“Dr. Thaxter is incredible. My shoulder has been hurting for a while, and he was quickly able to asses it and rule out some major tears. He sent me for an MRI to make sure nothing more serious was causing the pain and had a plan for what to do after depending on the result. I'm thrilled with the care.”
