naturally as possible.

“From the time I was in high school, I have always wanted to be there for people when they needed help,” said Maxwell. “Everything I have done in my career, and will continue to do, is focused on ensuring my patients can get the most of out of life and be happy and productive.”

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
