"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."
"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."

I’ve been abundantly grateful to have Dr. Maxwell on my health team!!!"

"My favorite doctor ever. I cannot recommend highly enough. I’m a little disappointed he can’t be my GP, but glad he’s such an expert in his speciality. My problem isn’t nearly as bad as many of his patients suffer I’m sure, but he still took the time to really listen and found an answer for me. The first doctor who did! (For any other doctors reading - “eat more fiber” is not a diagnosis.) This one person taking the time to listen and care changed my life. Sincerely."

"Doctor Maxwell should be the model for how every physician operates. He is extraordinarily focused on solving your problem, rather than focused on how to get on to the next patient faster as most doctors do. Obviously highly intelligent and capable. He will cut through any BS that other healthcare professionals shovel at you to make you feel better."
"Really like Christopher Maxwell and his assistant The treat you so good"
"Despite my Google name, my name is Jenea G.A. I have been a patient of Dr. Maxwell’s for about three years. He got me on track and got my gut healing a couple of years ago but I have found myself struggling again. I have been struggling for months with vomiting and nausea and severe stomach pain. I had switched insurances and so I was with other doctors. When I found out that Dr. Maxwell takes my insurance I started to cry. I met with Dr. Maxwell this past week and left with more help than I’ve had in months. THANK YOU!! I was reassured because he had gotten me in shape before. I know we can do this, and I am so grateful for such an incredible doctor and would recommend him to anyone. He cares."

Agradecidos por las atenciones. 100% recomendados"
"Dr. Maxwell was a fantastic practitioner, he was one of the first doctors to not automatically dismiss my problems as something that could soon go away or jump to the conclusion of an eating disorder. He took the time to have me get a number of labs done so that we could “rule things out one by one” and we can find the root cause instead of a symptom. He was very kind, fun to talk with and seemed genuinely interested in getting me the care I needed. Highly recommend, 10/10 will be and have already recommended him to colleagues."

"I’ve been going to Utah Gastroenterology for decades. I’ve been through a few doctors- others moved out of State and I gained a new doctor. Every doctor I’ve met is top notch! Now I’m seeing Dr Christopher Maxwell. He’s a great listener, fast typer, and above all, great at determining the root cause of an issue. So, I’m sticking with him. I had a terrible Nissen Fundoplication, aka it’s where the surgeon wraps your stomach around your esophagus like a hot dog in a bun to control reflux from a hiatal hernia. I don’t think this procedure is done anymore but if you run into a gastroenterologist or surgeon who recommends it, RUN AWAY as fast you can. This procedure was NOT done by any Utah Gastroenterology Physician. I’m seeing them and receiving help from them for all the harm this procedure did to me. They’ve been a blessing to help me heal. Dr Maxwell represents the best medical care available. And, the doctors at Utah Gastroenterology are not shy to seek outside secondary opinions because I was sent to the UofU to see a lead gastroenterologist there and he agreed with the treatment plan at Utah Gastroenterology, medicine has got to learn how to shorten the Latin for us simple folks!"
"Dr. Maxwell is very understanding and caring. I went into my appointment and was very nervous. Dr.Maxwell was re-assuring and honest. I like that he didn’t lie to me about risks involved just to make me feel comfortable and kept with the reality. It gives me trust in the care he is willing to provide. He is open to listening to situations and will suggest care based on symptoms. The hospital staff is friendly, nice and efficient."

"Dr Maxwell is the best GI in Utah! I’ve seen about 8 different ones over 17 years from various organizations for my disease and only two of those actually ended up being good ones, with Maxwell being the best! When others gave up or just gave the same generic responses or treatments, he went out of his way to try new things and do what he could to help me get back to what’s normal for my GI issues. He tried tests and treatments that other doctors didn’t even bother with and it was so helpful and was the only thing that helped me not just give up hope. If you need a GI, I highly recommend you make an appointment with him!"
