Dominic Maxwell MD PLLC

PLEASE NOTE PRIOR TO BOOKING THAT I DO NOT TAKE INSURANCE IN MY PRACTICE, FOR REASONS OF PROFESSIONAL AUTONOMY. HOWEVER, I DO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION TO FACILITATE OUT OF NETWORK REIMBURSEMENT FROM INSURERS. My treatment focus begins with a comprehensive evaluation with the explicit goal of making an accurate clinical diagnosis. A treatment plan that will address the underlying problem/s as well as the specific symptoms of the patient is then formulated. I use Psychopharmacology (medication management) and/or Psychotherapy to treat my patients - depending upon the condition and the patient's preferences. I also offer intravenous Ketamine treatment when appropriate. I welcome Children, Adolescents, and Adults to my practice.

Excellent and caring doctor
Dr Maxwell is such a great listener.
He was late sending me the tele invite info. He was provided info on my medical condition prior to my appointment. He did not prep for the appointment and had no idea or medical knowledge of my medical condition. It was a waste of my time and money. He doesn't accept insurance. I was made aware of that prior to the appointment but was not notified that he would not provide medical narrative of the visit and would not prep for our appointment, nor complete needed medical documentation.
Insisted that we do the appointment in person even though that made me uncomfortable due to the pandemic. Insisted we wear masks (which I was happy to do) but then didn’t wear a mask himself. Has yet to send a bill for the appointment despite requests.
Super nice and knowledgable.
Dr M was extremely bright, articulate and insightful. He was a a great doctor to work with and very easy to get in touch with. I was very impressed!
Dr. Maxwell is fantastic. Highly recommend!
Dr. Maxwell was helpful, I could tell he was paying attention to me and taking notes, and was vey easy and reasonable as I explained my situation.
Very nice, listens.
Meeting with Dr. Maxwell for both medication management as well as short-term psychotherapy continues to be the best experience to date over a twenty + year period. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that Dr. Maxwell demonstrates the highly tuned ability to communicate rather complex information regarding Psychotropic Medication in a manner in which a patient is easily able to comprehend the information.
I would highly recommend Dr. Maxwell to others who may be unsatisfied with their current psychiatric care. Because he does not accept insurance, there is a considerable expense for visits (as is the same with any psychiatrist who does not participate in insurance networks), and I would recommend (if you do not have the disposable income) to try a psychiatrist within your insurance network. If that works, then fine. If not, then book an appointment right away with Dr. Maxwell. Even with regard to expense, I must point out two mitigating factors. First, remember he, like others in private practice, are running a business, and like any other business, a profit needs to be made. But I will say that, relative to other psychiatrists, he does not blatantly make the profit motive his number one concern. Instead, he makes his patients' goals his number one concern. Believe me, there are psychiatrists that are ONLY about the money! I literally have had the experience of contacting a psychiatrist, and before he even said hello, introduced himself, and asked what he could help me with, he was already inquiring how I intended to pay. Second, he does not push needless appointments if they are not absolutely necessary. If you can survive two-three months without an appointment, then he will make that clear. He absolutely doesn't push you to come back every week to two weeks so he can make an extra buck (I have seen that too). Of course, if you aren't stable then you need to be seen more, but he is honest in that regard. As far as my general recommendation goes, I only see him for medication management, so I cannot comment on other services he offers such as therapy. I am not a big believer in therapy (and I don't have the money), so that is the reason I don't use that service. If my feelings about therapy and the income were the opposite, I would definitely see him for therapy. The main reason why I like him is because he does not dictate to you. He is not an authoritative doctor. He works with you to reach your goals, and he is willing to listen to you when it comes to the chosen strategy. That doesn't mean you will get your way, but your input is not only appreciated but considered. This is the opposite of my last experience. I had a psychiatrist who was constantly telling me I was this and I was that without listening to a word I was saying, and ultimately took me off meds that were working all because she wouldn't take the time to listen to me. He is definitely knowledgeable in his field, and I have the sense that he uses the successes and failures of other patients to help guide his treatment decisions. In other words, he isn't a robot who prescribes drug A because an algorithm in some psychiatric manual says that drug A must always be prescribed when patients have symptoms A, B, and C. And he is never afraid to go back to the drawing board and try a different approach if that is necessary.
I feel so good after my visit. Going to Dr. Maxwell was the best thing I could have done during a very difficult time in my life.
