Our family has been beyond impressed with our experience with Dr. Maxwell and the ADD SOI services. My 7 year old son has ADHD, ODD and High functioning autism and has been kicked out of his preschool, suspended 3 times in the first month of first grade, and has seen countless specialist. Aden is highly intelligent and because of his unique situation it has been extremely difficult to find someone that could treat Aden. Dr. Maxwell is the only psychologist with both the knowledge and experience to treat Aden. Not only does she have the educational knowledge but she has real life experience with her own child that has a disability. Most of the psychologist that Aden has seen don’t seem to have enough experience to understand Aden, watching how Dr. Maxwell connects with Aden is truly amazing and a testament to her vast years of experience working in the field. We never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen and her staff was wonderful with the testing portion of our visit. She explained all test results and gave us a copy of our recorded sessions so that we could go back and listen to the session for future reference. She was able to give Aden practical ways to calm himself and work through his episodes. When we need her professional advice she is always open to communicating by telephone or email and always gets back to us right away. We cannot thank Dr. Maxwell enough for everything she has done for my son and our family.

Several friends and family have been patients. Some very useful information given. However I was surprised when she didn't adhere to patient privacy rules. Talking to others now I find they shared this concern. Seems like a very unprofessional trait in an otherwise helpful doctor.
