Reviews
Dr. Maizen was exceptional in diagnosing my daughter early and in advocating strongly on her behalf to ensure she received the care she needed. Throughout the process, she was not only highly knowledgeable and thorough, but also incredibly caring, thoughtful, and compassionate. Her willingness to listen and help us navigate a complex situation made an enormous difference to our family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Maizen to any parent seeking expert care delivered with genuine kindness and empathy.
Excellent. Straight forward and efficient. Felt she did a thorough job. Would definitely recommend.
It was a great pleasure seeing Dr Maizen with my 13 year old daughter in early January. Dr. Maizen is very friendly and personable. Dr Maizen comes across a very competent professional, explaining her diagnosis clearly and in a manner that a teenager understands it too! We would like to thank Dr. Maizen for her time and support.
Dr Maizen helped identify a spinal injury that was causing me great discomfort and distress. Her professionalism, knowledge and kindness was exceptional
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the doctor for the excellent care provided to our daughter. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and kindness. The explanations were clear, simple, and easy to understand, which we truly appreciated. The doctor had a friendly and professional manner and was extremely informative and helpful throughout the visit. We also received very good recommendations for further rehabilitation. We could not have asked for a better doctor or better care for our daughter’s visit regarding her medial elbow bone fracture.
My daughter was under the care of Dr Maizen. She was utterly professional and her diagnosis of my daughter’s symptoms was spot on - confirmed following an MRI scan. Dr Maizen was kind and sensitive to my daughter’s needs and we both felt very confident and in her care.
5 star care received, very good experience. Highly recommend!
