“I chose gastroenterology because of the fascinating science and the chance to prevent cancer. I was attracted to a varied practice with time spent in the office, in the endoscopy center and in the hospital, plus the long- and short-term relationships with patients.
“I really enjoy working one-on-one with patients to solve problems, preventing cancer with screening colonoscopy and seeing results, both procedurally and in the clinic. I am understanding, straightforward, detailed and thorough. I like to empower my patients to manage their own conditions by helping them understand their physiology, what can go wrong when they have certain diseases and their treatment options.
“I am extremely thorough, and I provide evidence-based medicine to help patients achieve the best results and a better quality of life.”
In his free time, Dr. Maxwell enjoys mountain-biking, skiing, snowboarding and being a dad.

Really knowledgeable, great listener, and I appreciated his thoughts on my complex gut issues. Expressed hope which I needed to hear.
Dr. Maxwell and staff are great. I've been a patient for over a decade and have always felt like a priority. Never have I felt lost or unsure about the treatment or plan of action we choose to take. I will continue to use Dr. Maxwell and recommend him to others!
Excellent caregiver!!! One of the best doctors I've ever had.
Great doctor and commentator
Dr. Maxwell is excellent!! Friendly and explains everything in detail. He cares!
Dr Maxwell made me feel safe and comfortable.
Dr. Christopher Maxwell is one of the finest physicians I’ve had. He has extraordinary knowledge and expertise and made me feel like my ‘health’ was his sole focus for as much time as I needed with him. His compassion… empathy and willingness to look ‘outside’ the box are just some of the reasons I have had him as my doctor for the past 10 years and will continue to do so going forward. 👍🏻❤️
I wanna give big thanks to Dr maxwell and the team. Keep up the goods work and you guys are awesome .
Great service, Dr Christopher Maxwell it's more than a doctor,always answers on my questions and my concerns, thank you Dr Christopher Maxwell
Personal, attentive, interactive, respectful, and helpful!
This Dr is the best GI Dr I’ve ever seen. Patient, knowledgeable, efficient, extremely considerate of his patients. He helps his patients with no ego involved. I really cannot say enough because he’s good at everything. The worst I can say about Dr Maxwell is that he is so good that he’s very busy. It can be a wait to get in but even then if it’s serious they will make arrangements to take care of you.
Well, besides saving my life along with his staff and nurses, Dr. Maxwell is very concerned with your well being, and takes the time to answer all of your questions and researches ones he’s not positive about on the spot. Very knowledgeable, kind, and never talks down to you. Excellent with older patients. I can’t say enough good about my care there, and for years. Thank you.

Dr Washburn and his staff are excellent to work with. Very understanding and compassionate about my knee pain. Would highly recommend. Thank you to and your wonderful staff!!!!
This was my first procedure with Dr Maxwell. I found him to be very professional and thorough. He takes the time to explain in detail all aspects of the what's, where's, why's and when's so I knew exactly what to expect and I understood any concerns which put me at ease.
Dr Maxwell is truly a gem of a physician, he is compassionate, considerate, and thorough. I have utmost confidence in his treatment.
Dr. Chris Maxwell and his team have always taken SUCH good care of me!!! I just had my second colonoscopy as a 26 year old so I was understandably slightly nervous but the team did such a lovely job of putting me right at ease. Dr. Maxwell interacts in the way I would hope every doctor did!!! He listens so sincerely, takes such good notes to refresh himself about you before your appointment, doesn’t ever feel rushed, looks at you and the situation holistically, and is kind and sincere. I’ve been abundantly grateful to have Dr. Maxwell on my health team!!!
Dr. Maxwell and his team were kind and personable. They made sure I understood everything with very clear education and instructions. They assured that I was comfortable and provided quality care.
I felt very supported through the whole process. Everyone I encountered was kind and caring and very helpful. And Dr Maxwell, of course, was incredible!! He treated me so respectfully and kindly. He is a very skilled and competent m.d. and also has a really great bedside manner. I appreciate everything and highly recommend Dr Maxwell, his team and this facility!! Many thanks!!
All of the Staff was Amazing!
