- I absolutely LOVE Dr. Max and his staff. My first surgery with Dr. Max was after I was attacked in the face by a golden retriever dog that ripped my bottom lip off. It was on an early Saturday morning that I was rushed to an ER to find out Dr. Max was one of the top specialist to work on lips and cheeks and he was on call. He did facial reconstruction and really took care of me. I was only 24 years old and I lived in OK.. I was visiting TX for the weekend. So I was very scared and he reconstructed my face beautifully. Fast forward a few years and he’s now become my Go-to plastic surgeon because he truly cares about his patients. His communication is like none other.. I was in a lot of pain having suture spit over a weekend and he met me and my husband at his office (within an hour) on a Saturday to take out stitches so I wasn’t in pain all weekend. His office staff always answers the phone, returns phone calls, sends faxes within minutes... They are truly on their game and his work is incredible. Also, I’ve never waited longer than 5-10 minutes in the waiting room. My favorite thing about Dr. Max is you can tell he enjoys his job. He’s not just in it for the money.. He told me in an appointment that after this last procedure I have done there is absolutely nothing else I should feel I need to have done. Which tells me he’s not in this for the money. He’s a great man, and I’m thankful for their practice! They’ve always taken such great care of me!+ Read moreread lessSam D.×Sam D.I absolutely LOVE Dr. Max and his staff.
