Testimonials


Testi "Dr. Maxwell,

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding team you have amongst you. The support and professionalism exhibited by you and your staff during my surgery, on July 16, 2008.

In April 2008 I met with Jody and Katie who both were wonderful and professional. The treatment I received was second to none from Christine, (I hope I got her name correct) the nurse that assisted Dr. Ramirez with my paperwork, and calming my fears on my surgery date. She was a joy and a ball of energy.

Dr. Ramirez was great as well, “my guardian angel”, as he put it. Tell him I am still waiting on my pulled pork from N.C. (LOL). From the administrative team, finance committee, receptionists, to the surgical nurses, Estella over in the facial department, all demonstrated a caring attitude. This kind of treatment made the surgical experience easier to endure.

I will recommend anyone that is thinking about undergoing any type of surgery to your clinic. I have learned that the cheapest clinic isn’t always the best. There were other clinics less expensive but I am glad I chose your team.

Again, thanks to you and your team."


Testi "Dear, dear, Dr. Maxwell,

I knew it was time to do something when my Costco picture was looking better than I was. I also knew gravity wasn’t going to one day mysteriously change it’s directional pull lifting everything upward for those of us over 50. My dream… someday when I had the money, I would have a face lift. I began doing my homework well in advance.

I started coming to your office (Maxwell Aesthetics) for facials as a testing ground to the kind of service you provided. It gave me a chance to get familiar with the office and staff. My first facial was with Estella. She was wonderful. She explained everything she was doing and why she was doing it and what I should do for “up keep”. I think she even threw in a few extra treatments for me. I had subsequent facials with Sandy. She was also wonderful and fun. I think she threw in a few extras for me too. Every member of the staff seemed professional, helpful and pleasant. ( I find those three elements a rarity in most offices these days.) I was very impressed.

When I met with you, I loved the way you sat next to me on the couch and asked what I wanted to do, as well as, my concerns and fears (yes fears!). You told me what my procedure would entail and what to expect.

Post OP… I can’t thank you enough for, not only the skills you possess and your embracing personality, but how you treated me before and after surgery. Having a face lift is a big deal, emotionally and physically (it’s definately not for sissies)...but I highly recommend it! Thank you to Katie and Carol for the much needed encouragement they gave me several days after the surgery when I wondered “what had I done”.

Sincere thanks for my restoration!"


Testi "I must tell you how thrilled I am with my results! Gwen is OUTSTANDING and her work is flawless! She has an amazing eye for detail, symmetry, perfection and unique caring and concern for each patient. The entire staff is Fantastic and I feel she’s the BEST IN THE COUNTRY! Get a consultation and see what the results you can have! Thanks so much for all you do!!!!"


Testi "I have to tell you that I was cautiously optimistic that things would work out well for my tummy tuck and facelift. Now I have to pinch myself, what a marvelous caring experience I have had with my two operations, both pre-op and afterwards. I have been surrounded by an expert and caring staff anticipating my needs. I've had almost no bruising and with the vitamins and following the instructions closely for personal care, I have healed beautifully.

As a tip for anyone getting a facelift, I used a pack of those 12 inch square towel cloths (one can get a dozen in a pack). I cut a hole for my nose. Then I dipped it in cool water and covered my face while I slept. It took away the tingling and kept my face moist.

When I first visited Dr. Maxwell for a consultation, I was impressed with her comfortable manner and calm confidence. Then I also noticed her attention to the details of my particular face. She looked at me as an individual and understood by goal of having a natural, rested, pleasant restoration.

Now that my new skin and face repair is five weeks old, I am more than thrilled with the results. It gets better everyday as the residual nerve healing continues. My daughter, who lives here in Tucson, loves her mom’s new look. My husband, who was skeptical of my adventure, is charmed.

Oh yes, the tummy tuck, (well I was in pretty good shape before the operation) now I look and feel great. My stretched muscles have been restored to my youth. My stomach is flat and amazing. I love it.

Dr. Gwen Maxwell is so good. Her level of skill is exceptional. The grace and calm of her offices reflect her high ideals. I think she has become part wizard. I am so lucky. Now I get ready to return to Washington, DC and share my secrets with dear friends."

After graduation she was accepted into the oldest combined Surgery/Plastic Surgery residency program in the country and completed her training with certificates from Michigan State University at the Grand Rapids campus. Here she distinguished herself with honors and served as chief resident in her senior year.

Fellowship training was under the tutelage of Dr. Jim Carraway at Eastern Virginia Medical School after which she entered private practice in Tucson, Arizona.
